tossing multiple items

wtf that shouldnt be a crime

He didn't just toss multiple items, he caused injuries serious enough that two fights had to be canceled and a third could have been if Rose Namajunas had been in a different place on the bus. Plus there was the whole thing where he wasn't actually supposed to be there.

I believe Utah has or had the firing squad, while I would be fine with the state acting out some horrifying revenge fantasy against them, honestly just shoot them and let them rot in a ditch so everyone can move on.

These pieces of shit don't deserve it. Death by firing sqaud is quick, painless and honorable. I'd rather see them get the electric chair.

A firing squad is only quick if they do it 'right'. As Jenny Fraser said in Written In My Own Heart's Blood: "Move one inch, my lord, and I'll shoot ye in the guts. You'll die quicker than he (meaning her husband) did, but I daresay ye willnae think it fast enough."

I have 3 year old nieces, and this story is rage inducing.

You don't need to have children or nieces for this story to be rage inducing.

Electric chair is too good for these people. They need a slow, painful, torturous death just like they gave that girl. An eye for an eye.

In cases like this, I usually advocate necklacing or crucifixion.

I'm 41, haven't played FPSs seriously since I quit Destiny post-ROI. That game was easily sucking up 80%+ of my gaming time.

Nowadays, I find I'm more willing to give indie titles a chance, when even 5 or 6 years ago I might not have bothered. The five most recent games I've played were (in alphabetical order) Fable Anniversery, Forgotton Anne, LEGO Marvel's Avengers, Little Nightmares and Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Of these two, I'd have to go with Vader vs. Hitler. To my mind, the ERBs work best when the battlers are more or less equivalent. Vader and Hitler both were in charge of fascist regimes (OK, really Palpatine was in charge, but Vader was the more visible of the two), so that makes sense. Lennon vs. O'Reilly, it's like...why? One was a musician, the other a journalist. Not much of a connection there.

Top 5, alphabetical.

Chris Benoit - What he did was horrific, but when you realize how fucked up he was from doing what he loved, that makes it even worse in a way.

Johnny Cash - I grew up listening to his music, but the last few years of his life, when he lost June and nearly his voice, were very sad.

Chris Cornell - Depression sucks. As someone said, he was surrounded by people that loved him, but couldn't see it.

Alan Rickman - Totally out of left field, one of the finest actors of his generation gone way too soon. He should have been like Christopher Lee and acting into his 90s.

Robin Williams - Truly tragic how he was more or less becoming a prisoner in his own mind. For someone used to expressing their pain in the way he did, that must have been torment.

And I hope it's not for another 40 years or so, but I know I'm going to be a wreck when James Hetfield dies.

Law and Order made an episode about it.

I enjoyed that episode, but they didn't make the Alex jones character crazy enough. Homeland did him better.

Some producer probably made them dial it back: "Nobody would believe this guy!"

The fuck is a merkin

A merkin is a pubic wig. Merkins were originally worn by prostitutes after shaving their genitalia, and are now used as decorative items, erotic devices, or in films, by both men and women. -- Wikipedia
