I find it interesting to watch some of the reaction compilations from LawTube. You can see the lawyers who have lived through relationships with these types of predators, and those who have not.
The best example is the lawyers listening to an audio recording of an argument between Herd and Depp where Heard is in full blown malicious belittling mode. Full on, Mean Girls high-school bully where she's giving him sarcastic affirmations and laughing in his face as she makes them. It doesn't sound like much, but when you listen to it, it comes across as maniacal and evil.
Normies don't understand that Amber is a fucking predator. She can't leave Depp alone because she is predating upon him for emotional and psychological sustenance. She feeds off of abusing him. When he tries to leave, she doubles the fuck down because she needs more sustenance because he's walking away. That's what the whole reason he said "a boxer can't go 10 rounds without a break". It's because normal people need breaks from the conflict, predators are sustained by it.
Here's them reacting to the audio in question.
Many of the other lawyers are acting with astonishment with her behavior. "Legal Bytes" misconstruing it as "Harley Quinn vibes", JRobineLaw is sure it's drug use, George Tragos / Tragos Law doesn't even understand the chaos he's listening to.
Branca "LawOfSelfDefense" / "HardToConvict.com" on the other hand has previously had a super-nasty divorce, and immediately points that this is absolutely her true form coming out: pure maliciousness. He's right, this is absolutely her true form, because he recognizes the argument, because he's had it before. So have I. Just a couple of words, and the tone she's using, and you already know you are in for her being a cunt for the next 2-4 hours (well, more cunt-ish than her average).
An Andrew Branca admirer.
A man of culture, I see.
I've been watching the end of the trial off-and-on on Nick Rekieta's stream. I also watched a decent amount of Rekieta's streams during Rittenhouse. So I got to know his OG panelists.
Nick Rekieta and Andrew Branca have surprising odd couple chemistry.
Nick gives no quarter, mocks everything mercilessly and doesn't care about SJW political correctness.
Branca is an aging, witty, straight-laced, gun rights advocate who similarly spits truth and doesn't care about hurting feelings with hot takes.
I haven't watched any of Legal Bytes' competing Depp trial stream, but saw Nick Rekieta comment after some drama the other night that "He doesn't know what 'LawTube' even is and who is or isn't in it anymore".
After watching a few seconds of your reaction clip, I now understand better what he's talking about.
There appears to be a whole new generation of lawyers I've never heard latching on for their 15 minutes of fame.
Legal Bytes is fine. Just less snarky than Rekieta's stream. She was always more polite and refined.
Emily's analysis is interesting because she's not looking at it as a defense attorney, but as a prosecutor. So there's a whole different mentality. You can also see that she loves the "grit" of legal procedure so that's another different take.
I'm fine with "LawTube" expanding because as long as it fucking challenges trash like Legal Eagle from having a kind of cultural hegemony over that space, then it's good enough for me.
