Admittedly, I haven't paid much attention to many of rjrumfel's posts. Is he usually this much of a shithead?

What she tried to do was have him brutalized by the cops, and possible murdered"


Mr. Cooper seems relatively successful, and like he has resources available to him. Imagine if the victim was just a poor black guy without a lawyer or funds for bail. He would likely be sent to Rikers (currently going through an awful COVID-19 outbreak), have to wait weeks or months for a trial, and risk death from some virus he picked up in jail.

That's if he wasn't killed or seriously injured by cops, which could easily have happened.

I think that part is inaccurate anyway, they have an office there. But it's almost irrelevant, imagine worrying about who is lifting weights next to you.

So my comment is more to a bigger picture of people getting fired for shitty behavior that has nothing to do with their jobs. Thanks to social media, this sort of thing seems to be happening quite a bit. Does the bad behavior impact your work specifically? It's like being fired for being an alcoholic even though you have a stellar work record.

Does that make sense?

I'm not trying to excuse this lady's behavior at all. EMCE, she should be charged with whatever they can throw at her for making false claims (I don't even know if you can be charged).

I think that's a bad example because I'm pretty sure you can NOT be fired for being an alcoholic

Christian Cooper is a hero. That woman didn't stand a chance against his demeanor and use of SAT words.

You can definitely be fired for having poor character and being dishonest. This is why personal references exist.

Personally, I'm pretty happy that people are being fired for being racist. Comparing it to alcoholism is uhh...not great.

If I’ve learned anything it’s that this is a riot, not protest. Also these are paid protestors rioters. And they don’t have jobs because any reasonable adult human doesn’t have time to protest riot because they have jobs and responsibilities. And they should just comply with the orders of the cops and security, if they don’t they should definitely be tear gassed and arrested and even probably should be tear gassed even if they do comply and are peaceful.

She's Puerto Rican.
Which doesn't fucking matter.
But contextually, aside from whatever ethnicity she identifies as, I gauranfuckingtee you, she has lived her life as passibly white....and has never used the blurred lines between ethnicity and nationality other than when it benefited her.

Total garbage person, I agree.

So basically, she's co-opted our white privilege when it's convenient to her. That's cultural appropriation!

^^^^There's so much wtf in that story.

Did anybody ever hear of a paper shredder? Or furnace?

If I have something to hide on paperwork, I'm certainly not going to choose burial. And if I were a citizen of that town, I'd be so pissed.

But one thing the article doesn't explain is why they think there's something to hide. It almost sounds like, given the mixture of the types of documents buried, that the town chose burial for convenience.

Maybe convience? My initial thought was that whoever wanted the documents gone didn't want to also destroy evidence before pending litigation, or violate state laws on record keeping. They figured if the documents got "lost" under a foot of dirt, it's not destroying them.

I see. So there are legal differences between "destroying" as in a shredder, and "disposing" as in burying?

Perhaps? I'd imagine if whoever buried the documents end up in court, they would be able to say "I didn't destroy them. I misplaced them"

The supporters of Kyle Rittenhouse have to be the most heinous people that I've encountered on the internet.

They seem to revel in the deaths of the protesters that he killed.

There were about 8 videos of the events that transpired. At this point, most have been scrubbed from simple searches.

And I would have thought after 15 years you would have learned name calling is juvenile, pointless, and a logical fallacy.

Lol thats some conspiracy sounding shit right there saying they were scrubbed.

Also, dude should have been properly trained in using firearms. He should have shot the gun out of their hands or at the least shot them in the leg. The first thing my instructor taught me when using firearms was not to kill.

Point is....if Rittenhouse was a black kid, he would have been shot dead on the spot by the police the second he was spotted with a rifle.

dude’s had 12 hours to find any of the 8 videos he claims are hard to search for through a simple search

should be plenty of time to find at least one of them, no?

I'm sure that it will be rehashed during the trial, but my recollection is that someone threw what appeared to be a water bottle at Kyle Rittenhouse, he shot someone as a result of feeling threatened, others chased him as a result of him shooting someone, then he shot someone else as a result of being chased.

Quote :
"1. So you're probably seething about the judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse case saying lawyers can't call the 3 people he shot "victims," while there's a chance they can be called "rioters" or "looters"

Did you wonder what's up with this guy? I did.

Buckle up"
