    The fact he was in such a huge show and wasn’t satisfied enough with his success to conjure up this mess says loads as to what his personality is. Granted “Empire” fucking sucks but it’s massive.

    Remember: It happened in Chicago, and his southern-accented attackers who recognized him from a black-oriented music show were carrying bleach and a noose at 3am. It’s basically Emmett Till 2.0.

    I just don't see what anyone gains by sticking with him in light of such obvious bullshit.

    That always gives my an eye-rolling laugh whenever you see you see some fuck-up celebrity with a career in the final throes of death, they STILL have some big entourage of circus seals crowding them and doing their bidding. As if riding the coattails of this loser will somehow up your life.

    The Babylon Bee is not nearly as good as The Onion, but sometimes it nails it.

    I'm just waiting for someone to spin this from the modern day lynching many claimed to a case of attempted auto-asphyxia and thank God we're now able to get this poor victim help before he killed himself.

    I really miss Norm MacDonald right now, especially if he was still doing Weekend Update. He'd have had a field day with that. RIP

    They’re a pale shadow to the Onion. And even to the Beaverton as well. They’re like a Steven Crowder: they think they’re funny, but they’re not.

    They just don’t quite the element of satire as well as the onion. Also because the onion is an equal opportunity ball buster. No one is safe. The Babylon Bee prides itself on being something of a libertarian type deal where their headlines are along the lines of “look how stupid those people are”.

    There's an entire hour-long video explaining the problem with conservative "humor" done by some former Cracked writers. TL;DR: their idea of a joke is to provoke, then mock the reaction.

    My favorite thing The Onion has done is all the articles written on Don Turnbee.

    Peter K. Rosenthal’s reviews are also amazing.

    how in the fuck does this happen? Is there some deal where a mistaken belief that she was actually holding a taser means she’s NG?

    Sure, why not?

    Do you think Alec Baldwin will see prison time? He KNEW he was holding a real gun!
    Hell, did he even get arrested?


    Plus, she's a cop, therefore better than everyone else, except politicians and the wealthy. So she gets a free pass.

    forgot about that superseding cause stuff. In jurisdictions that have it, that can pretty much be case closed if they prove it applies.

    Damn and here I thought it was an open and shut deal with her being guilty at the start of it. Shows how much we know until the facts come out.

    “Sorry it was an accident” gets you out of killing a person, but not a traffic ticket.

    Prosecutors have an overwhelming habit of fucking up high-profile cases. Arbery’s trial was an anomaly to that though, that woman picked apart any excuse the defence had without grandstanding while sticking to the fact of law and what happened. That was as good as it gets, those three turds were fish in a barrel to her.

    If Zimmerman’s prosecutor was in that courtroom you’d have three fat, racist retards walking free.

    Kim Potter has been found guilty on both manslaughter charges.

    I'll drink to that; it's about time more pigs face consequences for their fuckups, instead of just going "oopsie, qualified immunity!"

    I hope she gets thrown in a tank with a bunch cholas, bulldykes, and bulldykes cholas.

    Ghislaine Maxwell found guilty on five of six counts of sex trafficking.

    I'm actually very surprised.
