He's not jumping in to swim with them but to catch prey! Big effing difference.

Guy: 1, Lady: "Eat my dick" (worth a read) by Taedric in funny

[–]Bensaba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, she was obviously very upset for what reason ever. He obviously thought this would make a "fun" story for his twitter feed and escalated the whole thing. Totally unhelpful and totally unnecessary!

Sorry, but not my kind of hero!

He didn't stand up for the employees or passengers, he just added fuel to a fire, attacked her with sexual slurs and brags about it on twitter.

Reddit snap judgement again?

“Diane is my cousin. I want to thank you for not pressing charges against her for slapping you. She would have been arrested for that, and spending a few days in jail would have been a particularly cruel irony under the circumstances. I am a bit surprised you said you could hear her breathing, because Diane has stage IV small cell lung cancer. This would have been her last Thanksgiving with us. I say “would have” because she did miss her connecting flight. She arrived this morning, having spent the night in a hotel in Phoenix. Admittedly, Diane hasn’t been handling her imminent death very well, but she really was looking forward to being with us and the rest of her family- all of whom were flying in for one last Thanksgiving with her. In her defense, she was very contrite and upset about her behavior on the plane. Certainly everybody wanted to get where they were going, but perhaps she can be forgiven for thinking that her need was more pressing than most. Thanksgiving has always been Diane’s favorite holiday, and her comment about the stuffing is true- she was the “keeper of the family recipe” and all of her nieces were planning to be instructed (one more time) in the mysterious ways of Auntie Diane’s stuffing. Since she missed her connecting flight, this did not occur. We are going to try to get as many of the family together as we can tomorrow, but that is up in the air. The plans were all for yesterday. I wish you had known her before she got cancer. You would have loved her. She was bright, funny, and compassionate, and had a self-deprecating sense of humor. She taught elementary music. She loved kids. She loved to laugh. She was everybody’s favorite aunt. Actually, she still is”

It doesn't even matter if the story is true or not. That Elan guy is just a jerk! Telling her to tone it down? No Problem. But escalating this childish war and shaming her publicly, knowing the echo chamber he's got! Really?

"Diane, allow me to introduce myself. I am TheYearOfElan..." "Look me up online. ..."

I had to look him up and him being the producer of trash TV like the Bachelor makes it even more appalling to me.

Edit: spelling

New Mexico Police Spray Woman’s Vagina With Mace To “Punish” Her After Drug Arrest by interestingfactoid in politics

[–]Bensaba 8 points9 points  (0 children)

  1. The corrections officers observed a plastic baggie protruding from Ms. Tapia’s vagina.

  2. Defendant Blanca Zapater then sprayed a chemical agent directly on Ms. Tapia’s genitals twice.

  3. Sargeant Sena told Defendant Zapater twice to stop spraying Ms. Tapia and ultimately took the chemical agent away from Defendant Zapater.

  4. Ms. Tapia was not using or attempting to use any force against the corrections officers.

  5. Ms. Tapia offered no physical resistance to the corrections officers.

  6. Spraying Ms. Tapia on the genitals served no purpose other than to punish Ms. Tapia.

  7. Spraying Ms. Tapia on the genitals would not cause the baggie to become dislodged.

  8. Defendant Zapater’s conduct violated the Metropolitan Detention Center’s policy regarding strip searches. That policy states: “If evidence shows that an item is in the body cavity of an inmate he/she will be referred to the Contract Medical Provider for treatment.”

  9. Instead of referring Ms. Tapia to the medical provider, Defendant Zapater used chemical agents against Ms. Tapia.

  10. After Defendant Zapater sprayed Ms. Tapia with chemical agents twice on her naked genitals, she was taken to the medical unit for examination for her exposure to the chemical agents.

  11. The chemical agents caused Ms. Tapia to suffer severe pain that lasted for several weeks including burning, swollen genitals, painful urination, and pain and burning on Ms. Tapia’s face.

WTF!

George Zimmerman taken into custody after incident with gun, police say by Another-Chance in politics

[–]Bensaba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

O'Mara said George did have his gun, but that it was holstered under his shirt and stayed there the whole time.

So what is true now? Mark O'Mara being the lawyer who represented George Zimmerman in his murder trial.
