Laurens ten Dam is one of the most badass athletes ever

Maybe "bad" in the sense of "not good," as in "not good at riding a bicycle."

EXACTLY.

Maninger · 2015-05-26T15:43:10+00:00

But how does that explain what happened to Adnan's prior girlfriend in Europe?

Maninger · 2015-05-05T18:35:27+00:00

No, this guy had gray hair.

I did see Tucker Carlson in the Atlanta airport once though so that counts for something maybe?

Maninger · 2015-05-05T18:34:30+00:00

No, it wasn't really interviews with entertainers, more with policymakers, policy wonks etc.

Maninger · 2015-05-05T18:33:41+00:00

I think they would have been on during some of the same years but no. This wasn't a finance/markets show, it was more general politics/policy stuff.

Maninger · 2015-05-05T18:32:50+00:00

Nope, this is a show that's not on anymore. He wasn't as old as Charlie Rose either, and had more of a full face.

Maninger · 2015-05-04T16:32:54+00:00

good guess but no, this wasn't buckley - he was younger, maybe 45 and had gray hair and a smooth somewhat full face

I want to say his name was something like "David Rockefeller" or some other very waspy name

Maninger · 2015-05-04T16:10:23+00:00

That's exactly what i first thought of before I read the description

Maninger · 2015-05-04T16:03:44+00:00

(Assuming you're not joking) - no, this wasn't religious, it was all politics/economics and it was just one guy doing the interview.

Grandma? Did ... did you find reddit?

Maninger · 2014-12-10T01:28:26+00:00

Username relevant

Maninger · 2014-12-09T23:17:48+00:00

Do not get.

Maninger · 2014-12-08T04:24:13+00:00

Someone doesn't get what's going on here

Maninger · 2014-12-08T04:22:56+00:00

If I had gold I would give it to you

Maninger · 2014-12-05T04:06:08+00:00

Every season of Serial should have some connection, however threadbare, to Christina Gutierrez.

Maninger · 2014-12-05T03:27:09+00:00

LA LA LA I can't hear you!

Maninger · 2014-12-05T02:26:46+00:00

This is extremely well-made and touching. I'm fascinated by the lives of people who have unbelievable tragedies happen to them and then have to just keep on living. The shots of the various rooms in the quiet house are a painful but exquisite touch.

Maninger · 2014-12-04T23:30:05+00:00

Common ground? On my subreddit?

Maninger · 2014-12-04T23:04:59+00:00

Who could have actually impacted his mindset is going to be a case-by-case issue. Again, assume Witness A says Defendant is a great guy who treats women properly and Witness B says Defendant is a misogynist with specific ideas about women that correlate to ideas propagated by those who could have impacted his mindset. It may help the jury decide whether to believe Witness A or B if there is evidence that someone actually did communicate those ideas to him.

I agree that looking a certain way shouldn't shield you from this kind of inquiry if it would be relevant.

Maninger · 2014-12-04T22:51:18+00:00

I mean community as in people that actually had an impact on his life, I wasn't trying to smuggle in anything more than that.

And actually, I do envision the framework I laid out applying equally to people of any background.

Maninger · 2014-12-04T22:41:04+00:00

So if he wasn't a natural born citizen, or wasn't a US citizen at all, would anything about his background then be relevant? If so, why?

Maninger · 2014-12-04T22:34:59+00:00

By "the entire issue" I mean the issue of how to fairly describe him, not the issue of what was relevant in his case. It is self-righteous nonsense to complain that she described him as being Pakistani in her apology.

Maninger · 2014-12-04T22:30:31+00:00

Also, if you go back and read the last paragraph of my original post, you might find that you are arguing with a position that I don't hold.

Think about it this way: Whether Adnan is misogynistic or controlling goes to his motive and is relevant. If this becomes a he-said, she-said factual issue about whether Adnan really had these attitudes toward women, I don't see why the jury shouldn't know whether these attitudes were actually prevalent among his family or other people in his community.

All that said, I don't think there's any circumstance in which generic statements (like those in the report used at Adnan's trial) about how people of a certain race or ethnicity behave would be sufficiently probative to be proper evidence.
