  1. I just looked up prop 115. I appreciate the heads up footers. There is not a reason in the world for me to go to California for this thing unless there is a trial. Given the multiple counts and the increased sentence due to the second strike law, it would make a heck of a lot of sense to have the guy plea to all three charges and have the sentences run concurrently, or drop one or two them in return for one guilty play to a charge with the enhanced 2 strike sentencing. That seems like a baseline of 4 to 10 years, although I have no idea about mandatory minimums or good time credit type reductions. The odds of a trial should be slim or none. if they can’t find my watch in his car, then it would be lovely if his sentence would include restitution of $135 - my cost for buying the replacement watch. I don’t really care about the money, but it’s one more thing he might fail to do that would be a parole violation and sent him back for more jail time. Because I’m a vindictive son of a bitch. and yet, I have a stinking suspicion that the result of this entire thing will be.
  2. Bail set at $50K Prelim hearing set for late August. I will let you know if I have to fly out there.
  3. Jason‘s law office used to be in my building. I jointly represented some civil clients with Jason before he was elected to the city council. I did not follow his criminal IRS tax trial in detail - just that Jason beat the rap and his former partner Nicole did not.
  4. 2.9 inflation if you take out food and fuel. Target is 2.0. JPow probably not gonna cut interest rates with those inflation numbers, especially when he cited Trump‘s tariff efforts as the prime cause of the inflationary move, so it looks like he needs to be fired for cause because the renovation of the fed building is taking longer and is more expensive. ” It’s not my fault interest rates are going up. They’re going up because the stupid head of the Fed won’t cut interest rates on my command.” MAGA:
  5. Narrator: because he really is an idiot
  6. A 10” rainfall event could be a problem for us without the hurricane strength winds. I agree that the storm needs to be well south of land to be able to develop into a TS or a hurricane. Duh and all. I just hope if it intensifies it does it during the day when we can see it.
  7. if it’s 10 or 20%, they’ll still be a big impact. I have a friend who sells construction stuff, including a lot of steel and aluminum to the Caribbean, and he says he can’t keep up with the daily increased prices. Every day I listen to Bloomberg and those assholes are talking about the mag 7 and equity markets going up as if none of this was happening. Blows my mind.
  8. Or is it a armadillo? you can never tell with these impressionists.
  9. Turns out the guy was almost 30. In my defense, I only had the ski mask eye holes view to determine his age. I prefer “vieux schnock”. Sounds more like a droll comment from some beret wearing sophisticate smoking unfiltered hand rolled cigarettes…. who likes drawing cartoons of possums.
  10. Shhhhh. i’m setting up my gringo bona fides for when Big Brother Ice reads this site.
  11. Which is kind of like wondering whether you wanted to be abused by Jabba the Hutt (Trump) or the sad guard Malakili, whose monster Rancor Luke killed (Bannon).
  12. The case finally showed up on the docket, and I got more information post-arraignment. My situation is only one of three felonies he was charged with. He has one prior serious felony conviction, and California has a three strikes plan that includes a doubling of your sentence if you have one prior conviction. If he has found guilty of robbing me (second-degree ) and the one prior strike is counted, he is looking at anywhere from 4 to 10 years in jail - and a second strike. He is also charged with two other felonies involving other parties on other dates NOT involving gas station muggings. Each one of those others could be a second strike as well. I assume (could be 100% wrong) the DA could also bifurcate the charges, find him guilty on one of the three for the second strike, and then later convict him of the third one and send him for a long stretch or life. Which are pretty good grounds for taking a deal and pleading to avoid that possibility. Dunno. But my guess would be that he pleads to all of them and gets 8 to 10 years in the pokey. In any event, I don’t think I’ll need to go back to Oakland, City of Light, City of Magic.
  13. And once the EU puts a 30% tariff on America for Trump‘s unilateral bullshit tariff letter, then Trump will pull away from the Ukraine deal, because EU = bad!!! Trump SMASH!!!! He is too stupid to parse out that there can be more than one good or bad aspect of any particular ally for our national interests at the same time. The toddler will just get mad and throw a fit at the world. Which concerns me, because if of all the countries of the world got together and said fuck the US, let’s trade with each other more, that might be -ahhhh- not good.
  14. Either mule dick or preventive maintenance
  15. No. They simply said that the entire city was not representative of one high crime area. You are generally safe visiting New Orleans, but I can guarantee you that I can point you to several neighborhoods that if you walk around there, you will more than likely be mugged.
  16. Yo no quiero doxing También
  17. Jk. Thanks for posting. But I’m still not sure whether you meant it was going south of Louisiana and hooking north into Texas - or heading west through Southern Louisiana. Cruising west just off the Louisiana coast would be terrible for us, with the counter clockwise motion causing storm surge (and the dirty side wind) all along the coast. doing this 30 miles inland would be even worse.
  18. it turns out the guy was in his mid 20s. Hard to tell age when you only have some eyes looking through a ski mask to judge. He is being arraigned in Oakland this morning. I got a call from a victims advocate who works for the city of Oakland around 6:30 on Friday evening. I again reminded them to make sure the DA says that the pissed off man wants to fly in on his own dollar to testify against him. It would be good strategy for the public defender to not take a plea in hopes that a guy from Louisiana won’t show up over a watch. The best way to help a plea deal is to get that message to the dip-shit. We will see if they need my testimony at some sort of pre-trial or preliminary hearing. I’ve never practiced criminal law and I have no idea what they do in California. But I know who the guy is and I’ve seen his social media. He really seems to love the artist known as Lil Thug. Professional courtesy?
  19. Mrs. Michael Caine was hot though…
  20. it’s like being pissed on is not appreciated by those people - and they will want to do business with people not pissing on them. Weird. Normally that costs extra.
