What are you Watching?

The husband's ability to completely block any of the dialogue of Downton is proof of the existence...

I have just read, during the inter-regnum, the whole of the December volume of "The Journal of Political Economy" and relished the article "Those Who Know Most: Insider Trading in 18c Amsterdam".

I am vaguely aware that the procreational process in Edwardian England may be a topic around 11:00 pm this evening.

I can tell right away that you guys haven't heard or read or watched anything about it.

Kathleen Zellner is a Chicago lawyer...a high profile one (big shot).
She is also an attractive woman...charismatic...confidence inspiring.

This Steven Avery's and Brendan Dassey's case is the biggest case in town.
The Netflix documentary, Making a Murderer, has waked up the entire world! ...Many scientists, law people, justice thirsty people all over the globe are tuning in, since December 18, 2015 ... and before that ... from 1985! ...But only recently that it reached the entire planet. ,,, Through the media of Netflix...a documentary made by two young women in the course of ten years.

I've been inside a maximum security prison, seen the Life-Johns there, from up close, just visiting. I've also spent several years in frequent company of very serious criminals and/or psychopaths in my early '20s. Even had words with a few, on two occasions. Most of them are long gone dead (my orchestrating voice was somewhat involved in the premature departure of two other occasions, not my hand. Hit two birds with one smart azz sentence, so to speak).

I've worked quite a few years in the weekend night life, in the expensive sector, bad fellas do not go cheap.
It doesn't take long to smell the bad from the worse, and the worst.

Speaking from past experience, I'm the type which makes professional criminals feel on edge. Likely because I'm twice as smart as the average professional unlawful, at the least.
I have a rap sheet for severe assault and battery, btw, was convicted on the basis of circumstantial evidence. DNA swab sample, 1st offense community service at a hospital for a couple of weeks. Even enjoyed it, and the terminally ill old folks were all sad to see me leave.

I've learned the very hard way that first impressions are right-on practically every instance.
Mr Avery has the rap sheet, the modus operandus, and the eyes.
He's a psycho, just not a very smart one, as 99 of 100 criminals aren't. Most are really really stupid.

As for justice :
I'm a sort of a hybrid engineer, majored in vessel design and maritime business, had several law classes at tech university.
The lawyer teach started the first class by questioning what The Law meant : In the name of the Queen ?
What the f... does the queen have to do with the law anything, he said.
In his view, the law is something that was written up hundreds of years ago, and still behaves as such.
I scored pretty good grades on the exams, took me many years later to fully understand the meaning of what he had said in those first hours.

If you're innocent, the law will fck you front ways, side ways, any ways.
The cops will fck you, the state attorney will fck you, and the judge will fck you as well. Without blinking an eye. In the name of the law.

If you're not innocent, and do not wish to be sentenced, better to behave as a criminal who got caught.
If you are innocent, and do not wish to be sentenced, better behave as a criminal.

The law is no more than the authoritative power it has been granted.
That can be by The People, or the individual.

Class dismissed.

Bob, I've read about the Avery case.

I'm the same age as Steven Truscott and I followed the case at the time. It smelled bad from the start, and I never forgot thinking then, and it felt bad, "If they can do it to him, they can do it to me, to anybody."

So I wouldn't be surprised if Avery was fitted out. Although I'm boggled somewhat at the idea they might do it twice.

Try 31 years, and several suicide attempts later.

Dutch authorities abandon Indian-origin man in US prison | Business Standard News

Over 4 percent of prisoners in the US have been innocently convicted.
Very likely the same story here, cases of post-conviction revisions pile up at an increasing rate, plus the amount of financial 'compensation'.
And not one sign of a revision of the procedures !

I am a good person, always was, with the best heart. I love helping people, I like to see justice.

I feel that Kathleen..she's the one.

If I'm wrong, that's ok, I forgive myself, if I'm right, that's ok too, you can forgive me.

I believe in me, I believe in Frank, and I believe in Jacco. But above all I believe in me...and Kathleen is going to kick axx.
 
Just for clarity, Northstar, being a film geek I was only referring to Henry Silva.

I know I know...cool actor.

Jacco was the one straight to the point. He had/has direct experience with real criminals...and seems to know from the very first impression a guy has on him...just by his looks, his regard, his eyes. Maybe he's right in general.

In the case of Steven Avery; the guy was innocent the first time around, and yet spent 18 years in jail! Now he's been in jail for another 8 years and nothing has proven that he's guilty this time around, for that new crime. The police forged a bunch of fake evidence all over with tons of lies! And they had a very good reason...36 million ones.

And Brendan Dassey, I bet he's guilty too...just by his looks? :deer:

That was cool; very nice 3D imagery, and good music.

right in general

One lives the first half of life, in the assumption that all others know best.
To realise in the 2nd part, to have known so very little, but having been right all along.

I do not drink, do no drugs, do not gamble, I pee with my dick, think with my head only (nowadays), and have sex with both.
I've only made money on buying and selling shares, only made a profit on real estate. I've not once been in the red on bank accounts or credit cards, never had a personal loan, never paid for anything other than with cold hard cash. I do not allow banks to talk me into debt, nor do I give a rat's a.. about the car color and brand the neighbor drives.

Which is more than most can say, even folks with a net worth of over a hundred million dollars have usually spent three quarters of it on lots of houses, superyachts, and a car park. Which are worth JS when the going gets rough, and it's time to sell by force.
David Ritz : The Rise And Fall Of Ritz Camera
Davy boy had a 174' alloy yacht built in 2004 by Oceanfast in Australia, for $50M bucks.
David likes to fish, already owned a 100' sportfish hot rod, but just had to have the biggest mthrfckr that can still carry some fishing rods.
Less than a decade later, after more than half a dozen serious price reductions in a half-decade time frame, it was flogged off for way less than a 1/5th of that.
I live in high roller street, most of my neighbors live a very expensive life on borrowed air. One lost millions by arrogance, a retired dentist neighbor still drives multiple fancy cars, but lossed 2/3d of his pension plus a future inheritance he'd taken for granted.

35 years ago, I told close personal friends that radical Islam would pose a serious threat at some point in the future, one accused me of having a negative personality, others complied.
Three decades ago, I told some people that the next war would take place on muslim soil, the response was that I had a too imaginative mind.
20+ years ago, during a birthday party, I told the happy occasion girl that things were running out of control with the next muslim generation.
The woman had a masters in Italian studies, after a decade of fooling around and having long distance fcks with Italian blokes, gave Dutch language classes to immigrant minorities, for which the government paid her a fancy salary.
A week later, channels mentioned that she'd called me a racist.

Funny thing, I've worked/talked/ate/drank and hung out with next to every nationality in the muslim sphere. I enjoy their food, their beverages, the music, the language. Also have great respect for their cultures, history, traditions, and see rationale in the basis of the faith.
I'd almost be inclined to state I know more about the Arab and Berber world than most in the West, and also most Arabic speakers.

Insha'Allah

I watched Lawrence of Arabia last night, what a movie, and pretty much the only decent role of Peter o'Toole in his acting career.
That Irish lush also still made it to a decent 81.
