Speculation breeds premature conclusions. Feel free to discuss the evidence at hand, but all speculations serve is to spread rumors and create misinformation. The internet is one big game of telephone where people's speculation turns into "facts" through the distance of one pair of poorly communicated tweets. Feel free to ignore my posts but I'll never not point out the dangers and intellectual dishonesty of baseless speculation.

No one needs you to do this

I don't usually like overly kitschy stuff, but I thought Bayonetta did it just right. It was self-aware enough to be genuinely funny at times, like when she has to shoot out a big hole in a gate to save peoples' lives, and the hole ends up being shaped like a heart

"Local" Chinese restaurant? Like there's only supposed to be one? There are 3 that I can walk to in less than 5 minutes.

I can find maybe 12 if I just drive around aimlessly for 10 minutes.

I think it's more asking which one you frequent

Great source we got here

That was the victim's cousin, who was not there, but who as a close family member to the victim is able to provide some information such as the fact that he was non-verbal and unlikely to have initiated a verbal confrontation

It's always a good idea to just fabricate theories out of thin air and spread them around with wanton abandon.

It's okay to say we don't know. We don't have any evidence. We could sit here all day coming up with theories that exonerate or demonize the man but it is an exercise in frank ignorance. It's not for us to decide at right this moment whether he is guilty or not.

Feel free to see yourself out of the conversation if you're not comfortable discussing it. We're allowed to speculate

No.1 Chinese Restaurant

We have one of these and I have no idea how it stays in business. They rarely have cars out front, and the couple of times I've been there I was literally the only customer in the place. But they've been there for 15+ years and the sign out front is so faded you can barely read it anymore

Ours is popular. Been a local institution for over 25 years.

Personally I don't see how ours could be anything other than a front

I'm very doubtful that he was actually attacked. The idea that the appropriate response to being attacked in such a public place is to open fire seems kind of stupid. Again, this is a very public place. You can call for help or you can pull out your gun, shoot, miss, and hit a bystander.

Acting like shooting to kill is the best response to being attacked is pretty obtuse.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you on this, but if someone has a gun and another person physically assaults them, they're most likely going to use that gun.

The job isn't easy and it requires a lot of her time. They are paid so much because of their performance and time.


What the article actually says...
The webcam girl recalls how she fell into the porn industry as a student because she "couldn't hold down an average job so decided to seek out alternative job options."

She explained: "It's such an intense course, there's not much time in between seminars and doing your assignments."

Although she was sceptical at first, Ella says her first ever video was the "best 20 minutes of my life" and it racked up over four million views online.

She took this job specifically because it does not demand a lot of her

Harvard can afford to be this picky I guess, because there's no shortage of people who want to get into Harvard. They don't have to make concessions, even if the issue is "this person used problematic language when he was 16."

Theres also no shortage of other schools he can go to. Granted, they won't be Harvard level but that's the breaks.

It sounds like it was more than just social media, he was one if these idiots that drops the n-bomb casually just because he feels like it and his peers called him out on it.

I do think this is a dumb thing to rescind his college admission over though. While I lol at an 18-year-old acting like he's not the person he was when he was 16, it's equally laughable for a college to cite maturity in regards to why they are making this decision.

Why is it unlikely? It's just as likely they attacked him as it is he over-reacted--That is to say, we literally have no evidence either way. We have some testimony from relatives which is about as useful as tits on a bull, and confirmatiom that he had minor injuries that were treated at a hospital. If we can get the CRTV footage or third party testimony we'll have a better picture.

Obviously I don't know anything about this guy beyond what's in the article, but it seems very unlikely that a shy, non-verbal mentally disabled man would, suddenly and unprovoked, decide to attack someone while he is out shopping with his two parents. I too am curious to see the footage because I'd like to know what happened. I think there was probably some physical contact that preceded the whole thing, and the entire incident probably only lasted a few seconds, but I have doubts as to whether it was an attack.

The average person doesn't carry a gun on them so you'd absolutely try to punch them. You also have the option of just running away. This was in a Costco so a very public place.

I mean, the cop shot both the parents too so I'm just gonna take a random guess and say he probably overreacted.

The average person can get a license to carry, as many people do, and would almost certainly use it if they were attacked in public. That's basically the entire point of carrying a concealed weapon.

But yeah I think it's a safe bet the officer overreacted

Freaking out over someone naming a Vietnamese restaurant in a topic about Chinese restaurants is especially silly when you consider most of us are eating fake Chinese food


Chinese food in the West is really like what the Americans call "American Cuisine" is an amalgamation of different regional foods, but most popularly Sichuan.

You can see the staples everywhere.

For the most part Chinese food in America is highly localized. I personally enjoy it a lot but would not expect to see the same dishes served in China. Maybe similar ones or ones with the same name

If you're holding your child and someone physically attacks you, that is absolutely a situation in which deadly force would be justified, especially if you have no way of knowing if the person who "jumped on you" is armed.

What makes this story contentious is the unlikelihood of that being what happened. I guess we'll see when/if the CCTV footage gets released.

Not sure how someone physically jumping on a person would justify shooting them anyway.
Someone jumps on you and attacks you and your kid? Then punch them in the face real good and get away from them. Police can then come and arrest them if needed. Shooting them is for wimps.

This is a pretty bad take tbqh
