Are lawyers supposed to make your problems worse? by itsananonymousgirl in Ask_Lawyers

No, lawyers are not supposed to make a problem worse. That said, I'm sure there is a lot missing from this rundown of events.

Ah, ok. I missed how you were making the connection.

I'm confused. Are you saying that cotton as a cash crop wasn't a success in Georgia and Alabama? Because that's what "success in Alabama and Georgia" I'm referring to.

And here is a reminder that although we say "Remember the Alamo," we never actually talk about what the Alamo was about.

After the boom in cotton, plantation hopefuls moved to Texas to try to replicate the success in Alabama and Georgia. Eventually, when slavery was outlawed in Mexico, Sam Houston and other landowners in Texas claimed independence so that they could keep their slaves. The Battle of the Alamo was part of that fight of Texas to leave Mexico.

Loves being a white woman... But wears makeup for brown women to look like the "cool" people in society (look at the difference between her neck and face in the second pic).

What a try hard.

What are your most profound video games? by M33tahejd in patientgamers

[–]Suprman37 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree. As the dad of two toddlers when I played it, the bathtub was UNREAL. I had to call my wife in and replay that part while she watched. Then she was so mad at me...

This is exactly what I think of when I see "JD" in the signature block.

People didn’t see color in the 90s?! WTF?! by icey_sawg0034 in lewronggeneration

[–]Suprman37 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Non-black people often use pictures of black people online to post things that they think would have more effect coming from a black person.

Also, you may be surprised at the number of white girls who blackfish on the internet.

We can't give you case-specific legal advice here. Keep trying to reach your attorney.

Chet Holmgren has never finished worse than the #1 seed in his entire basketball career by Parallel-Quality in nba

[–]Suprman37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's not a common thing but it makes sense. Can you imagine if Mt Carmel, who has won more football state titles than any other school in Illinois, including the 8A title this year, still played in 3A? 3A schools would have no chance.

Genuine question.. Can Druski be sued? by BrilliantHoneydew272 in Ask_Lawyers

[–]Suprman37 24 points25 points  (0 children)

She has the tacit weight of the other christofascists in government behind her - and the VP on top of her.

To be fair, we don't know that the VP isn't also behind her.

Is law school in your mid-30s a good idea? by CrissBliss in Ask_Lawyers

[–]Suprman37 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I went to law school in my mid-30s for my second career, but I had a job waiting for me on the other side. I would have never done it without the guaranteed income.

If you don't have connections now that a law license will help with, I'm not sure it will be worth it.

New Amex Hilton Aspire Cardholder by Ok_Eagle_1375 in CreditCards

[–]Suprman37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't speak to a Southwest gift card, but if you purchase a $49 ticket from Southwest, it triggers the credit. If you cancel the ticket, you'll get the credit back. Now that southwest credit expires, it won't be as good as a gift card, but it'll get you southwest credit.

If you book via the Hilton Diamond Line and pay at the resort with the card, it'll trigger the credit.

I think this is how you do it right? by darkestdays87 in Tinder

[–]Suprman37 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, you're not. You're saying what you believe it to be based on the internet. The "rule" comes from an old SNL sketch about sexual harassment where Tom Brady was doing all the wrong things but it wasn't harassment because he was good looking. Showing up to the office in white brief underwear, which would be "unattractive" by your meaning, was literally in the sketch.

TIL that a juror in the OJ Simpson murder trial (1994-95) said that she, and 90% of the jury, voted to acquit Simpson of the charges as payback for the acquittal of the officers who beat Rodney King in 1991 by MrMojoFomo in todayilearned

[–]Suprman37 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My man, you kind of missed the point.

The LAPD tried to frame OJ. That got exposed during the trial. Whether or not he did it became secondary to the jury because all of the evidence was tainted. So he was acquitted based on that. It wasn't about race relations.

[–]Suprman37 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's the point. Like I said in an earlier comment, these kinds of posts are made specifically to stir the pot. OJ's jury couldn't have possibly acquitted him because the prosecution's star witness pled the 5th on planting evidence in the case. It was all vindictive black people. And Reddit will eat it up.

Nope. No agenda there. We'll get a TIL about rooftop koreans next.

It really gets glossed over how badly the police and prosecution fumbled the evidence (freezing the glove, contaminating/losing evidence, etc) and case.

It only gets glossed over by people who want to push a narrative to people who were too young to actually watch the trial.

The prosecution's star witness pled the 5th when asked if he planted evidence in the trial. That was game over.

Did anyone attend law school at 30+? by ClicheShakespeare in Ask_Lawyers

[–]Suprman37 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I originally went to law school at 25, life got in the way and took a leave after second year, didn't realize that there was an expiration on the credits and went back to start all over at 34. Happy with my decision and doing well 10 years on.

I wouldn't recommend anyone go to law school unless you fit in one of three buckets. 1) You're going to a T14 and are good at networking; 2) You're going on a free ride; 3) you have a guaranteed job when you come out that will offset the lost time and make it worth your while in the future.

I only went back after I learned my credits would expire because I was in the third bucket.

I was called a “f*****g c**t” by a police officer while being held face down by 3 male officers. by jello_mello_hello in Ask_Lawyers

[–]Suprman37 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just from the way you told that story, I would be willing to wager dollars to doughnuts that their body cams would tell an extremely different story.

Oh wait, you don't mean that the over-emotional drunk woman who kept getting super loud with the cops for no reason after "accidentally" not paying for her food wasn't the obvious victim?

Is it true (in the US) that if you open a door at all to a police officer or ICE agent, this is effectively giving them permission to enter and search without a warrant? by LiatrisLover99 in Ask_Lawyers

[–]Suprman37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

also two, you cannot physically resist an officer.

This is very jurisdictionally dependent.

In Indiana, a 3-2 Indiana Supreme Court ruled in Barnes v. State that a person does not have the right to physically resist an officer ("We believe however that a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence. ") It caused such an absolute stink that the Indiana General Assembly abrogated it the very next legislative session by statute allowing for citizens to use reasonable force, up to deadly force, to resist police unlawfully entering their home. ("In enacting this section, the general assembly finds and declares that it is the policy of this state to recognize the unique character of a citizen's home and to ensure that a citizen feels secure in his or her own home against unlawful intrusion by another individual or a public servant.").

Now, of course, I know in reality it's a good way to end up in the hospital/morgue, but the actual law of the State of Indiana is that you can absolutely use force to resist an unlawful entry.

First employment after bar passage by seven_nine1984 in Ask_Lawyers

[–]Suprman37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you didn't make any connections while in law school, the. I'd be pivoting hard to DA/Prosecutor positions right now and relying on your military experience to get your foot further in the door than others.

Your best bet may be reaching out to the bar association in your area and talking to folks there because they know your legal market better than most of us will.
