"My mom is a person that says like, 'You know, they killed their parents, and that’s wrong.'"
"I’m always like, ‘Yeah, it is wrong.’ I’m not supporting the fact that they killed their parents, and I never will. But it’s the background story that’s so much more important to me."

It is shocking, shocking to find in the age of covid denialism, the rejection of masks, and the diversion of vaccines to healthy teachers that some people don’t much care about older people dying.
Normally being not woke can be handled with re-education, but not always.
Those brothers are excellent candidates for the Danno abortion look-back rule. Release them after being aborted just a wee bit after birth.
I watched the whole trial at the time it was happening. Were they the originals who murdered their parents, and then begged for mercy because they were orphans? They were both adults when they murdered their parents. If they were being abused, they could have left their parents home. Of course, that would have meant a significant change in lifestyle. Murdering their parents gave them access to their parents wealth. They can stay where they are.
The Menendez Bros happened when I paid scant attention to the news. What a relief to feel nothing about a topic.
"My mom is a person that says like, 'You know, they killed their parents, and that’s wrong.'"
That's pretty judgemental on the part of her mom. Not to mention self serving. Also, isn't Beverly Hills a sanctuary city and aren't the Menendez boys Hispanic? Duh. Let them go.
The law needs to lighten up. It's not like the brothers misgendered someone.
Come on, they're really, really nice, and cool... except for the murdering their parents thing.
Similar to a line from Oliver Stone's "Natural Born Killers" delivered in a man in the street interview. Remember how upset people were that Stone had glorified violence. The meaning I got from the film was that Stone was going after the obscene nature of news coverage and the broader cultural support for and interest in it.
Battlespace prep.
Killing your parents is about to come back into style.
"COVID denialism" - also known as critical thinking and rejection of unscientific bureaucratic rulemaking. But state fellaters like Ken B enjoy having their supposed moral virtue out there in the open so that others will think well of them.
The only denialism about COVID that is unsupported by scientific, critical thinking is that the Wu Flu came out of a chink in China's state lab safety rules, and was paid for the by the feckless Dr Fauci's CDC. All the right-thinking people (mask loving state fellaters) believe - along with the WHO - that it could not have come from the CCP biowarfare factory in Wuhan.
They should have been executed years ago!
shouldn't we cut these kids some slack?
I mean, SURE, they killed their parents... But; They're Orphans !!!
"But it’s the background story that’s so much more important to me"
Understandable. Killing your parents isn't half as bad as mentioning a certain word in conversation with children. Who cares about the background story to that?

Hahahaha.....our hostess will like that one.

What is the next logical step after reporting your parents to the authorities for being Trump supporters? The Menendez brothers may have the answer.
"Twitter users have begun mass-blocking New York Times-linked accounts to control the flood of corporate disinformation online.
Now, a new app automates the process. For a limited time, block 800 NYT reporters for the low price of $0."
Good idea. Block CNN while you're at it.
There was never any evidence that the Menendez brothers were abused by their parents but there was plenty of evidence that money was the motive. The parents were wealthy.
I had previously dated the beginning of our current, awful era to OJ Simpson’s murder of his wife and her boyfriend in 1994, but after re-reading Dominick Dunne’s 1994 piece Menendez Justice in Vanity Fair, I’m pushing the date back to 1989.
“After a long trial, two hung juries, and an earthquake, the story of Lyle and Erik Menendez seems murkier than ever. But, in interviews with friends and relatives of the confessed killers, the author, who has followed the case for Vanity Fair from its bloody beginnings, debunks the tearful defense of sexual molestation that divided the juries, the press, and the public—and turned a family tragedy into a marathon courtroom drama.”
“There are people who think these kids should get the Nobel Prize. We’ve all made a mistake, or most of us have, which is we’ve assumed that they were abused, and there’s no reason to think they were abused. — Steven Brill, creator of Court TV, on Charlie Rose, January 12, 1994."
Ken B,
"It is shocking, shocking to find in the age of covid denialism, the rejection of masks, and the diversion of vaccines to healthy teachers that some people don’t much care about older people dying."
I appreciate your views on COVID, while not entirely sharing them, but you are working way too hard to make this link.
Feral children. I am surprised to learn they're still around, but that's OK, they can be made useful to society again. As organ donors.
I wonder what the crossover is among people who think the Menendez brothers should be released and the ones who thought it was funny that Trumps attorneys were quitting.
One more instance of not caring about enforcing the laws.
My wife's family like, lived around the corner from them when they lived in New Jersey. By all accounts the parents were like, nice folks.
Odds are that 98% of the correspondents with the Menendez brothers are women. There are essentially five ways for a man to attract a woman: 1) handsome good looks; 2) extreme wealth; 3) a position of great power or celebrity; 4) wits and humor; 5) being a "bad boy". You can guess how the Menendez brothers qualify. (Note the appropriate use of four semi-colons).

How about you practice colon cleansing?
"Why now?"
The mainstreaming of Critical Theory?
The logical extension of doxxing your parents for thoughtcrime.
>>"Young people are making impassioned arguments for the release of Lyle and Eric Menendez."<<
Forget it, Jake; it's young people.
Could it be the younger generation has been indoctrinated in school that older people are a burden on society and if eliminated, actually is good for the state? Basically, the case for state supported euthanasia. Hence, what the Menendez brothers did (in the younger generation’s minds) was ok. Like in the science fiction film “Logan’s Run” where anyone hit the age of 30 were eliminated. And, hey, in the Menendez Brothers’ case, redistribution of wealth from the parents to the kids!
"...and that's wrong."
The birth of a meme.
How does rhhardin not make a comment in this thread?

Entirely unnecessary, Danno! Two bowls of pork green chile on Saturday have served admirably.
From the story(;)
Erik and Lyle Menendez, who were sentenced to life in prison in 1996 for murdering their parents, have become the subjects of hundreds of fan accounts across social media.
Remember the hard boiled-get the story at risk of life and limb-reporters of yore?
Investigation these days often consists of combing reddit and twitter comments and creating a story from a bunch of goofy comments.
Yesterday's defense: Accuse your victim of child molestation
Today's defense: Accuse your victim of white supremacy
This is nothing new. People can be easily misled as the example of Mumia Abu Jamal showed, especially when the trail is presented as something making them special.
It's also amusing the author presents the current environment as more advanced when the evidence shows we're really experiencing a loss of touch with reality since there was never any evidence of sexual abuse beyond their self-serving accusations. Rather than recognize this the narrative becomes whatever makes the readers feel they are progressing.
"Entirely unnecessary, Danno! Two bowls of pork green chile on Saturday have served admirably."
No, that is only a semi colon cleansing.
Not just crossover, but total overlap @Mary Beth. Young people who have been indoctrinated by the schools and universities to worship the state do not think of family. They would sooner report their parents for wrongthink like voting for Trump than turn in a BLM/antifa arsonist/murderer.
Planned Parent/hood.
I always use dashes- it’s a breathable alternative- like phrasing in misic
"Killing your parents is about to come back into style."
It's going to be a necessity. All those millennials working as baristas are never going to be able to take care of their parents in their dotage. Much less afford the SS taxes to support them.
I can envision AOC herding us into the death camps, wearing that big toothy grin.
