A Rapist's Life Doesn't Fall Apart the Moment They're Convicted of Rape, It Falls Apart the Moment They Decide to Rape.
Watching this video of Crowley and the reporter on the scene was outrageous. They completely lost all neutrality and seemed to be -- well what the fuck, are they friends of the victims' families or something?!? Why THAT much sympathy? For these little shitbags?
Because they're little jock football players in Anytown USA. Why this country, this culture still holds so much praise for assholes like this, is beyond me but it's a serious problem. Most of us guys have known the type before: popular, two-faced, charming and golden to teachers, parents and gullible girls. Monsters to the people they bully, beat and even rape. Many of them follow their jock prick destiny into frathouses in universities, make more lives miserable, step on more and more people, destroy more lives in the process one way or the other, get away with it and become manipulative sociopathic scumbags in the establishment of this insane capitalist system of ours.
What a SHAME that anything like a jail sentance, a 'sex offender' conviction on their record, would end up interrupting them on this path. As a friend of mine joked earlier today, these poor boys are now going to have to miss out on their prime raping years.
These teens are guilty of rape. This isn't getting through somehow which is stunning. When is the last time a high profile rape case's victims got such sympathy? They shamelessly raped this girl at multiple parties in one night and laughed their asses off about it. Imagine what other horrors, injustices these kids are capable of. For CNN it's a shame that they couldn't remain free. I'd already had it with CNN but holy shit, wow. Someone stick a fork in this network already.
This is our culture, wake up everyone, America loves assholes like this. The victim of this dehumanizing, horrifying, intentionally humiliating crime be damned, because a huge portion of our population would probably rather see them get off the hook while she, her family and friends bear the empty void of injustice.
CNN should fire Candy Crowley. Goddamn how disgusting

The Canterbury Is a Community Gathering Space, Argue Staff and Patrons.
I remember prying my ass out of bed the morning of Jan 20 2009 to watch Obama inauguration there on a big screen TV, and that day it certainly was a gathering place of dozens.. and I don't go to bars for team sports but I bet it's a good place for that too.
I'm a firm believer in considering bars/cafes as public living rooms. They're important! living is important! community, duh, important (you can make good connections of all sorts at bars, cafes, etc that you wouldn't otherwise make if you just stay at home to yourself.. bad connections too but hell we need ups and downs to keep our lives dynamic & that's necessary for growth :) ). Why do we work and excel in other ways as the fine upstanding citizens we are if it isn't to, you know, live? In, you know, our public living rooms? So, places like are more functional than most squares would think.

Swiss Army Knives Will Be Allowed on Planes Next Month: What Do You Think?.
Well you can slit someone's throat with a 2.3" knife, or boxcutter. And hold someone hostage. Well there's no point to the TSA then unless it's to keep people from bringing explosives onto planes.
And why exactly is it a bigger deal for explosives to be snuck onto planes than explosives being snuck into a movie theater, a cafe, a disco, a govt building, a school, a bus, . . ?
I don't get it, we've all been used to the TSA not allowing blades on planes and I thought we all understood why, just fine, with no fuss. TSA went totally robust after 9/11 because of the hijackers with boxcutters, so this makes no damn sense to me
