Seriously, that guy looks like he'd have a hard time coming up with 10% of $5000 bail. Nothing like a little overkill so you look like you're doing your job up there on the bench. Damn, they hand out $1 million bond for a purse snatching? Equal to the amount George Zimmerman (sorry to bring that name up again) got for KILLING someone. While swiping a purse is a scummy thing to do, how on earth did they arrive at such a high amount for bond in this case? Racism is still well and alive in America.

Meanwhile, in other news, there has been a shooting at Texas A&M. Multiple victims, gunman apprehended. D'oh, this darn gun issue just will not go away dammit. "Only" three dead, though, so it's not even the top news story on most sites.

MJ is one cut-throat mofo. I had the "pleasure" of working for the attorney that represented his new wife at the time in the postnup negotiations between the two.
As is common knowledge, he knocked her up, married her, and then they agreed to hire their own attorneys to draft the terms of child/spousal support moving forward.
I've seen divorce cases where firearms were involved that were more cordial than MJ was toward someone he was married to at the time. It was easily the most hotly-contested legal negotiation I ever witnessed during my time working for one of the most prominent divorce attorneys in the country at the time.

Seriously, this is not another example of needing harsher gun laws.

I could easily imagine someone else hearing that gunshot, pulling out their concealed weapon, and killing someone.

I could easily imagine him sitting down next to a pregnant woman and that gun shooting her instead.
or a child....
or your sister......
And what's with him simply leaving the theater, wasting more taxpayer money and valuable EMT time?
I mean seriously? When are we going to wise up and figure how much guns actually COST the American public?

So he's a former partner with those I work for and though I never met him personally I've been told he is a man's man, if you know what I mean? (no NOT GAY) VERY measured, controlled, self assured, treats everyone around him like a servant. Women are good for one thing sort of shit. Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

The whole speech is a candid "man's man" speech in front of his teammates, coaches, peers, rivals. At the 20-minute mark is where some insight into the real Michael Jordan comes in.
He was playing baseball in the White Sox organization at the time, and some also-ran basketball player by the name of Bryan Russell came over and asked him why he gave up basketball, then went on to say "You know I can guard you. If I ever see you in a pair of shorts, I will shut you down."
Years later, Jordan comes back to basketball and plays against Utah. As the players circle around ready to start the game, Jordan sees Russell next to him and reminds him of what he said years earlier. Jordan then goes on to explain how he used the taunt of a complete no-name player to anger him and motivate him to greatness. See, he doesn't just want to show up his felloe greats, he will think nothing of stomping on those who are two or three rungs below him too if it'll give him the juice he needs to excel.
You can see the audience wince upon seeing the joy a guy like Jordan took from grinding a nobody into dust and talking about it in his Hall of Fame speech.

It just astounds me the entitlement these politicians have to not only believe anything that pops into their little heads, but to say it out loud. For every one that does, there are ten or more who think equally stupid shit, but are at least smart enough to keep their trap shut, or lie outright.
What do you wanna bet this guy still wins? It's like that whole Chik-Fil-A thing where, in the end, you get the idea that it benefited the restaurant more than it did anybody else.
Hell in a handbasket, people.

Missouri is one of the worst states when it comes to abortion rights, so unfortunately I don't know how bad this does or doesn't hurt this guy's chances.

It just reminds you how freaking STUPID people in some parts of the country are allowed to be. Seriously, there really should be an IQ test to vote, but there should ALSO be one to run for office.
At the very least, I'd like to see this guy elaborate more on the science that supports what he believes.

Yeah, well the heat is on, if he doesn't step down from the race, the GOP may do it for him. Unfuckingbelievable, him back peddaling this morning and last night on air. I kept thinking about what Darren said above, if you don't know the facts, shut the fuck up. But no, this guy just blathers on and on and on. Calling it a "foot in the mouth". More like a head up the fanny (as my pops would say), obviously he's dumb enough to believe this shit, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy to roll off the toungue. Yeah you made a mistake alright, you showed the world how ignorant and mean you really are. Fuck face. (sorry - rant over- I just love MEN telling women all about fucking rape, incest, abuse, baby making, etc, go fuck yourselves already, you dont know shit.) (rant really over )
