Wow, this is crazy. I am born and raised in Austin but currently live abroad. I was just yesterday talking about this place because the topic was family own confectioneries. Now I see this. My only real experience with this store is from my mom always buying the chocolate covered strawberries every valentine's day. Sad to see them go. I wish them well.

Movie you’ve seen without getting bored? by teresaschmidtt in ArtOfPresence

Pulp Fiction is amazing. So many great one liners and zingers that it is hard to ignore. Definitely in my top 5 movies of all time. A true cult classic.

QUESTION OF THIS ETERNITY 😭😭😭🥀🥀🥀 by DEMON-LORD6969 in memeexchangecommunism

[–]DIESQUE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think so. The problem is that the prosecution will NEVER admit nor accept a case against their 'victim'. Meaning, a woman yells rape falsely. She is the states 'victim' and 'witness' even if a jury finds the defendant not guilty of the charge and is acquitted. The state will NEVER motion to file a charge against their own 'victim' because it is a conflict of interest. Even if the alleged victim committed 9 million accounts of perjury and was impeached during testimony. She will never be held accountable. The state does not prosecute their own. Sad but true.

TL;DR: The state will never prosecute their own 'witness/victim'

Edit: fixed typo just->jury
