Oh dear. I quickly listened to the podcast and skimmed the transcript…get ready for backlash from the Dynamic Deflection Duo about almost everything these three uneducated, inexperienced, psychological wannabe “experts” had to chatter about. I especially cackled when they described the missing casings as not really being missing but only camouflaged since the little gun was pink cammo! They also discussed the discrepancies of the recordings and VIDEO!

They expounded on her having plenty of opportunity to do the right thing but she chose the wrong thing time and time again.
They also discussed no one deserves to be shot but you have to take responsibility for your actions that lead to the shooting.
Doesn’t look promising for the civil trial.

No it doesn’t and hasn’t from 2019! I doubt the Kanareks have ever been in this type of deeply serious situation all due to their misreading the situation for years. Bullies, predators, narcissists, all of them.

No, it dissolved in the soapy rain.

Don’t forget that they would have also dissolved in the “soapy” NJ rain.

I still hold USEF/SS complicit in refusing to act on multiple reports against Lauren for several years prior to August 2019. That they are STILL sitting back and doing nothing through either SafeSport or USEF Code of Conduct is infuriating. The presumed excuse that they are awaiting the outcome of the civil trials is ludicrous if true. The outcome of the civil trials will not negate all that this predator has purposely done to others for fun for years.

It was interesting to see how they viewed certain statements as not likely to be truthful.

Ignore function.

Yes! For the love of all things holy, let’s all please use either the ignore function or “force of will” (or BOTH) moving forward! The mods did us a favor by giving this thread some time to simmer down. Please don’t let it go back to the days of yore!

I apologize. I was bowling with The Dude and the real Inigo when the thread was closed a couple of days ago, so I missed this. The Dude had a few things to say about cases of mistaken identity, such as Inigo’s name being used on this forum for untoward actions. But as always, The Dude abides and I think the real Inigo will as well.
Regarding damsels, it turns out they never existed. Just ask Buttercup – she’ll tell you that any lady who can survive the fire swamp, endure the political machinations of a corrupt family, and ride over fences in a sidesaddle is no damsel. You might have heard of Ryan and Cummerbund, but did you know that before them the DPR title was worn by a magnificent buccaneer named Siobhan? That salty, darling old lady would have you know that no matter how someone bats their caterpillar-like false eyelashes, they are no more a damsel than a tarp near the arena is a horse-eating monster or a piece of driftwood is the creature of Loch Ness. I wouldn’t have time to look after helpless ladies between the farm boy life and sailing the open seas, anyhow.
As for bathrobes, it’s a bit of a foreign concept to a pirate who spends all his time ashore doing farmboy chores. A black bandana covered in hay dust is more my speed. But where robes are concerned, I have been served well by a good holocaust cloak. A fuzzier version of that might be just the ticket for elderly moments of illegal horse forum conversation below decks when stormy seas force us into port.

My mare will have you know that such assertions are heresy! She subscribes to the same theories as these equines:

Perhaps, then, my own riding mare is the damsel in my life. She would undoubtedly agree with all of the contestants about eel-infested acid death traps. We made over-fence introductions with a mini donk this weekend, and said mare most certainly considered herself a damsel threatened by an unholy ROUS-dragon hybrid that transformed into Satan himself when he brayed.

For the full effect, I think it’s important to read the transcript.
I learned lots of things, for example,
-
They’re speculating that serious dressage enthusiasts can probably tell the difference between a horse that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and one that costs thirteen hundred dollars.
-
Horses are dangerous, but not as dangerous as rabid wolves.
-
Danger from horses arises when the horse rolls over on the rider, due to the “crushing” and “dying” involved therein.
-
Mounted police officers ride Clydesdales.
All in all, it was quite hilarious.

My mare concurs that miniature equids are to be feared! The best day of her life was when the mini left the farm! (Although she maintains that anything small is suspect, and that cats are vital threats, as are yellow labs and deer. She cannot be convinced otherwise.)

My damsel mare has always had a strange affinity for all sorts of canines and felines (sometimes to our detriment when we hack the trails and encounter specimens from the zoo of death off leash and unattended by their handlers). But rodents of any size were once terrifying – it took a few years of odd environmental conditions and rabbit overpopulation here in Florin for her to realize that bunniculas do not feast on horses. I only hope that the same realization dawns soon regarding the little equid intruders.

The only small things that The Yellow Marvel has deemed safe and thus not a product of the fire swamp are foals. She may yet be redeemed.

I have bunniculas on one of my feet. Fuzzy slippers are a must.
