I mod a worryingly growing list of communities. Ask away if you have any questions or issues with any of the communities.

I also run the hobby and nerd interest website scratch-that.org.

  • My favorite scene in Criminal Minds is when one of the heroes notices that a person fits the profile for the episode’s kidnapping villain.

    That’s it, guy fits the profile. No screams from inside the house. No suspicious behavior. The justification for exigent circumstances is essentially “it appeared to me in a dream.”

    The hero picks up a potted plant to smash his way into the house and somebody else says “We have to wait for a warrant!” to which he replies “THERE’S NO TIME!” and jumps through the glass window into the house.

    Insanity.



















  • The “lawyer dog” case did not hinge on that.

    The suspect,Warren Demesme, did not unequivocally demand a lawyer. He said: “If y’all, this is how I feel, if y’all think I did it, I know that I didn’t do it so why don’t you just give me a lawyer dog cause this is not whats up.”

    The finding was that he asked a question rather than making a statement. The “dog” was completely irrelevant in the decision, but you know Internet pop news sites are going to be Internet pop news sites.

    You can still think the outcome was expecting too much precision by a suspect and disagree with it, but let’s at least be accurate in criticism/discussion instead of perpetuating meme tier inaccuracy.
