I mean geez, what garbage this guy is.

MFS62 Apr 12 2021 03:02 PM Re: How Does Eric Nelson Sleep at Night?

What a sleeze. I'm waiting for him to say, "If the knee pad don't fit. You've gotta ' acquit" Yechhh! Later

I have a friend who is a defense attorney, and he doesn't always sleep well at night. He's vigorously defended some guys during the day, and spent the night thinking "Jesus Christ, what if I win this one?" He quit drinking 20 years ago, but legalized pot has stepped in in recent years to serve as the damper on his internal conflict. He's probably around 60, 61 and from my perspective, he's kind of turning into quite the head. He's a great guy, but you can see the personality changes taking hold, and it's been increasingly difficult to catch up with him on a good day.

Jury has reportedly reached a verdict. Announcement due any minute.

Edgy MD Apr 20 2021 03:08 PM Re: How Does Eric Nelson Sleep at Night?

Former Officer Derek Chauvin found guilty, all counts.

Willets Point Apr 20 2021 03:21 PM Re: How Does Eric Nelson Sleep at Night?

Good.

Lefty Specialist Apr 20 2021 03:23 PM Re: How Does Eric Nelson Sleep at Night?

It'd be hard to come to any other verdict given the evidence, but I'm glad the temperature's been lowered a bit in this country tonight.

MFS62 Apr 20 2021 03:26 PM Re: How Does Eric Nelson Sleep at Night?

Justice has been served. Later

A test of how obvious a police officer's actions have be before he can be convicted. Apparently the line is somewhere short of strangling someone on camera with bystanders begging him to stop it. I guess that's progress. Good that the right decision was made. Awful that there was real doubt about it being made. Now I'm going to have a drink.

well, accountability anyway. Justice is a long way off.

In 2019, there were 697,195 full-time law enforcement officers employed in the United States.

so like 697,194 to go.

Apparently, it's never a good time to say whatever it is you disagree with. I'm still waiting for your permission to write that Paul Sewald was not the best Mets reliever of 2017.



It would make for far more interesting conversation if you explained what it is you don't like about that comment intead of that it's not the right time. And while we're on the subject, why isn't it the right time?

Edgy MD Apr 20 2021 04:32 PM Re: How Does Eric Nelson Sleep at Night?

You don't need permission to write any such thing. Neither does Ceetar.

kcmets Apr 20 2021 04:49 PM Re: How Does Eric Nelson Sleep at Night?

I'm not getting sucked into a maniacle-notion discussion that two-thirds-of-a- million cops need to be locked up next.

Nor Sewald posting permissions.

I'm not gonna presume what exactly Ceetar meant but I will anyways -- I don't think he meant what his post literally means. I think he was writing, in his own style, that there's a ways to go for policing to improve. Who would disagree with that? There's a vicious sarcastic comment a few posts before Ceetar's post, too (which I think is great, BTW). Any problems with that post? Still haven't explained the "horrible time" thing.

kcmets Apr 20 2021 04:59 PM Re: How Does Eric Nelson Sleep at Night?

Fucking vulture.

Lefty Specialist Apr 20 2021 05:02 PM Re: How Does Eric Nelson Sleep at Night?

The problem with Derek Chauvin is that there were two other cops right there with him and they let this go on. No one tried to stop him. That's where the problem lies.

kcmets Apr 20 2021 05:07 PM Re: How Does Eric Nelson Sleep at Night?

There's no viscous sarcastic posts I see. Ball busting, defense attorney style.

batmagadanleadoff Apr 20 2021 05:12 PM Re: How Does Eric Nelson Sleep at Night?

There's a vicious sarcastic comment a few posts before Ceetar's post, too (which I think is great, BTW). Any problems with that post? OK. Less than "a few". A lot less than "a few".

Fuck you and fuck this place.

dinosaur jesus Apr 20 2021 05:27 PM Re: How Does Eric Nelson Sleep at Night?

Was that me being vicious and sarcastic? I didn't mean to be. I'm just trying to find a good balance between hope and despair. I'm very relieved about the decision. I guess I'm happy. But you have to qualify these things.

But nothing vicious sarcastic, which is what batmags said. I'll be a civilian here in the coming weeks, it will level the playing field.

No, I'm certain that that's not the problem with Derek Chauvin. It's certainly a problem. And three more cops are facing trial.

Hopefully an Andy Taylor kind of cop.

What, like, a cop that presides over an all-white, all-straight, all-cis town? Are you trying to say that's what you want: AN ALL-WHITE-STRAIGHT-CIS CPF?



Some of y'all need to, like, fuggin' breathe before assuming bad faith on everybody else, then immediately shitposting. Or, like, go over to Twitter when you're angry-- that's where the angry goes.

Of all the silly-ass things about "Three's Company," in retrospect, Mr. Furley being the guardian of chastity/straightness while wearing an ascot that drooped to dick level-- and while being DON FUCKING KNOTTS-- is maybe the silliest.

Next year in Jerusalem! (CLUE: It has something to do with "trans") Yeah, I tried that first. I saw an article for cisgender but skipped it thinking that wasn't it, believing I'd find something with "CIS" in the headline, like definition of CIS or CIS acronym or something like that. Lazy me.

Not nearly as silly as John Ritter "pretending" to be gay. I tried watching Three's Company when it aired originally, It was so popular. I hated it. I thought the humor sucked. It's probably my least favorite TV show of all-time among shows that I've watched at least a half a dozen or so complete episodes.

The show was intentionally dumb. By the time Barney came along, he couldn't jump a shark with a motorcade.

He was told to do Barney, but a broader version of him, and was confused, because he thought it was obvious that Barney was done about as broadly as possible without just being annoying. The point is, please be cool. Mayberry likes its un-armed police force and so does the Crane Pool.

Derek Chavin gets 22.5 years.

In answer to the question in the thread title. For the next 22.5 years, with one eye open. Later

Marshmallowmilkshake Jun 27 2021 12:37 PM Re: How Does Eric Nelson Sleep at Night?

Why are we villainizing a defense attorney doing his job? The last thing you want is the government to be able to easily throw someone in jail, especially for a heinous crime like this one. A strong defense attorney makes sure they have the right guy with strong evidence and are able to prove it for all to see. That protects ALL of us.

Double Switch Jun 27 2021 01:13 PM Re: How Does Eric Nelson Sleep at Night?

For those believing that 22.5 years is still not enough, Chauvin has a Federal trial, for violating George Floyd's civil rights, on his calendar, should he last to that date. The sentence he will receive for that one will be added to the 22.5, consecutive, not concurrent. The full total is yet to be known.

Lefty Specialist Jun 28 2021 06:05 AM Re: How Does Eric Nelson Sleep at Night?

I'm guessing that Derek Chauvin will not have an easy time of it in prison. He may not last the 22.5 years.
