@ACoronaNJD Not even half an hour is suspiciously short. No questions from the crowd, rushed out as soon as they were done. Leaves more questions than answers.
Tortorella stayed up to watch Knicks-Spurs last night:
“They’ve been watching our games.”
“I wanted to go to bed, but when they cut it down to 15, you knew something stupid was gonna happen. It’s basically been the same stupid stuff that’s happened in our series.”
It’s absolutely wild that you can be photographed on Epstein Island, evade hearings about your ties to a convicted child predator, and still show your face at an NBA finals game because you're rich and connected.
If that isn’t a broken system, what is?
A 15-year-old girl who had loved wrestling since she was four got put on a mat against a fucking male while the adults in charge knew exactly what they were doing.
She didn’t know. They did. By the end of that match she was sobbing and running to her mother after getting digitally raped through her singlet. She still had to shake the bastard’s hand. Her own coaches just walked the fuck away.
Her mother reported it the next day like any decent parent would. The law and their own policy said report it to the Title IX coordinator immediately and get law enforcement involved within 48 hours.
These gutless fucks did nothing for 53 days. Fifty-three fucking days of silence while they protected their precious policy and kept letting males into girls’ sports.
Only when a journalist started asking questions did these cowards suddenly remember how to do their fucking jobs. The next day they finally filed the report.
The principal had the balls to call the mother afterward and say they take this shit “very seriously.” Seriously? You spineless pricks sat on a sexual assault complaint for nearly two months and only moved when the press showed up.
And what did it cost? The girl quit wrestling. A sport she’d loved since she was four years old. She quit because she no longer trusted the adults in charge to protect her. Students bullied the shit out of her after the story broke and not one coach or administrator lifted a finger to stop it.
They protected the policy. They protected their own asses. They left the girl to carry it alone. Fuck every last one of them.
(article below)
I had to read this three times before I could believe it was real.
Rotherham. A small town in northern England.
For sixteen years, at least 1,400 children — some as young as eleven — were raped, gang-raped, and trafficked between cities by organized groups of men.
Eleven years old.
Petrol was poured on them so they would stay quiet.
Their families were threatened with death.
Photos were taken and used as blackmail.
The police knew.
The council knew.
The social workers knew.
For sixteen years, not one of them moved.
Why?
Because officers were afraid of being called racist if they acted on what they were seeing.
That was the whole reason.
While children were being sold, adults were protecting their own reputations.
That is the moment something in you breaks.
And here is the part that makes it worse.
The TV networks did not report it. The papers did not chase it.
When the journalist Andrew Norfolk finally broke the story, even he thought maybe 150 girls had been hurt.
The real number was 1,400.
He was staggered.
This should have been the biggest story of the decade. It was not.
The networks looked away. The advertisers preferred safer topics.
The cover-up did not end when the report was published — it continued in the silence of every newsroom that refused to chase it.
Then Elon Musk bought X.
The advertisers fled.
The press declared the platform finished.
X almost did not survive.
But it did.
And on X, the names of those towns started trending.
Rotherham.
Telford.
Rochdale.
Oldham.
Towns the country had been told to forget.
Britain understands itself differently today.
Not because the politicians confessed.
Not because the broadcasters apologized.
Because one platform refused to let it stay buried.
X almost did not survive.
1,400 children almost stayed forgotten.
That is worth saying out loud.
As both a Frisco resident and Attorney:
If you are surprised by the Karmelo Anthony verdict or confused by it, please revisit the news sources you trust and consume.
We are often misled and tricked by the media. It feels like it has become part of their job to rile us up. To create emotional response. To divide us by political association, race, gender, orientation, etc. because it turns into clicks and more consumption of their content.
Look past these sources if they speak more about how you should feel about the “news” and not present the “news” as facts of what happened. Find the facts yourself by looking at multiple sources. Listen to the testimony and review the evidence. Make your own objective conclusions.
For example, the facts (in response to common misinformation) include:
1) The jury included numerous minorities, including Asian, Hispanic, and Middle-Eastern people;
2) Anthony’s attorney was a private, hired lawyer, not a public defender;
3) It was and is an unwritten rule that you are only permitted under a team tent if you are part of the team/school;
4) Anthony was not part of the team/school yet went and sat in the tent anyway;
5) Eyewitnesses, including black eyewitnesses, testified Anthony was told to leave the tent multiple times and he verbally refused;
6) Multiple eyewitnesses, including black eyewitnesses, testified that Karmelo was never surrounded/ganged up/jumped in that tent;
7) Multiple eyewitnesses, including black eyewitnesses, testified Anthony put his hand inside his backpack as though he was planning to retrieve a weapon during the verbal altercation;
8) The eyewitnesses, including black eyewitnesses, in the tent testified they jokingly said that they didn’t believe he had anything in the bag because he was in Frisco, Texas;
9) Eyewitnesses said AM told Anthony to leave or he would kick his a**;
10) Eyewitnesses testified that during the verbal exchange, Anthony said “touch me and find out.”
11) Eyewitnesses testified AM went over and pushed him to make him leave the tent.
12) Eyewitnesses testified AM did not punch Anthony or make any attempt to cause serious injury to him;
13) Anthony immediately pulled his knife and stabbed AM in the chest;
14) Anthony then threw the weapon into the stands and ran;
15) Anthony admitted the stabbing to the police;
16) Even the defense’s witnesses said Anthony was in the wrong.
You are free to make your own opinions about the case. But before jumping to conclusions, at least know the facts.
I think it's time we all recognize the NBA has a great creative team and writers. Wow. What a story! Texas heels rout hometown heroes in the 1st half at the World's Most Famous Arena (@TheGarden ), only for the babyfaces to perform the greatest comeback EVER! My compliments!
Not what “happens” what happened. Your money is given to the generation before you.
People think the government has it in a savings account for them. They don’t and never have.
Completely unrelated heres the definition of Ponzi scheme:
fraud that pays existing investors with funds collected from new investors.
