Opinions vary. I am not sure anything but execution is truly justice for such a heinous act.
One thing I did not hear, I know his defense team claimed that his Mental illness should at the least bar him from execution, that somehow it caused the murders. The question under law, as I understand it(perhaps primarily for a Not Guilty by reason of insanity), is whether his mental ilness caused him to not realize it was wrong to commit the crime he is accused/convicted of. I Have seen nothing to indicate that he was suffering some delusion that he was killing aliens, defending the earth, or some such situation that might actually have left someone incapable of telling right from wrong.
So how does the argument go? Schizophrenia caused him to murder all those people?
It is very possible that I am more than usually obtuse today, Allergies have my head feeling like it is lined with cotton.

Welcome to your next wiki-hole!
The legal definition of insanity is almost nothing like the conventional or APA definition. It has a storied history of society wanting to kill people who have commit utterly irredeemable acts of violence. The trouble is, sane people don't do those things, almost by definition.

I wonder what happened to the employees of Syndrome on his volcanic island after his untimely demise. Hundreds of people, judging by the size and scope of the operation. Would they just go home? Home where? Would they take over? There's a lot of valuable intellectual property on the island and no official corporate filings. They could be a union run island in no time.

Not a fan of leather and ropes?
I like sriracha, but not on my cereal. I like lightsabers, but not on House of Cards. (actually, that would be awesome. Nevermind.) I like beer, but not in my ice-cream.

Fake female accounts to lure in men is my guess.
Out of the men using Ashley Madison, I'd feel sorry for maybe %2 of them.
As for the company itself, if they really promised to scrub records, we could be seeing lots of lawsuits its way. Which I wouldn't feel sympathy for it at all
You know about half of the the infidelitous louts were women, right? IIRC, women have slightly more dalliances than men, but they tend to be of shorter duration.

I've "binged" Bosch, the Amazon-funded police procedural where someone made the insane casting decision of letting Titus Welliver play a good guy (the horrendously named Hieronymous "Harry" Bosch, LAPD detective).
Didn't even hear of the novels, but liked the series, especially how they took their time and solved a crime in 10 40-minute episodes, something that a CSI metastasis might've handled in one.
More time for creating a modern, yet noir-ish point of view.
Nifty! I started reading the series recently. Good present day (1980s when he started out, but who's counting?) LA Noir. I'll check it out! Thanks!

At least we've gotten away from the rood. From wikipedia: Rood is an English unit of area, equal to one quarter of an acre or 10,890 square feet (1,012 m2) or 0.10 hectares). A rectangular area with edges of one furlong (i.e. 10 chains, or 40 rods) and one rod respectively is one rood, as is an area consisting of 40 perches (square rods). The rood was an important measure in surveying on account of its easy conversion to acres. When referring to areas, rod is often found in old documents and has exactly the same meaning as rood.[1]

That explains a lot of the awkward looks I got in Athens. That and my Latin was terrible! I think my time travel pre-flight research might need work...

Her parents keep trying. I'm betting before her brother's trial.At what point does Rachel Dolezal get shot in the back?

Even if she presently receives typical white-on-black discrimination?
That is a puzzler.

As a white guy, I find her decisions baffling. My black friends are nearly unified in their disdain, contempt, and anger. I think that putting on blackness involves putting on all that has come before it, and white people simply cannot do that, however much they'd like to (for whatever absurd reason). She seems genuine in her convictions, but I am reminded of those who pretend to military service or Native American ancestry. Not yours! The people who have it, earned it some fashion, or by virtue of having it have experiences you cannot have had, and as such you literally cannot be identified as one of them.

lousy day of inexplicably crap moods and moodiness. Dark ruminations, paranoid/hostile social fantasies, the works. On the other hand, I've been fairly productive, which was nice.

If you aren't familiar with the title, a simple google image search will be educational, but about very different topic.

Additionally, 120 people were arrested and charged with a plethora of things including engaging in organized crime. There were crimes and there was enforcement. Good work! The big difference with the Grey incident in Baltimore was that there was either no initial crime, or a de minimus crime, and the enforcement was lethal. The difference exists, but it isn't reflected very clearly or accurately in this incident imho.
[Police brutality] American injustice, yet again.

Isn't the witness in this case a cop from another jurisdiction?
