Good lord...two pages ago this thread was all about tits, and naturally I came as soon as I heard (phrasing...perhaps).  This morning its all about Nazis.

 

 

God I'm confused...and so very very hung over.

This is the mantra I live by...especially in times like these when I sometimes find myself disgusted by what it is.

The prosecutor in the Arbery trial is giving one hell of a closing argument.

One of my favorite board games as a kid was ‘Escape From Colditz’. Based on true story of a WW II German prisoner of war camp set in a castle, where the most adept allied escapees from other camps were placed.

 

In the game the players would each take an Allied country’s prisoners … Brits, Americans, Polish, French etc while one player got to play the prison guards.

 

When I got to be the prison guards I think I played the shoot to kill card with a little too much eagerness against prisoners attempting to escape and remember being disappointed it was against the game rules to use it inside the prison.

 

The board game is considered a classic although modern versions have removed the Nazi insignias and uses a Prussian Eagle instead.

Perhaps @TheGreatBuzz could share his expertise and confirm whether this is correct way to wear a medal when dressed in this manner.

So the whole notion that Rittenhouse’s mother drove him is a complete myth.  That’s what I get for confirming the true facts of the case.

He drove himself up there the day before the riots. He didn't bring the gun with him either.  It was already there, at a friend's house.

There were a couple talking points that were being thrown out there to make it sound like an open-and-shut case that didn't turn out to be true or were spun a lot....for example, that was kind of his hometown (his father lived there). And, even though he came from "across state lines" in Illinois, I think the town he came from was like 20 minutes away. I had a much different impression of the kid after seeing some of the footage than I wanted to when I originally read about the case. 

 

 

[tshile]

Yeah and now there’s talks of law suites about how the media handled it. 
 

not that I want to see rittenhouse become a millionaire from them, but, I would love to see some of the news networks get hammered for their bull**** style of reporting. 
 

they love to push tweets in the immediate aftermath of something without any verification of the information nor the people tweeting. We see it with every single one of these. They know damn well what they’re doing and they do it anyways. Maybe if they have to start coughing up millions every time they’re wrong they’ll put a little more effort into their reporting methods.

This seemed like a concocted story by the defense as it would be difficult to prove.

 

My questions is - would it even matter if the gun traveled across state lines, legally?

I’m still waiting for the media to get their comeuppance for insinuating OJ killed Nicole.
