Screw parades. But gay/lesbian bars can be a hoot. No way not to meet someone interesting.

One of my best friends in the world is a dyke, so I've been in more than a few gay bars. I couldn't agree more.

I don't really like punk, but that's a cool band.

WHat do ya mean you dont really like punk ? What did you grow up listening to ?

Buddy of mine is in a wheelchair. Only handicap accessible bar in his former hometown was a gay bar.

Spacious, flavorful drinks, and no one minded that we watched the game on the tv.

Props to @DIDM for making the trip.

Classic Rock, Industrial Metal, East Coast Hip-Hop. I have a serious guilty pleasure (???) for a shit ton of new wave though, which punk is actually something of a parent genre to. A lot of it gives me nostalgic feels for times that I didn't even live in or experience.

I like a little new wave and a little east cost rap. I like Immortal technique and army of the pharaohs a lot. What I really like though is 90s punk and third wave ska. How you feel bout some ska ,dak ?

The controversial Straight Pride Parade, organized by three conservative straight men, attracted between 200 and 300 marchers but many more counter protesters, including people who identify with the anti-fascist group antifa.

They shouted "Nazi scum!" at the marchers, jeered and heckled them throughout the mile-long parade, and confronted the extraordinary number of police who worked to separate the two sides. Most of the arrests happened after the rally as police tried to disperse the crowd of counter protesters to reopen streets.

Being straight apparently makes you "Nazi scum" according to virgin low IQ antifa types.

Let's remember in War Machine's trial the judge rejected a plea agreement that the DA recommended for Mr. Machine. And I did not hear any outcries over that. I know nothing about criminal law so I have no idea how rare this is. But it obviously does happen.

Rejecting a specific plea deal is a different situation. The 2 parties will just go back and work out a new deal.

This is a judge overriding a prosecutor’s discretion with an entire day’s-docket worth of defendants. It’s way out of line; judges aren’t the executive branch and they don’t get to decide to prosecute people.

 

[San Griente]

The plea agreement is between the prosecutor and the defense, the judge is not a party to it nor beholden to it. Judges are required to make that more than clear before the plea is accepted as well. It’s not rare, really, for a judge to give a harsher or lighter sentence than is agreed upon in a plea deal. It’s totally up to the judge to give any sentence allowed within the statute.

What jurisdiction are you in? If judges got in the habit of going outside of sentences when they are specified in plea deals, the whole justice system would break down.

Who would sign a deal for X years if there were a likelihood that the Court would ignore it?

Not saying they don’t have the authority.

"Nazi scum"

Their state-sancted artwork was more like Nazis cum.

I am not an expert on this, and have far less knowledge on judicial matters than I do police matters before it gets to the courts, however, I don’t believe that the judge overstepped his bounds on this. He has a criminal complaint filed by officers, which he signed and found probable cause. Now that the prosecutor wants the charges dropped because of lack evidence does not mean he has to dismiss the case. He can arraign the defendants and it should be case by case basis. He can call for a special prosecutor to be called in.


In a related matter, i thoroughly enjoyed watching the videos from the protests as many snowflakes melted upon the hot Boston sidewalks that day.

Can he get a special prosecutor? I looked but it's super unclear at the state level. I saw some things saying the normal prosecutor had to be disqualified by a conflict of interest, which they arent.

I dont think anyways. Any special prosecutor stuff brings up reams of Mueller pages.

Ha ha. Nazis were so gay. Hitler was an obvious flamer.

Finding actual episodes of the skit are rare these days. SNL self-censoring because of SJW cancel culture.

I actually give the first two dudes in the clown outfits a pass. They're more about being Trolls who want to be free to meme, rather than straight-arrow heteros lashing out at the gays.

They're like the Jesters who want to be free.... ^queue music^......

NSDAP culture was definitely unnecessarily homoerotic. They were really into male bonding and body worship.

Those dudes were great. <45>

Actual Characters, still humorous though.



And so obvious, but they had to be far more subtle with it during the mid-1960s. The glances Dr. Quest and Race Bannon give each other in the plane with the jazzy porno soundtrack is always lolz. The custody battle decades later on Harvey Birdman was pure greatness.

Lol, my bad. Throw me some bands.

Can't side with the judge. The decision to bring a criminal case against an individual is the DA's decision, not the judiciary's.

If someone disagrees with the DA, there are tools for doing so.

If we are going to pretend that these "counter protesters" were civil and not deserving of arrest than this thread is a whole charade.

Antifa is often referred to as "counter protesters" too.

We all know what these privileged groups do to people who dont play ball.
