Yup. When that motormouth was mugging for the camera, I visualized her lawyers watching the tube, going "Yeah! Go, man, go! Keep talking!" -- and, the prosectors gritting their teeth and fumbling around for the Tums.
Can you say "grounds for appeal"?
I knew you could. :)
Say isn't New York the city where you go to jail for defending yourself?
Only if you're successful at it. Otherwise they wring their hands and go boohoo what a tragedy we must have more gun control.
Towards the end of the Dinkums regime (yes, I spelled it like that on purpose), there was a particularly brutal knifing. The next day, there was Dinky, ranting and raving about how that proved the need for more gun control. (I'd been long gone from "da sitty", but his "yes, you can fail an IQ test" moment made the national news.)
So much for the "two-synapse" theory of electability. (for the voters or the candidate)
I bailed out of the Bad Apple in the early '70s. I figured I was born there, I grew up there, and I was outta there. It's got some plusses, sure. Nice museums, some sights to see, some good food (I still miss softshell clams and fresh flounder, and real pizza, you just can't get it anywhere else), but when it comes down to it, it's a nice place to leave, but I wouldn't want to visit there.
Here, I have fresh air, elbow room, a hundred year old barn, and a .45 on my hip without it making me a criminal. And a house with five acres -- with the barn, and a pond -- that cost less than a year's rent for an upscale noo yawk apartment.
LOL I lived in the Bronx for a couple of years when Lindsey was mayor. I gotta say it is one place that I would never move back to. (But for any New Yorkers reading this) DON'T LEAVE! IT'S WONDERFUL THERE. You wouldn't like it outside "the city" Too much freedom, and too low a cost of living. You wouldn't know what to do with all of your left over money. If you love NY - stay there.
So sorry, you're wrong once again; that's NOT grounds for appeal in this case. It can only be a mistake the judge made.
And if you two are envious of a lying, low class woman, go ahead, make her your role model.
