    Seems the threads’s original narrative has changed a little bit.

    That a common cycle on these issues whether true crime or other political issues:
    1. Propaganda attempts to shape a narrative
    2. Those that actually read the details and specifics tend to change their POV, usually the opposite of the propaganda
    3. Those addicted to the narrative dig-in and dismiss and attack anyone that challenges the propaganda (not everyone but most that agree with the original assertion)
    Sadly, it shows how easily we are manipulated and how so many are more concerned with a side than the truth.

    "Homeland and Life" is the rally cry for Cuba. They've already had death for 60 years. This is their "Come and take it." their "Liberty or death.", I hope it's more like an American revolution, and not more French. All I can do is pray for their safety, and I hope it goes well for the people in their rebellion of a dictatorship. 

    It's awesome how much America's institutions have rallied behind the Cuban people in support of freedom and social justice.

  3. Probably anchored by the long exposition I read but now pretty obvious Paulie put out the hit on Tony. That's been one of the joys of the re-watch is noticing Paulie's complexities.

    Seriously, just put your dog on a leash ... and remember which user name you're posting under.

    There was a time CNN would have had some crazy ass reporters popping out of bushes in Havana.  Now is not that time.

     

    It will go 24-hour and chyrons detailing some secret source in Florida said Trump once kicked a puppy. Our media is garbage.

    The FBI needs to be completely dismantled.  What a collection of losers.

    Since 2008 it's basically been weaponized against political opponents Gestapo-style. When you stop hiring the best and brightest and start filling out the cover of a community college brochure it is not shocking junior college results follow.

    I blame Twitter to some degree. Because Stites's BF also turned out to be a scumbag, you could see how some people might believe Reed was wrongly convicted in that particular case. (Not me, some people.) However, those same people paid no attention to the half-dozen other cases -- including that one where his semen had somehow find its way into the rectum of a 12-year-old girl -- and then you had this idiotic "FREE RODNEY REED" campaign on Twitter. Yeah, if we free him, you want to take him in? 

    Twatter is responsible for the proliferation of stupid, hysterical opinions, political and otherwise. We need to shut that Idiocracy down as a public service.

    That’s a reasonable opinion, but I’m guessing the retribution for trying to overthrow the government would be a little more severe than hopping on a boat to go play pro baseball.

    Also a reasonable opinion. Given some high profile players individual actions, the risk some already present: Chapman and Garcia (incidentally the only bright spot in the dumpster fire of a season) as well as Puig (what happened to that guy?).

    I’ve been saying that for years, on this board and the last. He’s guilty as fuck. His defense is preposterous and his supporters are useful idiots.

    I have not read the full transcript a la Sack, but he's 100% guilty. He's definitely one of the clearly guilty cases. I hate that cases like Reed and Routier distract from the many other wrongfully convicted. (yes, there are people that believe Darlie Routier is innocent). I love discussing these cases, but most true crime boards are basically CR.

    The ballsy move for the MLB players would be to find a way to get home and stand beside your family in the revolution.  Probably not going to happen.  The worst move would be to criticize the government from afar so your grandparents and cousins can be rounded up and tortured/executed.  Not shocking that most are taking the middle ground.  I would bet a bunch of them are stocking the boats in Miami trying to head south.

    Some of the players have issued some hot sports opinions individually. I wish MLB had their courage.

    Risky to assume all Cuban players are in support...I remember watching some of the Tiananmen goings-on with a Chinese student at UT and to all of our shock he was rabid n support of the gov't, saying shit like "these people need to be crushed." Yeah, that was a smaller uprising, relatively speaking, but to assume that it's the gov't and the secret police vs everybody is dangerous.

    True, but it is not like every player (MLB and other leagues) support their respective political statements.

  13. Boston Pride released a statement late on Friday, July 9, 2021, announcing that effective immediately that Boston Pride is dissolving. Like other PRIDE celebrations across the country the group grappled for months with complaints of structural racism, and transphobia so much so it had hired consultants and formed an advisory committee to help facilitate that process.

    The medical community is not one person or anything.  
     

    Initially they wanted anyone and everyone to get shots just to do it. Now people are starting to come around to the fact that it’s unnecessary and in fact probably wasteful for someone like me to take 2 shots. 
     

     

    I appreciate your analytical and scientific approach attempting to explain complex medical realities. I realize "scientific consensus" generally should be an oxymoron, it is difficult for lay people to make sense of the frequently contradictory evidence received from public health officials and members of the medical community.

    What kind of business are in and the age spread ?

    I’m 48, in Enegry. If you took me to hula hut for a team dinner, I’d be questioning why you’re work for us.

    Three middle aged guys, three younger girls-guys. Health care.
