That con was pretty credible to people who do Hollywood (which is who it aimed at). A business associate of mine who does the Storage Wars thing once acquired 40-some 4-drawer file cabinets which contained contracts to sell the rights of movies you've never heard of (but real) for distribution in east Asia. I looked through a few hundred of them and none was for less than $100K and most for a lot more. There was easily half a billion involved.

"Some states, like New Mexico, are already increasing funding for protection of state and local courts, citing increased threats."

They could hire Apache guards. I'm from New Mexico, where, if Apaches offer to take you on a picnic, it means you have seriously fucked up, and are in danger of finding out certain things.

"Most people do not like confrontation. I know I don't. And so the bullies 'win' a lot."

This is the problem right here. See, I fucking LOVE confrontation. Ever since I was a teen in bad NYC neighborhoods, I have walked around basically hoping that someone will fuck with me so that I can work out some rage issues on them.

And, dontcha know, no one confronts me. I've been waiting two years now for some Rogan-ass motherfucker to come at me about my mask and it hasn't happened.

Bullies can sense when they'll get pushback and when you are ready, willing and downright eager to push back, they will leave you the fuck alone....

I thought he was a true believer. I mean, the sh*t he argued on behalf of that dummy just seems like things only a real sycophantic follower would argue. But maybe going to prison (with a bunch of people he probably helped put away in his saner years as DA or whatever he was) is a bridge too far?

While I agree ... I also believe there are a lot of people in prison for DWB.

That's right. I don't let anger take me -- it already happened to them and look how it turned out. As far a brutally murdering anyone, I'm afraid the MSM has sold you a bill of goods. We'll settle eventually, violent or not. I just don't want to live with poison in my soul in the meantime. And it's a shame you can't find a better way to express yourself; who was the Prince of Peace again?

That is one butt-ugly building, that Bryant Annex. Probably designed by the architectural firm of Stickem, Together and Pray, LLC.

A small, purely amoral corner of my mind can almost admire the masterful way Putin has played a weaker hand against a stronger foe.

Almost.
