By "places to get rid of all that shit where it never would have been found" I'm thinking of stuff like burning the IDs and passport in a fire and stirring the ashes.
The gun's harder, but spraying it down with brake cleaner, running a rat tail file down the barrel, disassembling it, smashing the major components with a sledge, and throwing all the pieces in random bodies of water or wooded areas anywhere along his 5-day journey would do the trick.
It's not rocket science: don't keep the shit with you or any place associated with you, and destroy it before disposing of the remains in places that have no connection to you.
None of it makes sense. This guy isn't an idiot, he should have known places to get rid of all that shit where it never would have been found.
In this case their fuck-fuck games backfired on them. If they had left the jury deadlocked it would be a mistrial and they could try again.
By dismissing the murder charge it's over. They can appeal the acquittal of the other charges, but they lost their chance at the murder conviction.
Just about the only value police have to your average citizen is as a deterrent to potential criminals- which obviously only partially works.
Courts have consistently held that they have no duty to intervene even if they witness a crime in progress, meaning they can sit there while you are robbed, beaten, or killed, and there is no recourse.
Property crimes for people like you and me are rarely investigated at all. I posted elsewhere just this morning that I've known people who reported mail theft with video of the thieves in action including their license plate number and the police did nothing. I know multiple people who have had break-ins, and all they do is file a report.
In contrast, they seem to have plenty of manpower to issue you traffic tickets and various other revenue generating citations.
I mean he never should have even been charged, so "triumph of Justice," amarite?
He's just had his life ruined, and will probably never financially recover so that the DA could score points with the woke crowd. Nothing like weaponizing the justice system for political purposes.
Jesus it's all red flags with this bitch:
I asked him if he’d been following COVID-19 rules as strictly as I had
I have a history of terrible men. I have dated all manner of narcissist, idiot, douchebag and misogynist. (Occasionally I’d hit a grand slam and get all of the above in one person.)
As an adult, I became an emphatic supporter of cancel (or rather “consequence”) culture, axing people for all manner of misdeed, whether a simple political difference or a onetime gaffe that to me showed a rooted moral deficiency.
I am a fair-skinned, cis-femme, self-supporting New York Jewess
I live in relative safety, unlike people who are marginalized and targeted, like those in the transgender and Black communities
Our bodies are battlegrounds, now more than ever, and gaining access to mine has always been a privilege to be earned.
So, we've got a standard issue far-left COVIDiot with TDS, who just somehow always dates "bad men". Hey sweetheart, the common denominator in all those failed relationships is you. And she's jewish, because of course she would be. She did they guy a favor by leaving his life forever.
As others have said, no one has every catcalled fat Pocahontas there.
Second, this is another entry in the "as shitty as it is in the US, it's worse everywhere else" file. Under US law (and the dictionary definition), "harassment" requires a repeated or a persistent act and the 1st Amendment prevents the government from criminalizing speech, even when it's rude or unwanted.
There's nothing the government can do to you for simply catcalling a random woman from your car in the US, although I'm sure are liberal politicians would love to criminalize it as it appears Australia has done.
The system has failed, and the average man has no recourse to seek justice against men like Brian.
This can't be stressed enough. The term is "the social contract" and in order for it to work, everyone, including the government, have to honor their obligations.
People stopped exercising vengeance in favor of a legal system on the implicit promise that the legal system would be fair and just in resolving their disputes. If it no longer meets that ideal, people are relieved from their moral duty to participate in it.
CEO of a health insurance company that ruins people's lives daily got murdered? I'm honestly surprised this sort of thing isn't commonplace.
So is the US. We enjoy greater rights here, but if you exercising them ever became a serious threat to the government they would strip them away.
A gilded cage is still a cage.
I'm sure they're just watching something else, although I'm not sure what he's trying to accomplish telling everyone they're watching Judgment at Nuremberg. Just the standard Jewish schtick of wallowing in Holocaust victimhood?
The Nuremberg tribunals have always bothered me because they are championed as a "triumph of justice", but they were mostly ex post facto crimes invented for the trials. There simply was no concept of "crimes against humanity" or "waging an aggressive war" as a distinctly criminal act prior to this. They also didn't afford the defendants most of the rights somebody being prosecuted in the US would enjoy. I'm not sure how convicting someone at a trial that wouldn't be legal under your own laws can be championed as a Triumph of Justice.
They were simply the allies slapping on a veneer of legality while engaging in the standard age-old practice of executing or jailing the leaders of the losing nation after a war.
The generations that fought two world wars to defend democracy would have booed a candidate like Donald Trump off the stage. They certainly would never have elected him president.
The men that fought in WWI and WWII would find modern day America unrecognisable. It's a fucking nanny state where basically everything not compulsory is forbidden and your reward for being a "good citizen" by getting an education, getting a good job, and not committing crimes is to be taxed into oblivion to pay for a bunch of people who are decidedly not "good citizens".
And I can think of few things that would disgust those men more than the modern Democratic party's fetish with abortion, transgenderism, and illegal immigrants. None of those things correspond to the values held by the men who fought WWI or WWII.
a modern Dreyfus trial - and will end the same way
Wasn't Dreyfus imprisoned though? He spent five years on Devil's Island before being exonerated.
I think Netanyahu spending half a decade in one of the world's worst prisons is probably better than most of us think we'll get out of this.

Is Belgian. But if we're willing to stretch outside of France, The Adventures of Tintin is a Belgian classic that you've probably heard of. It's worth checking out if for no other reason then historical curiosity. The first story was published in 1930.
I have an omnibus of the one that Fifth Element was inspired by but that’s it.
Valérian and Laureline?
In addition to the Fifth Element, Luc Besson also wrote and directed an actual Valérian movie. It wasn't very good.
Unfortunately, judges aren't the neutral arbitrators that the system paints them to be. They're employed by the government just like the cops and the prosecutor, and they're often former prosecutors themselves. The implicit bias should be obvious, but even if it wasn't, the amount of times they bend over backwards to hand a win to the government would clue anyone in.
In a fair world the judge would have said: "Hand me a list of every officer who claims that they believed he was asking for a literal dog. For the rest of their careers anytime they give testimony or have evidence they collected presented to the jury, there will be a mandatory notification that they are fucking idiots and anything they say or do should be placed in that context."
We should also have him maroon Kirk on an ice planet with monsters that try to kill him the second he steps out of the escape pod.
That's absolutely something someone who operates on pure logic and follows all laws and regulations would do.
Given some of the outrageous family court rulings and how they casually ruin men's lives, I've always been surprised that these sorts of talks aren't a regular occurrence.
This is an oldie, but goodie and worth 45 minutes of your time:

Here we have a law professor giving a presentation to his class on why you should never speak to the police. Towards the end he gives the stage over to a police officer to add his thoughts and potentially rebut the professor's arguments. The first thing the cop says is "everything he just told you is absolutely correct".
Lots of legal fuckery in this:
A Dallas county judge annulled his marriage at his wife's request; making his children “illegitimate” and revoking his custody rights. His prenup was thrown out
How the fuck do you annul a marriage after 5 years with children? Annulments are supposed to be reserved for cases of fraud, e.g. the marriage was never legal because of bigamy, incest, lack of consent by one of the parties, etc.
His ex-wife then took the boys to California — on the eve of it becoming a “transgender sanctuary state”. She filed to have James chemically castrated, to get around the Texas court order prohibiting it in 2021
Isn't this a federal "full faith in credit" issue? States can't just ignore court orders from other states. Regardless, couldn't Texas just charge her with contempt and issue an arrest warrant, and then California would have to extradite her based on existing agreements between the states on law enforcement matters?
"How will this help us sell cars?"
"Cars?"
It was OK, but the original followed the book better, even if it looks exactly like you would expect a 1980s miniseries to look like. You'll be right at home though if you're cool with V, the North and the South, the Blue and the Gray, etc.
This one focused too much on Mariko IMO, with her physically fighting and defeating trained samurai. She also has more agency than in the book. Without spoiling it, there's a bit of diplomatic maneuvering at the end that was Toranaga's doing in the book but the miniseries turned it into her plan. In contrast, Blackthorne comes off sort of like an idiot, but he was the protagonist in the book and not dumb at all, just a fish out of water trying to learn about a completely alien culture.
This one wins hands down on cinematography, costuming, and special effects. Apparently it was mostly filmed in British Columbia and Canada, but you wouldn't know it.
Notice it only goes one way too. There's no tax deduction for unrealized capital losses
Yeah, I just checked the local place on the Pizza Hut website, and it's not immediately obvious because they present you the options to order for delivery or carry out pretty prominently, but under the list of "Services" for the location it says dine in.
So I guess they still operate the dining room at the ones that are full size freestanding restaurants. They used to do lunch buffet there as well, but I don't see it mentioned anywhere.
I look at the size and complexity of everything as a parabolic curve. There is a point where everything is in balance and the institution is at its "best" size considering the quality of the goods or services it delivers, the experience of the employees, the customer service experience if it's constituents, etc.
Endless growth is neither sustainable nor desirable. Big cities crow about how excited they are at increasing their population, but the increased tax base rarely supports the needed expansion of housing and infrastructure. We all have companies or products that we used to love and then everything turned to shit when they got bigger and dumped quality in pursuit of profit.
The sentiment is on point, although I disagree with the example. In general the EU is a regulatory hellscape, and I'm sure there's plenty of companies that would like to expand that are held back by their regulations. A luxury watchmaker is a poor example, because they have an entirely different business model, and a massive growth in output would simply devalue their brand.
