Been there last summer, awesome place, lots of workers who are going about making parts of the castle. Blacksmiths making nails and chisels, masons working on bricks, people making dyes for clothes. It goes slowly but steadily. And remarkably quiet compared to modern construction.
They aren’t in character, like you see someone in living history. They just make stuff and tell you about it.
Lovely experience if you’re into history it’s a unique experience.
Must be rough being a fancy lad born into extreme wealth originally derived from racist opportunist parentage, always getting your way, always having and taking license to hurt others for your own gratification because you can just hide behind a team of attorneys to protect you from the consequences of your own actions.
Trump denies wrongdoing. He says … that it didn’t matter what he put on his financial statements because they had a disclaimer that says they shouldn’t be trusted.
Yes, because they fully believe that 40% of the nation would exonerate him. So they want jury trials to be stacked with loyalists. There is also the possibility that they want to know who will make the decision so they can be coerced.
It depends on where the jury pool comes from. I doubt that 4 people in Manhattan or Brooklyn would want to exonerate him, much less 40%. But if they can pull from Staten Island as well, his chances of finding at least one goober who would be willing to ignore the facts and exonerate him get larger.
Long trials tend to have a large jury pool to select from. I was recently in the pool for a 7 week trial in Oakland and there were 150 of us to choose from. The defense just needs to find 4 Republicans to get into the jury and the case is over. You would assume a staunch Republican would try hard to get on the jury to help protect trump.
I think you underestimate how much New Yorkers (Particularly NYC) loathe Trump. Brooklyn and Queens saw something insane like 75% of the vote go to Biden, in Manhattan and then Bronx it was closer to 85%. And we can’t assume the remaining 15% are full MAGA, either, they may have just not liked Biden but were ambivalent to Trump.
Staten Island is where NYC keeps its Conservatives, it went for Trump 52 to 42.
Given the stack of damning evidence against him, probably. Jury’s adds an unknown quantity. So if you think you can win without on, you should not request one.
You two are saying different things. The first poster just can’t read. Your point is more valid - we don’t know yet whether this attack was motivated by his activism. Though not unimaginable in the current circumstance.
Imma say something that could be considered a lil wild:
Clap him and take his shit.
The US has done it before and we could do it again. It’s a kneejerk reaction, but he’s a Nazi so Idgaf. I’d settle for black site detention and disappropriate his companies, but either way, where tf are the “intelligence” agencies when ya need them?
Edit: I used the wrong multisyllabic word. Subsidization means something totally different than “take Elmo’s companies and give them to someone else”
give his companies to a collection of other billionaires (still undeserving but perhaps not a threat to the relative peace we’ve enjoyed) and you’d probably only hear praise for the move
This is why I was taught to never stop s theft. This person was not trained to deal with this and look what happen. The fucking stuff wasn’t worth his life, and stores are insured.
Exactly! What is being stolen is not yours, you aren’t law enforcement, you aren’t trained, and you don’t know what the thief is going through or willing to do to you.
Store clerks are being paid at the bottom. Absolutely no reason to protect merch.
There are jobs that make twice to 10 times as much as them. So why throw yourself in danger for $12 an hour when there are people making $200 an hour who get to sit around behind a desk all day?
Even the people making $200 an hour don’t want this guy risking himself for the merch. Most stores prohibit their staff from interfering with thieves. No one wants this, and it’s saying something if all levels of a company are aligned on something.
