  1. Well, wrongful executions is one of those numbers that doesn't need a lot of context and doesn't need to be "per capita" to be meaningful. I think most people are fairly serious when they repeat the old saw "better a dozen guilty go free than an innocent be convicted." And here we're not talking about merely convicted, but executed or well en route to being executed. The 201 actual exonerations from death row since 1973 should alarm the shit out of everyone. That's 201 innocents not only convicted, but sentenced to death despite all the safeguards. Yeeeouch.
  2. Well, really no more so than this board and these thread. If you give them that much credibility. Some have some good thoughts, others don't, or don't often, but no one has any real answers. Arch was anointed based on essentially $9.95ers, the actual ones and the national ones, and some of us bought into it hard. And that's not to say the "2A Lousiana" naysayer crew were right, either.
  3. 787 Million and counting shows who's lying and who isn't. And don't give me those cbs and abc settlements in response.
  4. Except that's not all he was doing. I'm not saying this in defense of his murder. I'm saying it to counter a load of shit about what a benign person and influence was Charlie Kirk.
  5. I don't doubt that the number of erroneous convictions is huge. Thankfully, most of those are not capital cases and even in a capital case, conviction does not lead inexorably to execution. The Death Penalty Information center identifies 201 exonerations from death row since 1973. https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/
  6. Slightly is doing some heavy lifting there.
  7. I don't see that from the Times. I do see it from the Post.
  8. The death penalty procedure is currently set up in an attempt to "be fair" to the accused. Yet, we still execute innocent people, minors, and mentally retarded. That's pretty much anything but fair. So I guess it's not fair enough. Or maybe by its nature can never be fair. And, people can effectively be removed from society without killing them.
  9. Except that his "buts" had nothing to do with justifying or celebrating his murder. They relate to OTHER things that are being called justifying or celebrating his murder. It is completely fair to point out the hateful things he said when he is called a great Christian or civil debater. In typical MAGA argument/rhetorical mode, you don't address whether those expressions were hateful or not, or even somehow inaccurately portrayed, or whether a true Christian would frequently and stridently declare such things You shift the argument to "but it's no excuse for celebrating his murder." It's a slightly more sophisticated version of "but her emails," or "but Hunter's laptop."
  10. That photograph is not being pumped as Robinson's "roommate" except by right wing sources.
  11. Confession accusation. I saw a similar thing relating to Letitia James case. Multiple emails with the broker and others that she was not going to live in the house she applied for a loan on with her relative, who would. But in a power of attorney to that relative to disburse funds and other acts at closing, there was a recitation that she would own and occupy it as her primary residence. An odd place to have such a recitation. So as if it was in dispute, these mortgage fraud charges are pretty bogus and won't support a conviction, but might support an indictment. And that sucks. The Trump administration is going to be a watershed era in the development of selective/political prosecution law.
  12. You are insufferable and in your monomania see not what is written, but what you want to see. Nails, hammers.
  13. Yeah, no one knows with certainty wtf is going on at any given time with any given player or group, there's too many moving parts for certainty. Which is not to say no one knows shit and everyone is wrong. Rather, the soundest theory stands a decent chance of being wrong. Thayguy presents pretty sound theories. And doesn't get baited into just name calling when people trash them and are wrong.
  14. Oh look, it's Brooke Singman again.

    Reed has to get injured at some point and if he comes back he'll be strangely a shell of the player he was today. This is an aggy qb.

    Things aren't looking great for us right now, but this is way over the top. We might get better. Aggy will definitely aggy. Notre Dame seems like they might suck just a bit.

  23. I had a Mike Schmidt h-web with closed back and Holdster. It got stolen out of my locker and was replaced with a Nocona AMG500 true outfield glove,which got stolen with my car from West Campus while I was studying for the bar. I now have a heart of the hide JD7. No name on it, but JD stands for JD Drew.
  24. In retrospect, all we had to base this on was $9.95 and we have repeatedly fisted ourselves by evaluating ourselves by $9.95.
  25. I'd kill for Marcel Reed right now. And that makes me wanna puke.
