What was taken I cannot get back

Well America itself is actually 6 time zones with the largest gap being 6 hours between the Eastern time zone and the Hawaii-Aleutian time zone so it could just be that OP

  1. Is dumb
  2. Is being intentionally vague for intrigue/outrage
  3. just lives in a country with one time zone and didn't have to think about it. This could be true even if they live in a big ass county like China or India since they both only recognize one time zone each for their own reason.

Darlie Routier - Mother on death row for allegedly murdering her sons, charges she continue to deny and pin on an intruder

Jeeeesus Christ talk about a weird case with no evidence leading someone to death row.

That whole trial seems insane like there's literally no evidence she did any of this shit. All they had was like some blood splatters they speculated MIGHT be caused by her raising the knife over her head to stab the kids.

Seriously what the fuck.

Edit: holy fuck have y'all read the signed affidavit from her husband explaining how he had seemingly hired someone to steal his car and rob his house for insurance claims???

Darlie Routier - Mother on death row for allegedly murdering her sons, charges she continue to deny and pin on an intruder

Reply in thread

After more reading it still seems like a lot of this is based on blood splatter stuff which is still super weird. It really sounds, the more I read the statement of facts, they took someone who was pretty fucked after what happened and who was already a little crazy and then cross examined the fuck out of her till she was like "I don't remember what happened!"

Which like shit I get that way when my girlfriend questions something I said too much. I have 0 confidence in my own memory.

I mean I agree with the defense like if you're willing to kill why not kill the husband for his life insurance why not idk rob someone. Killing your kids is such a shenanigans way to go about this if the motive is financial struggles.

The big thing that makes me question things is one of the knives in the block having fibers that are supposedly consistent with the intruder's entry point on it. A lot of people take that as she cut it from the inside and put the knife back. I mean that sounds compelling and all but like that's really the only thing here that feels like actually evidence that it may have been a staged crime scene.

Other than that it just seems a lot like they're speculating on blood stain patterns, remarking on a lack of evidence that there was an intruder when a lot of the evidence they expect from an intruder aren't the type of thing that HAS to be there, and they keep referencing these statements on the wound she had that are in my opinion really inconsistent. Like why'd they do the exploratory surgery? Idk the whole thing doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

I absolutely think you should wait until you secure a new place.

As someone who has done the breakup thing with someone I'm living with, and also broken up with someone after helping them find a new place to live (I used our cats not getting along as an excuse). I can say with no doubt in my mind that I preferred the situation where another place to live was found first. It's better for finances and it's better to give y'all time away from each other.

There are a few and especially imo one fuckin major downside though to moving then splitting: the splitting of the items. Living with someone post breakup you have way more time to start really taking inventory of what is yours. Depending on how cordial y'all are I've also seen it workout such that it COULD result in you remaining friends easier.

That being said, in my experience at least, that being friends by living together depends WAAAYY more on the person in question. Like I lived with an ex and it was fine but I've also lived with an ex and they were fuckin nuts sneaking into my room and looking through my shit all the time.

Disclaimer: My current situation is goofy bc me and the person I'm with are like back and forth on even wanting to date but we're so intertwined in each other's financial situations that like I can't decide if they wanna stay with me bc they actually like me or bc they're so concerned about not being able to afford life.

I do really see both sides to this. At the end of the day though getting away from one another is necessary 99% of the time. If you want to be friends you need time away from one another. Also, even if you've been with them a long time it's nearly impossible to tell how fuckin crazy a breakup will make someone.

I had a seemingly normal loving person i was with for 3 years (the one I helped get her own place that i mentioned earlier) just destroy my room when one of my roommates let her back in after our breakup.

I know this is a meme but also let's bring in the spirit of reddit and get some "well actually" up in here.

  1. We all know the tank flipping is just a game mechanic I'd say chief is more reasonably in the 2-5 ton range

  2. That pistol cartridge is basically a .500 magnum out of a pretty small semi automatic hand cannon. Idk if you've ever shot a .500 magnum but it SUUUUUUUCKS. Gripping that thing as hard as you can without shaking it still kicks like a bull and hurts your wrists. Not to mention the magnum in game is a semi auto pistol and has a slide that reciprocates and is probably heavy as fuck.

  3. idk when the last time you saw the magnum unloaded in Halo combat evolved but that thing is a laser beam. The follow up shots are pin point accurate and it looks like chief is just letting the recoil push back his hands for exactly how long it takes the slide to reciprocate.

  4. Even with his insane strength you gotta imagine that, that cartridge has at LEAST 4000 J of energy. My man is feeling that energy push back on him one after another after another in pretty insane succession. Super strength or not it's gotta be easier on him to not fight it every step of the way when he's obviously capable of getting that follow up shot perfectly with almost no time wasted.

Well yeah there's no chance a tank is only 2 tons you're right. I'm just saying his ability to flip the tank is inconsistent with lore and is, to my understanding, just a game mechanic for the sake of fixing flipped tanks.

Edit: for the record ODSTs can also flip huge incredibly heavy military vehicles in game which just further proves it's just a game mechanic. On the other hand the only game lore that confirms Spartans flipping things as a feat of strength is a mention in the Spartan Field Guide claiming Spartans can flip warthogs which are rough in the 3 ton range

How are you this morning?

Answer without oversharing: Could be better ¯\(ツ)

Answer oversharing a shit ton and telling y'all stuff I haven't told anyone else: Just moved to a new area to finish school and I'm struggling to find a job. I'm also concerned my s/o isn't attracted to me but I'm trying to avoid seeming to insecure about it to her.

I dunno there's something scratching in my brain like all of this was a mistake or something. But it's not really like there's an alternative.

I'm trying to be optimistic though.

That being said I'm feeling so unwanted that I ended up redownloading tinder. I don't intend to go on any dates or anything. I did download bumble bff so maybe I'll hangout with someone from there.

Idk what I'm even doing on tinder or in my life in general. I'm just hoping things will be less fuckin weird once school starts back up.

I'm replaying the Witcher 3 tho that's p neat Neonknight's videos have revived my love for it.

Idk I'm just really hesitant to even believe the "statement of facts" because so much of this seems like she was presumed guilty from the start. I mean go back and read the original statement of facts from any death row murder case that ended up overturned to give you a good example. Kirk bloodsworth Like those are almost always written in such a way that supports the outcome of the case in my experience.

Ralph Wright is another one that comes to mind where there's a statement of facts out there that sounds incredibly damning but resulted in his exoneration after DNA testing.

Complying driver has gun pulled

Reply in thread

So this happened in November of 2018 apparently. The guy in the video is the YouTuber Flexxinruee (Rudy Ornelas). He's a barber mostly and I believe this happened in front of his business.

He says in the original video on his channel that this event happened in November of 2018 and he won the case in August of 2019 after using the video as evidence. He posted this video to his channel August 6th of 2019.

As far as what exactly he was charged with it wasn't exactly released. CBS news asked and the police didn't comment. He did have a "gun charge" according to a CBS article from 2019. It seems that any other charges were dropped before they got to court and the gun charge was the only one that remained.

The charge specifically was for the illegal transportation of a firearm. In California you can transport a firearm only in your trunk or in another locked area/container IF the firearm is unloaded. His had the magazine in it. That's all they got him on. He went to court to get the firearm back and I believe he had to take a firearms class.

The police captain also claimed the video didn't show the "conclusion" to the interaction where they claim he admitted he knows why the gun was drawn on him and he apologized. That being said they never released any dashcam or body cam footage to confirm that. It's just a buncha talk as far as I'm concerned. Rudy (the YouTuber) never said anything to that effect so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

About 4 months back he posted a video talking about the situation and answering the question of if he sued and explaining why he didn't sue. He mostly just said he wasn't sure the outcome would actually be positive and there's a lot of religion thrown in there about how Jesus kept the cops from shooting him etc.

Edit: clarifying the guy's name, the origin of some of the information, and that Rudy never mentioned anything about apologizing to my knowledge

So PRNDS has me confused. Bc obviously it's

P - park

R - reverse

N - neutral

D - drive

S - sport

What I don't get is like why it's there if it doesn't show any of them selected

Like what would be its purpose/how is nothing selected if it does serve a purpose
