  1. Fixed amigo. I'd put the weekday 3 am folks from a Waffle House against the North Koreans if paired with the Ukrainian military all day, every day.
  2. Well, another big other factor is location and what the person who is shot was doing prior. Inside a home, in Texas all bets are off. Breaking into that person's car, all bets are off. Attempting to rape a woman, and she pulls a gun, self defense. Group of people that aggressively approach an individual(s) trying to start a fight, could qualify as self defense. Two jackasses getting into it in a bar then one pulls a gun.... almost never self defense.
  3. Or the protestor who gets right in someone's face, swats their phone from their hand and then when that person pushes them away, starts yelling assault at the top of their lungs. Way to many examples of entitlement stupidity, sadly.
  4. Its a silly distraction to take a breath before returning to the world burning down.
  5. Sure, he's a dick. The ongoing Johansson hate is the wtf that I was trying to amusingly "logic" out.
  6. Tractor Supply Co and Lowes/Home Depot for anyone in the south outside a major city. Walmart/Costco would be the main stays for all the major cities across the US for toilet paper and sodas.
  7. He owns a football club, big foodie, super fit and has a sense of humor. Who fucking wouldn't?!?! (Aside from ScoJo of course)
  8. The actor is much more petite and less muscular than the game character which is contrary to the character's intense fight training as well which I find annoying. Game nerd spoilers:
  9. Whoa... I see the parallel you're drawing but the Wire had one of the broadest, most interesting cast of character and actor arches of any show, ever. "It's in the game!" "You come at the king you best not miss." "Sheeeeiiiit!" "You play in the dirt. You get dirty." "A man must have a code." "How's my hair look."
  10. Well, based on all the information that has come out regarding Blake in recent months, I'm sure behind the scenes she's an absolute pleasure to share a life with day to day. Most of us have had a wife, and if not there is a wives thread on Surly for examples. Perhaps Ryan inaccurately holds Scarlett accountable for the predicament he has found himself in, compounded by the fact that he's married to a vindictive control freak. I'm in no way defending him, just trying to find logic as to why Scarlett Johansson sticks in his craw so bad and that quite possibly rubs off on Ryan's lovely wife as well. Based on my limited knowledge Scarlett Johansson is apparently a fairly decent human. If I were forced to pick between them, which is fairly likely given my celebrity status and amazing looks/intelligence/charm/money I know who I'm choosing.
  11. Ya know, his life would make for a truly interesting Amazon/Netflix series if they actually stuck to the facts. But instead we will get Squid Games, Beast Games, Bachelorette/Bachelor and Real Housewises of Alaska and like it. Get off my lawn!
  12. I would add manipulative to vindictive shit heads. Blake pretty clearly started all the shit with Baldoni based on all evidence I've seen, and he certainly doesn't appear to be the first of Blake's targets.
  13. Fred Rogers was a pretty amazing human. Ralph Nader? John McCain seemed like a pretty damn good human. Probably Ron Paul, Dwight Einshower and Lois Capps. Those are the only ones off the top of my head that I'm pretty confident about.
  14. Important note, if you actually follow this closely, he didn't start the PR campaign, Lively did. He and his lawyers were responding with counter claims and PR. Based on a ton of documented history it appears both Ryan and Blake made a shit ton of PR moves and shift plays throughout their finely curated and carefully crafted public personas. In fact, there's some reasonable evidence and speculation that "Nice Pool" in Wolverine and Dead Pool was Baldoni. There's an entire rabbit hole I found myself deep in and the complexities are such that I dropped out of online discussions as its just not a good place for it, imo. This really wasn't the first time Ryan and Blake did some truly shifty and bad shit.
  15. I quoted the Texas law for murder for him 3 different times. He wanted to argue over really stupid semantics that were irrelevant about if using a knife qualifies as serious bodily injury. He's trolling, delusional or extremely stupid. Edit - Wait a minute... just hold on. He's using hopium and maybe a little copium along with semantics and delusion to try and make himself/herself seem correct despite Texas law and all evidence to the contrary. Maybe s/he's an aggie?
  16. Hmmm based on the participants I'd say more like the Quinn Ewers thread. Too soon?
  17. It could have been that the aliens took over Anthony's body for a short period forcing him to stab Metcalfe. I don't think that should qualify as murder as it wasn't his will nor intent to cause serious bodily injury. Also it was a Swiss Army knife and he was an Eagle Scout, so Anthony was probably just there fixing the tent in the first place. Metcalf played GTA 5, Call of Duty and Rainbow Seige while listening to heavy metal music and he watched a lot of horror movies so its clear he was a devil worshiper.
  18. Or a guy who went to a tent with a knife looking for a reason to stab someone.
  19. Doesn't make a shit. At all. Like carrying a 22 lr pistol without one in the chamber. That's a gun, knife stabbing is knife stabbing. Irrelevant to this case based on current facts as we know them. If someone is the instigator/ aggressor self defense is out. If some isn’t in fear for their life self defense is out. You attack someone with intent to cause serious bodily injury with a swiss army knife or a bayonette, and they die, if it isn't self defense, it's murder.
  20. This this where you want to take a what I thought was cool personal story I told about a very selfless person that served the US and its citizens for the bulk of her life? I never noted which president she didn't meet. I already explained that the last one was a lifetime award and she didn't feel she'd earned such an award for just doing her job. She also didn't like Trump because shes a racist that hates white people.
  21. Agreed. Based on my experience those serving a cause in earnest, frequently, don't want or "need" the recognition for their work. They are serving based on a higher purpose if you will. Perhaps tied to their religion or other core beliefs. My mom actually met and was given awards for her service to the USA by 3 different sitting US presidents and a 4th provided a lifetime "Thanks" in the Oval Office. She passed on the visiting the White House on the 4th but accepted the other 3 for her teams. Yes, she didnt think she deserved them, because "her teams did all the work", so she "accepted the awards for them". Seriously. You could Google her name and nothing would come up, but I have the awards and pics. My mom, doesn't even see herself as a hero, she was just "doing her job". Yes, her words. She's obviously a much better human than I can or will ever hope to be. I try.. but nope not close.
  22. I would argue that he is not a civil rights advocate. I would argue he's a criminal and a grifter posing as a civil rights advocate. I would also argue most people who don't actually, ya know, go into law or go to work for an organization like ACLU or other similar civil rights/liberties organization are likely virtue signaling as civil rights advocates as part of their grift or in order to help further their influencer status.
  23. Neither is it available if he was the aggressor. My point is when he went to the tent and didn't leave when asked by the victim, self defense is gone in almost every case. Let me give you an example. I walk into your tent at a track meet, for reasons unknown and I'm hanging out. You ask me to leave. I say fuck you I'm not leaving. You pull a knife and say get out man! You dont charge me, you don't touch me, you only say "Get out man!" I pull a gun and shoot you. You die. I was the aggressor in the situation and while I might reasonably argue I feared for my life I continued to be the aggressor. When the situation escalted I could have walked away 2 different times. I chose not to. Self defense is really not on the table if there are witnesses to corroborate the events.
  24. First, the armed party can not be the aggressor. Then there are a ton of aspects that come in to play. Where it is happening (the armed persons home), what the unarmed person is doing (trespassing, breaking into their car, beating the shit of of them.) Too much to clarify without some actual specifics but the primary one is the armed person need to feel their life is in danger.
  25. Some people keep missing an important aspect of this, whether intentionally and by design or just unable to accept a reality. If you are the aggressor in a situation, and the person you're engaging with ends up dead, the self defense aspect is almost always, in every single imaginable scenario, gone. He went to the victims team tent. (Aggresor) He was asked to leave and didn't. (Aggresor) He may, or may not have made threats to escalate. (Aggresor) He made no attempt to run nor flee when his aggressive aspects escalated the situation based on all we currently know. (Aggresor/refusing to de-escalate/seek alternatives to esclate) Victim is stabbed and dies. Thats murder. Unless there are facts we have yet to be made aware of to this point. Trying to defend these actions as self defense, at this point given what we know, is like blaming everyone on the team but the QB for a loss in a football game.
