Michael Barisone/Lauren Kanarek Civil Suit

I love a good conspiracy theory, so I can’t wait to hear about the ones about the comments on YouTube :joy:

There are some comments in there that are accurate, IMO, and sum things up well. I do believe that many of the users commenting have not read nor heard of COTH. YouTube and the creator of that video have a whole separate crowd/audience, so it’s interesting to here some perspectives that are (believe it or not) not from COTH.

There are some little instances where I did give the K’s the benefit of the doubt, and in some instances I can still see the how and why behind things, and I do recognize LK has the victim of a shooting. As a YT commenter similarly stated, and as I’ve been saying all along, being a victim doesn’t absolve you of your sh*tty actions though.

You can be or do wrong as a victim. Pointing that out isn’t “bashing” anyone, if it’s just the facts.

I’m sort of at the point where I think that it’s absolutely disgusting to defend some of LK’s behaviors and side with or stand with the K’s. It just says a lot about your character when you support those types, basically. I’m no staunch MB supporter either.

At the end of the day though, I do feel bad for all involved, including LK & Co. You’re either not wired right or have had things happen to you that have made you that way. The fact that some feel that some of the behaviors or people involved in this are acceptable is astonishing to me. There are some hills I’d die on, but to die on a hill for the K’s…no thank you, and why?!

I don’t know them and I’m not that dedicated to the cause. So no cookie or gold stars for me.

Also “beauty” and what and/or who “pretty” is so, so, subjective.

I have not watched the video…just scrolling the comments. It is clear the video left out a few things: namely the eviction and the recordings.

While that may be true, it doesn’t absolve you from responsibility for your actions.

Ooooh - I loved Discovery. Took a few episodes… but then I was hooked. Strange New Worlds is good. I got into Picard and those two when I was recovering from 3 different surgeries… when I was not giving myself anxiety from watching 1883 and Yellowstone.

I had never been much into streaming shows before my recovery - but it helped me through that long recovery and endless sleepless nights. But now I have a deep-seated distrust of train stations… :fearful:

The video left out quite a few things, and also asserted some things as facts that were never proven by the evidence.

Agreed.

Did you read the rest of my post where I basically said that and have been saying that for ages?

I can’t get past the forced, preachy dialogue.

It wasn’t as bad at the beginning. It’s almost intolerable now.

Yes.

I skimmed through the video a bit, and now I just feel depressed and saddened. It is all so incredibly sad.

I’m still weirded out by the 9/11 call when she was shot. There’s just something that doesn’t sit right with me about that and the “main event”… I don’t think it quite went down as described, but I wasn’t there so I know nothing. Just have some “feeling” that usually isn’t wrong but could be wrong!

Edit: As usual I’m fine with being wrong. These are just my personal thoughts that are basically worth the paper that they’re written on.

If I seem illiterate it’s because I’m quickly typing on a phone.

I had not actually listened to all the 911 calls until I watched the video. Only the one following the shooting.

But there seemed to be a huge contrast between the two calls LK made to 911. She sounded much more clear and on point in the one following the shooting.

That certainly struck me as sort of odd. Who would be more levelheaded under those circumstances??

I believe the terms that you may be searching for are:

“Dodgy” and “Rehearsed”

But I am just a horse of course.

Well, I certainly haven’t been very shy in what I think is weird about that call and why I think it is off……

Her composure seems odd indeed, especially in light of her characteristic unhinged rants. Almost as if scripted.

It is entirely possible that the unhinged rants are scripted to add psychological emphasis to the threats, SM bullying, and air of being a “dangerous badass”….

I mean, I have found myself to he completely composed during times of great stress and/or when I’ve experienced a great tragedy or trauma. It is a “thing” for some people. But…

I have enjoyed them all and have a special fondness for Star Trek: Enterprise. We’re watching Picard now and playing “do you recognize the actors (and from where)?” Including recognizing actors from other shows entirely!

I’m simply amazed by this latest thread.

I never thought that it was possible for anyone in this world to be more devoted to a person, idea, or cause than I have been to Buttercup. But I clearly underestimated the loyalty of sealions and their willingness to swim in circles for the bits of rotten fish that some have to offer.

I’m also astounded to see the imposter swordsman turn up here again. I’d have thought that when the world discovered that he was not the noble justice-seeker he pretended to be, but rather some small-minded old New Jersey man with swordsmanship training, but who never actually practiced the blade, that he’d be inclined to stay away and forego further self-induced public humiliation. I see I overestimated him.

I do hope there will be news on the civil case motions soon. All the longeing that’s happening in the meantime can’t be good for anyone’s joints.

I may have a bad eye but my ears are perfectly fine.

“He fired two shots”
“I have been shot twice”
Not 3 shots, two. Just like what little evidence the MCPD found two bullet casings not three.

I believe it’s at 22:10 (around when she says I’ve been shot twice) listen to Rosie. Could this be a sound of jumping up and landing and scratching on a surface, while barking. The barking that has alot of echo to it, as if it’s inside not outside. Almost as if the dog was inside the house, jumping up and down at the door.

But I am only a horse of course.

If only that video would turn up!
