Barisone Verdict Is In: Not Guilty By Reason of Insanity

[BrendaJane]

I believe a lot of the cowboy actors went on to compete in quick-draw competitions, but that is a very specialized sport…
I am happy for him that he can finally enjoy his horses and show them.
but yeah, I will be glad to be fresh in the brain and ambulate should I reach that age…

I think between Shatner and Queen Elizabeth, they are certainly providing a good example for the rest of us.

Although I think the Queen has finally had to stop riding herself. But I believe that’s just happened within the last six or eight months. And she is, what? 96 now? Or 95? Some number like that. So she probably rode for a good solid 90 years, since I believe she started quite young. Props to her.

I think that what Mary Haskins did was to:

Ride better than Lauren
Work harder than Lauren
Show more class than Lauren

Thereby incurring the wrath of Lauren.

I would argue that Mary Haskins, just being alive and breathing, incurs the wrath of Lauren “Who Does That” Kanarek!

Jealousy is a terrible, terrible emotion!

I think LK does love her horses and dogs. (Although if she really loved her dogs, maybe she would spend the time with them, at least Rosie, to teach them how to behave—a well behaved dog is a happy dog, but snuggling on the couch and feeding them treats really makes them love you back).*

I’m just wondering if she has a tendency to be a hoarder when it comes to the horses. I do understand the concept of having more than one horse at the same level. (Kind of like a big barn going to the Big Equation finals and taking along a few extra horses capable of the job just in case). But she seemed to be acquiring them rather quickly.

*Ding ding ding—maybe this is the whole thing—someone to love her back…….

I think horses are an accessory to LK- something to add a little sparkle and make her look good. Nothing more, nothing less.

But, it takes a whole lot more to hide what has been brought out in these last 2 1/2 years about LK and her behavior.

The equestrian world is small, and most involved in it have very, very long memories!

[BrendaJane]

she was still posing with her ponies recently.
One can only hope to reach that age the way they have!

[eggbutt]

Where?

[MHM]

Yes, I think they just put out a portrait of her with her ponies for her birthday not long ago. But I’m sure I saw pictures of her actually riding last fall, so it was not very long ago that she was still in the saddle.

I just read an article recently about how she had a horse entered in a big race in England. I think maybe it was the Epsom Derby, and she was really hoping to win it, since it was one of the few big races there she has never won. But unfortunately, I think that horse had to drop out of the race. Maybe next year!

The OJ criminal verdict was a straight up “Not Guilty.” Since MB’s verdict was NGI, it could be that the “insanity” part could indemnify him from a civil award. (Is “indemnify” the right word to use in this sense?)

Again, IANAL, so I may be attaching more meaning to Judge Taylor’s comment than the law allows. It would be interesting to know for sure.

I don’t believe the criminal trial is supposed to have any bearing on the civil one. The jury will hear the arguments and see the evidence presented by both sides and must make up their minds based on that.

[MHM]

Somebody got those ponies VERY white. Feathers and all!

swoon…

[eggbutt]

Hahaha! I thought you meant LK had been out and about with her ponies!

[Danvers]

so freeking cute!

Isn’t it a little odd that no one took a screen shot of the supposed post where LK stated she had a Ruger or two?

I’m hundreds of posts behind but oh well.
I see hundreds of posts a day on SM, I have zero screenshots. Also, time and place. I would have to be cruising through LK’s posts at the right time to even see the posts. And lastly, why would I care to screenshot a post where someone says they have 2 guns or a certain make? Outside of seeing the trial way after the post’s supposed creation, I’d have no indication that her stating she owned a certain gun would warrant my first ever screen shot of a random LK post, because why would owning a certain make of gun matter to any normal person?

The fact you can’t see this is odd.

@eggbutt

Oh, heavens, no!

Or at least, I don’t know anything about it. I don’t think she’s been featured in Harper’s Bazaar for it, anyway.

Also odd: Failure to acknowledge multiple screen shots of other people who saw that Ruger post too.

I’m also fascinated by the anti-MHG narrative some posters seem to have. Is this narrative based on anything, literally anything, remotely factual? Why is this unpopular opinion popular amongst a small group of allegedly unaffiliated people?

The only origin for the anti MHG stuff is from LK.

V-ger. Made by the Creator.

And Tribbles loved the Quadrotriticale from Sherman’s Planet.

Though… I just remembered. There is one Earth man who doesn’t remind me of a Regulan bloodworm. That’s Kirk. A Regulan bloodworm is soft, and shapeless. But Kirk isn’t soft. Kirk may be a swaggering, overbearing, tin-plated dictator with delusions of godhood. But he’s not soft.

My girlfriend in the 90’s raised 5 kids, and her husband got her a Voyager mini-van, and the kids picked off the letters “oya” and they call their car “V-ger”.

I too am aghasted - I attempted to address this, and of course CurrentlyHorseless had no answer.

@CurrentlyHorseless

MHGs role in the events puts her in an unflattering light, that’s the natural consequence of her decision

You, know, you need to just sit down and stop perpetuating the victimization of the people Lauren Kanarek has pathologically set out to destroy. Who are you to make snide nasty comments about Mary Haskins Gray, who is by all accounts a kind, talented dedicated athlete and trainer? Your bad mouthing the people Lauren terrorized is uncalled for, and your smug attempts to further Lauren’s completely neurotic smear campaign against MGH are as pathetic as Lauren’s, and more so because you don’t even have any connections to the people who worked so hard to make the farm and his business a success.

You can’t even get your facts straight timeline-wise about Mary Haskins Gray, or about MBs personal life, or his divorce, yet you glibly draw conclusions about his life you have no connection to, nor knowledge of, which have no substance other than to smear people you could never hope to know in real life. Just stop it. You don’t know what you are talking about and you sound like a minion sent here by a seriously emotionally sick person who told the court she was going to ruin Mary Haskins Gray’s life. You don’t know her, and you don’t know what happened, so just stop.

Edited for clarity

She doesn’t know MHG or MB or any of the people in the matter, and touts wildly inacurate ideas a bout them. None of the “pod” of performers do, so who are they to say ruinious things about Mary Haskins Gray or Michael Barisone?

Regarding how much OJ has paid of his civil suit loss:

Per Fred Goldman OJ has paid $132,000 of the original 33 million settlement. Due to interest added over the years, he now owes 70 million.
