It (Mercury is nongender) will be back in December. Gird your loins!
Another poster put it up - post #8881, Domino and Pie. It is probably the funniest horse vide ever. be sure to have the sound on!!
Watching the Dr Grande latest YT, it is apparent there are very few, if any, who bought JK/IM’s and Nagel’s schtick. I can’t imagine how the Kanareks are going to spin Lauren’s behavior before and after the shooting. She and RG are simply not believable. They can at least save some legal fees (maybe) if they drop their suits…but then again, I guess they will have to spend $$ to defend against the counter suits. What a very deep hole they managed to dig!
Please remind me, was MB not “allowed” to plead straight NG? I know the “most honorable judge” Taylor wouldn’t allow a self defense, because he said there was no evidence to support it. Never mind there was no forensic evidence to support a guilty shooting verdict.
It still disturbs and angers me that Taylor was allowed to insert his obvious bias to both the trial and now to MB’s release. Is the reason Balinkas is not appealing because he did get the not guilty by reason of insanity? Is there nothing to be done to correct this miss service of justice?
And please, everyone, stop responding to two posters who keep needling you all. You are doing exactly what they want.
Yes. And it worked on the charges against RG.
You can’t appeal an acquittal and truly that’s what the verdicts were.
Given that he plead NGRI and NG by reason of self defense, he could not also plead straight NG.
However, the jury could have found him straight NG on all four counts. Indeed, if the jury have determined that that the prosecutor had failed to make his case on all elements other than intent, the jury would have come back with straight NG on all counts.
Taylor did not permit Bilinkas to argue a self defense theory to the jury because Bilinkas had not provided any evidence that it was self defense.
Bilinkas cannot appeal the NGRI verdict, because Barisone pled NGRI. If Barisone had thought NGRI was unjust, he could have declined to plead it and simply plead NG by reason of self defense. However, Bilinkas correctly predicted that if he had pled just NG by reason on self defense, Barisone would have been found Guilty.
Why do you imagine he pled NGRI instead of just NG by reason of self defense?
Jillsmith asked whether MB was “not ‘allowed’” to plead straight NG.
I would think the answer would be No, he could have pled straight NG.
He did not plead straight NG because he would have been convicted (found Guilty) in the two counts relating to LK.
Well, I have been following for years, and want to know if I can join the Illegal Mob. I do have a green fuzzy bathrobe, with fake fur collar and cuffs, but it is far too large. I think my daughter bought me one (probably in pink) and one for my ex D(amned)H, and he probably got the pink one that would be too small for him. I never said anything because the image of him in a too-small pink fuzzy bathrobe (with matching pink fuzzy too-small slippers, yet!) is too delicious to risk.
I do not have a basement, either, but I fulfill the elderly criterion. Sigh.
If I am voted in, I will post a photo of the green fuzzy, it is no longer available from whichever store it came from. Is that a bribe? Will I be persecuted /s?

I have not gotten all the way through the latest YouTube video yet from the three amigos, but they certainly seemed to feel that the judge was way out of line during the criminal trial, and it sounds like they have seen a lot of criminal trials.
The judge seemed out of line to me, but I have never seen another trial, so I don’t have any sort of objective standard on normal behavior for a judge.
Judging by their view count they would be on the low scale in number of views for this genre on Youtube. Just listening in now.
I don’t have a fuzzy bathrobe, but I did get a pretty satiny floral robe for bridesmaid prep stuff over the weekend, will that count?
Sure - why not? It’s not a hard rule. It’s more about the attitude than the costumes. Basements are optional too

It’s interesting to see which posters think their membership in the mob is sufficiently expressive of their identity to switch their avatar to a bathrobe.
Not everyone in the mob has chosen to put the uniform on their avatar.
I’m assuming the topic of the thread is “bathrobes and basements” at this point.

@wicky of course you can join our illegal mob! Welcome to the quest for truth to be revealed!
BTW, no basement is necessary!

Any robe counts as long as it provides minimum coverage!

First “Beetlejuice” call of the morning unless I missed one. “Don’t respond” but let’s bring them in is too obvious. Are y’all boring each other already?

There is a cork board behind Michael Smith that has some interesting post-it notes on it.
I can see a “social media assault” post-it with a line going down to “crazy horse people” and then upwards to another note “horse ballet.”
Michael Smith says at the end: "To me, the villan in this whole situation is definitely Lauren Kanarek, and there is no area where I can see she didn’t push this to the point where what happened happened. [someone else says "it’s provocation] “Right. I don’t want to say that anyone deserves to be shot, especially not shot in the chest which you can almost die, but I will say that responsibility is different from deserving, and she has the responsibility for what she did that led to those actions.”
Wish they had known about RG’s shooting gun gesture toward MB.
“I don’t want to say” but then you did. You spoke the obvious sentiment that claims to the contrary, y’all believe someone can be shot for SM trash talking. In the initial hearing the judge explained that there are laws to cover tenant eviction and they were not followed.
You can’t shoot people because they are annoying. It has to be immediate fear for life. The threat has to be proved.
You know, laws. Facts.
I love when Ozzy Man does voice overs.
