“I wish to buy something that tells everyone that I’m richer and better than them.”

Later…

“Waaaah! Everyone’s being mean to me because I’m telling everyone I’m richer and better than them!”

For those who wish to know the salient details of this clear miscarriage of justice:

Bowman, imprisoned for more than half his life, was convicted of the 2001 killing of Kandee Martin, a 21-year-old childhood friend. He has said he did not kill her and that he refused to accept a plea deal because of his innocence. His attorneys said the evidence used against him was not reliable: the primary witnesses implicating him were two men also charged in the crime who received reduced sentences, and a third man who had pending charges in a separate case, which were subsequently dropped.

His lawyers also argued that the state had withheld evidence casting doubt on the witnesses, including a memo outlining a claim that one of the witnesses had confessed to the shooting.

Bowman’s legal team also argued in a recent petition that the lawyer who represented him at trial had been “infected by his own racism”, writing that the lawyer pressured him to plead guilty because he was Black and his victim was white.

Even if he was 100% guilty of the crime, he did not in any way get a fair trial. By any measure, this was a miscarriage of justice and he should be alive today.

I’m kind of amazed any time anyone in America feels guilt or shame or regret based on their actions at this point, but especially Trump’s fans.

Many times. No audiobook. I think it might be a javascript error?

They paid $2000 to a guy they saw on YouTube to learn how to be tackled by that cop.

As an official Old™, you lost me at Pokemon.

He almost died. It was near-death. Even he said so. But that wasn’t good enough for NBC News. They had to say he “briefly died.”

He didn’t. You don’t come back from death.

When he violates federal law? Yes.

How dare you mistreat the man I wanted dead!

Yes, but now he thinks she loves him.

Remember, he picked a running mate who called him America’s Hitler before he started brown nosing. I can absolutely see this moron thinking that Swift suddenly went MAGA.

Lots of poor people used Redbox.

At least poor people still have the public library.

For now.

Whoops. Sorry. And yeah, no 12-year-old ever flirted with me when I was 22 either. And if they did, I would be smart enough not to reciprocate even if I was interested, which I wouldn’t have been.

You know, I’m only five years younger than him, and yet never in my life since I was about 12 years old myself has a 12-year-old so much as flirted with me. This 52-year-old is somehow irresistible to the middle schoolers?

That really sucks, sorry to hear it. I was never huge on theme parks to begin with, but I’ll go on some rides. Ones that go upside-down? Forget it.

And once again, much to the chagrin of my wife and daughter, I’m standing my by conviction of never getting on any of those sorts of rides.

They wanted to connect to this story through a personal experience. Don’t be a jerk about it.

Yes, but he also lies all the time, so I wouldn’t exactly take than on face value.

Associate Supreme Court Justice annual salary: $285,400

So if he turns it down, he either really likes being a judge (he doesn’t act like it) or he’s got a financial incentive beyond his salary to stay.

And I’m guessing he’ll turn it down.
