‘That ’70s Show' actor Danny Masterson gets 30 years to life in prison for rapes of 2 women

Reply in thread

I think in this case specifically, it was due to the threats and shit that were being thrown towards the judge and jury by the church of Scientology. The sentence is to send a full message to the church that no, you fucks cannot get away with these things anymore.

I'm glad he's been put away, not just for the rapes, but the murder of Cedric Bixler-Zavala's dog (from ATDI/Mars Volta. Masterson raped his wife, and two of Cedric's dogs were poisoned after she came forward).

‘It’s organised looting’: UK in grip of a shoplifting epidemic, say store owners

I was actually in my local co op last week (edit - time flies, no, it was a few weeks back now!) When a group rushed in, literally ransacked the place - openly filling up their bags, then brazenly quickly walked out. Absolute cunts.

Staff couldn't do anything. Said it's happened numerous times before. In this case it was a lot who were parked up on the local field before being evicted and moved on.

‘It’s organised looting’: UK in grip of a shoplifting epidemic, say store owners

Well yes, of course they couldn't do anything. I used to run a large convenience store before leaving retail for good around 15 years ago - I know the score. But it didn't stop ruining their day, and making them feel helpless.

The issue is the knock on effects. One of my staff members back then had her ribs broken in one shoplifting attack, and that was unprovoked. Police never caught the guy.
