Yeah, fun to be had. The swamp got him, not justice, but something like it.

Yeah shot himself in the head in that swamp. I do feel bad for his parents. What they did was wrong (refusing to talk to the police/the Petitos, not holding their son accountable), but no one deserves to lose a child. And all the media harassment outside their home had to have been hard, though I'm sure I contributed to the problem by reading every news article about it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

If you are going to shoot yourself in the head - a swamp is a great place to do it.

You shoot yourself in the head in the house - somebody has to clean up the mess - probably need to repaint the walls and ceiling - and replace the carpeting.

In a swamp? Hell - they can just leave you there and let the critters clean up.....

It’s to be expected, I suppose. You love your kid even if they’re a dirtball…so you’re not gonna talk, and people are gonna be pissed. I’m sure they considered that going in.

Id probably tell anyone looking to pound fucking sand and just let them yell at me, myself. Couldn’t be bothered to feel like I was being harassed- more like people responding to my stubborn belligerence.

Josephine Baker (1903-1975), American-French dancer, singer, member of the French Resistance during WWII, intelligence agent, outspoken hater of Nazis, and civil rights activist, is to be re-interred at the Pantheon, among such luminaries as Voltaire, Victor Hugo, and Louis Braille. She is the first black woman to be so honoured.

About bleedin’ time.

People were saying the anti-Dave Chappelle people weren't looking to destroy comedy. No slippery slope, right? Well, now woke news reporters are even attacking someone as milktoast as Trevor Noah for making supposedly anti-black jokes. Clown world. This is why comedians get a pass for making God damn jokes. You start nitpicking, and this is where you end up.

Oh noeees! Did they kill Trevor? Did he get better?

( fyi, he’s caught shit off and on since 2015. Still has a cultural megaphone, corporate backers, and studio time. As far as I’m aware, congress has yet to write a “Shut up Trevor” bill… though I’m sure it’s crossed the mind of plenty of your fellow frozen peach fans)

No one said Trevor Noah was cancelled or going broke. What I was implying is that this is where things are heading. Comedy is dying a death by a thousand cuts. Where will comedy be in 20 years? In 50 years? What are you not going to be allowed to joke about in 100 years? I think long term.
