Where’s that lunge line image when we need it?

This one?

@erinmeri

What’s so strange about your assertions is that I, and others, HAVE expressed empathy for LK. I, and others, DO hold minority opinions to this day (I, for one, don’t know who shot LK). And yet I don’t feel persecuted for expressing empathy or outlining a minority opinion. I think that may be because, 1) I don’t attack others, and 2) I can see nuance, and 3) I don’t take a monolithic POV, and 4) I don’t belabor my point, and 5) I don’t think that discussing someone’s (very public) bad behavior constitutes “bashing”, “bullying”, “trashing” or “[insert infamatory label here]”. YMMV.

6. Not [publicly] flouncing.

@Sdel

Not flouncing.

I prefer to make my flounces private.

[Sdel]

Fixed it

As an add-on to my PSA regarding Crumbl and free cookies – I was visiting Lexington, KY, not Lexington, VA. I am thinking maybe at newly opened shops, cookies are free only after everyone that works at the shop are sick of them and have tons in their freezers at home. Just a thought. . .

Omg. I cannot even imagine working there. Lol.

Not [publicly] flouncing.

Wait…

I had forgotten about that.

I thought someone “left”.

Something to add to list for when they demand proof.

Edit to add random quotes and bolding.

@eggbutt

Ok, maybe even the National Enquirer gets it right once in a while. Broken clock, and all that. Lol.

That first motion GAS filed mentions LK paying $5,000-6,000 a month in board. How did I miss that? Since when was she paying more than $5,000?

That statement is so lacking in context it’s ridiculous, given the number of horses involved and what the cost of board should have been under the circumstances, given the facility and level of training available.

Ya think?!?

[ohnoO]

@ekat

I don’t think we can assume anything yet. They have a timeline in which to respond, which I don’t know for sure what that is in NJ, but I would guess 5-10 days.

Wait, isn’t the 17th Thursday?

[2tempe]

Re the civil suit: If I were a plaintiff who thought I had 1/2 a chance at winning anything, I would be banging on lawyer doors to get my deposition done and this whole thing moving along. I would be whooping my parents into submission re subpoenas. Truly believe I will get my century ride done before this is concluded (4 years)

Now please someone send a good cake donut (or several) my way.

@CurrentlyHorseless

Your narrative that literally no one could express empathy for LK and push back on the bashing and hate unless they are associated with her in some way is incorrect.

Ask me how I know.

The flaw in your argument is that you’re inserting something into the post you’re quoting that does not exist. You’re creating a false narrative. Stating that thousands who watched the trial reached a conclusion that you do not like does not mean that nobody can express a different opinion. It’s fact that most people reached said conclusion. AND… It does mean that it makes those with that “minority opinion” look suspiciously like Kanareks and Kanarek associates. Logically speaking, of course. But you get that, right? Your outrage is designed to inflame?

[roseymare]

Where is the shop at in Lexington? I couldn’t find it on the website. Gotta get my plans in for my summer trip.

[SoCoPony]

or a broom to chase off the racoons…

[erinmeri]

@CurrentlyHorseless

didn’t say I “think” your narrative is wrong.

I said I know it’s wrong. I have a counterexample. Me.

Lolz. If that’s true, then why are you in the minority? It’s a head scratcher…

[MHM]

@eggbutt

the reason for the subpoenas is because it is known the Kanareks falsified the damning information given to SS, etc, and

Note the correct use of “damning” rather than “damming.” Lol.

I will say I became much more sympathetic to typos once I started using the voice to text feature on my phone. But I would certainly hope it would be caught before it got filed in a legal document.

[ekat]

@ohnoO

Wait, isn’t the 17th Thursday?

Isn’t it Friday? Maybe it’s five days to respond then, which would be Tuesday.

[Angela_Freda]

@hut-ho78

My speculation is not only does the defense have everything, it not only matches, it hurts the defense case; therefore, the defense is harassing the Kanareks and trying to create illusions to hide the negative impact this will all have on MB’s defense when it is released to the public.

Then the Ks would be hustling to share it.

You mean, like the whole Michael Goodwin thing?

@Knights_Mom

It is actually law that mandates the prosecution reveal any exculpatory evidence that comes up which would vindicate the defendant

True, but it does not always happen. Ref: Mike Nifong’s disbarment for failing to disclose exculpatory evidence
https://scholarship.law.duke.edu/faculty_scholarship/1834/

The reversal of nine North Carolina capital cases in the last decade, since open-file discovery was mandated for capital post-conviction litigation, demonstrates the ineffectiveness of solely relying on voluntary Brady disclosures, even when the consequence of an unjust conviction would be execution.

Yes but note quite the price was paid for defiance of the law.

I worked at a place that served pizza and couldn’t eat it again for YEARS due to the smell.

Eating to satiation leads to aversion even more effectively than smell.
