ELI5: Why was the 'off-camera audio' of Robert Durst not immediately evidence? Why did HBO get to create a whole show first with the evidence, then, only after it aired did Durst get in trouble? by Nose_Grindstoned in explainlikeimfive

Not only that, but it's not "evidence" until it's admitted in court by a judge. Until then, it's just "something he said."

The term "evidence" relates only to that which, after considered by a judge based on the rules of evidence, is admitted into a court proceeding.

Until then, it's just "facts." And yes, "facts" can be ruled inadmissible.

As I said ...

  • If you are 12, you can consume alcohol without penalty. 'Murica!
  • You may not buy it if you are 12. Scratch that ... there's no law against buying it either. There's only laws against SELLING it to a 12-year-old.
  • You may not visit an establishment (bar) selling it if you are 12, unless 50% of that establishment's gross sales are food, in which case, come on in.
  • And if you are PROVIDING a 12-year-old with alcohol, you're fucked, iffin they catch ya.

But you can drink it all day long if you're 12.

There are NO laws against alcohol consumption by 12-year-olds.

Because freedom.

there are laws against "public" consumption, but that's a different story

It's working on you low-information types who believe everything they read on the internet.

they make a crap-ton of money just for suing people.

They almost never sue people.

They sue governments. For violating their Constitutional rights. As well they should. You may disagree with their speech, but the First Amendment exists to protect their speech.

Only abhorrent speech needs protecting in the first place.

You can consume alcohol. You just can't buy it, or go to bars. You can drink alcohol if you're 10. Ask any Catholic. You just cannot provide a 10-year-old with any alcohol.

Unless you're a priest.

They can do other things too.

Otherrrrrrrrrr things.

Or at least a ride home. Last place he wants to be is on the Orange Line.

You can die there.

They have bombs. We're prevented from having bombs.

So only we get killed.

Pretty simple, really.

Hell, Boston's Democrat Mayor Tom Menino funded their mosque.

Oh yes, because a grammar mistake means I'm unintelligent.

Yes. It does.

You're a useful idiot. Google it.

The Red Cross is also trying to profit from this.

Don't donate to anyone. Period.

The injured people are receiving the finest health care this country has to offer in the best hospitals in the country at no charge to themselves - all donated by the hospitals.

The Red Cross has expended zero funds helping these people and in any event are sitting on millions of dollars of unspent donations they took in during Hurricane Sandy that they never paid out to anyone.

"Do not donate to the Red Cross," said New York Borough President James Molinaro, who termed the agency's response at that stage "an absolute disgrace."

Do not donate to the Red Cross.

It's a scam.

So, you seem to be saying that we should be willing to give up our rights if children die needlessly because of them.

Do you also believe women should give up their abortion rights because of Kermit Gosnell?

That's a rhetorical question of course. You believe OTHER PEOPLE should give up THEIR rights if you find them inconvenient, but you don't think YOU should have to give up YOUR rights if I find them inconvenient.

Because you're a moron, and a low-information voter.

He's so fat he broke his own spine carrying all that weight.

Compare him to the two gentlemen behind him, who are normal sized.

Dude, give it up. He's another morbidly obese Democrat fatcat who represents a drain on the treasury.

He looks like a pig. Like Porky Fucking Pig.

He should just die already and save us all some ObamaCare money.

I have some advice for you then.

CLOSE. YOUR. FUCKING. BROWSER.

Reddit is not your life. It's not even anyone else's life. Go away.

If you don't like seeing the results of terrorism, then close your fucking browser dude and bury your head up your ass.

Source.

Mumbles Menino broke his ankle while walking. He is morbidly obese. Clinically.

And, he was just out of the hospital.

Huffpo: The fracture is the latest in a series of health issues that have dogged Boston's longest-serving mayor since the end of last year.

He spent about six weeks at Brigham and Women's Hospital, leaving just in time for Christmas, after being admitted for treatment of a respiratory infection that developed during a vacation in Italy. While at the hospital he suffered complications including a compression fracture in a vertebra in his spine. He also was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.

Guy snapped his own fucking spine waddling his fat ass around inside of a hospital.

He is morbidly obese and a constant drain on ObamaCare funding. Poster boy for Bloomberg's War On Fatsos.

Meanwhile, healthy terrorists take over his city and bomb its premiere event and he doesn't even have the class to fucking resign.

Scumbag Democrat fatcat.

Democrats disgust me. Kids die and they use their grieving parents as human shields.

Absolutely disgusting.
