In a United States Tax Court decision announced on Wednesday, the court dismissed attorney client privilege, stating that: "When a person puts into issue his subjective intent in deciding how to comply with the law, he may forfeit the privilege afforded attorney-client communications."

This sack of shit Cliven Bundy... Goddamn it. I just really started reading about this today.
What a fuck up.
Active Member
Bundy is a fucking idiot. He "doesn't recognize the federal government but respects the state law" even though his own state's constitution recognize federal power.
I'm laughing at all the people who support him in the name of "states rights." This just sealed the deal:

"I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro ... They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I've often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn't get no more freedom. They got less freedom."

Yeah... He's sure a fuckin' patriot.
Ugh. I hate when I actually get upset reading shit.

This one probably won't get coverage but hooooooly fuck is this guy out there. No wonder Alex Jones was latching on to this guy.
(apologies in advance for linking to Glenn Beck, i absolutely hate the guy)
first video on this page goes into the story Bundy was telling about how God told him to destroy federal property and other insane shit.

Is any of this an actual quote? I've never heard of the guy before but he sounds just as awful as that other Bundy guy that made the news a few years back...

The U.S. Navy announces that they believe they can turn seawater in to fuel.
This is a giant announcement, and it's entirely unsurprising that corporate media is ignoring it...sigh, I also assume it'll get legislated in to the dirt as well.

Yup, word for word. Sadly, much of the left decided not to talk about this guy until the racist bullshit started.
http://www.nationaljournal.com/polit...cause-20140424
And to be fair, when you hear the full thing in context (especially in the video of him saying it) it doesn't come off QUITE as racist as the standalone quote.. but still

Pretty sure I actually saw this first via the BBC. But it's entirely possible that I remember that wrong.

And yet, PETA's response does make sense:
[x]PETA expressed its disagreement with the findings in a statement this week: 'PETA's shelter took in and euthanized 1,805 elderly, feral, sick, dying, aggressive, and otherwise unadoptable animals—more than 400 of whom were brought to PETA by loving but destitute guardians desperate to alleviate their beloved animals' suffering, and many others who had been turned away by local so-called "no-kill" facilities that reject unadoptable animals in order to keep their euthanasia statistics appealing.'
Also: perspective, please. There are worthier recipients to your hate. Though I suppose dead Somali fishermen are not as cute as kittens and rabbits.

Michael Alig, 'club kid' who was convicted of manslaughter (see: Party Monster) is now a free man.
Also interesting, the letter written by James St. James to Michael, catching him up on what he's missed.
tempus est umbra in mente
so I've finally started watching Party Monster since this news is making the rounds. This movie... sucks. I'm not sure what the worst part is, but goddamn is the acting bad. Especially Culkin.

I still don't understand what is so important about this fellow.

Some weird fucker shot up Santa Barbra. He is like an aspergers version of Patrick Bateman.
Reddit's /r/cringe posted one of his videos 4 days earlier because of how damn creepy he is: http://www.reddit.com/r/cringe/comme...er_give_him_a/
His whole youtube channel is creepy https://www.youtube.com/user/ElliotR...rt=p&flow=list Just constantly talking about how he is the perfect guy but cant figure out why girls don't like him.

That is all over the news over here. Very sad. Obviously mentally ill.
Active Member
Very. He was even under active treatment for mental illness. His parents knew there were serious issues and even called the cops within the last few weeks (they evaluated him and said he was fine).
As always, it's not even been 24hrs and you have everyone trying to leverage it for their personal desires... gun rights and gun control (as always), but even people attempting to prove that this is connected to the Pick Up Artists, men's rights advocates, rape culture, etc etc. The self-serving opportunistic bullshit is just revolting.
Throbbing Member
...But it pretty clearly is? It's obvious he had some terrible attitudes towards women. Not all misogynists will become violent but to act like there wasn't a misogynist dimension to this crime is being wilfully ignorant. Discussion of serious and ongoing problems like misogyny and rape culture is only 'self-serving' from the angle that the entirety of humankind will be benefit from eradicating that shit.
Throbbing Member
Also, though I refer this one with the caveat that it is DailyKOS and taps guilt-by-association, http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/0...ights-Movement
I don't think drawing the connection between him and the PUA/MRA/rape culture stuff is out of line even if it isn't exactly a smoking gun.

Everything about this scenario is sad - either in the "tragic" sense or the "pathetic" sense. The former referring to anyone being so ill that this is how they respond to rejection, and the latter to the people who are screaming expletives and saying that "if he'd just hired us to coach him, no one would be dead".
This whole thing hits disturbingly close to home, as I find myself to be a good guy - who no one seems to have any interest in dating. So in that regard alone, the shooter has my sympathy. Being single when you don't want to be is tougher than a lot of people realize, especially when you're constantly surrounded by people rubbing it in your face (i.e. PDAs everywhere you turn). But let's be clear: I absolutely do not condone anything that he did, nor do I agree with even the slightest bit of "I'll show them what they're missing." If he truly was a "good guy" or whatever his exact words were - and I won't speculate on that at all since I don't know anything about him - then his reasoning that this would change his situation was so severely flawed that I can't even find the right words for it. Personally, my way of dealing with rejection is to just continue keeping to myself, working on improving myself for the benefit of my own mental and physical well being, and hoping that maybe that spills over into someone else's life someday.
What makes this story even harder to read is that it sounds like he was getting professional help. People who loved him knew that something was wrong, and an active support network was in place. But apparently it wasn't enough. And now, seven lives are over with far too soon, and dozens more have been permanently altered for the worst.

The whole PUA/Game anti PUA thing is horrible.

Swap out "video games" or "Muslim faith" or "gun culture" into exactly what you said and it's all the same. The only commonality in all the multi public killings is that some mentally fucked up individual who held a lot of resentment for the world gravitated toward these things as a way to relieve the pain and ultimately enable/justify their actions.
No matter how much you dislike one of those things, a single person doing something like this doesn't give you reason to make it about that. PUA is gross, but it's even more gross to leverage these killings to attack it. It's no different than when assholes attack other cultures that they disagree with when past killings happened.

How is calling out misogyny "even more gross" than misogyny itself? PUA/MRA/redpill/whateverthefuck is all based on misogyny. The video games/religion comparison doesn't work because they're extremely broad, subjective categories that have different effects (positive or negative) on different people. Misogyny is objectively harmful in any form, for any person.
Just like the white supremacist who shot up the Sikh temple was obviously motivated by racism, this guy was obviously motivated by misogyny. That's more of a 1:1 comparison.
Edit: https://medium.com/the-archipelago/1bb065f76278 puts it pretty well.
