I always wondered what type of people go to bars at that hour.
How these criminals always seem to have supportive wives or girlfriends is beyond me.
Reason #523,674 to avoid bars at 2:00 am during the work week. If one wants to find trouble, I can’t think of a better place to look.
9 years for killing someone?
11217 is a man. Would that knowledge have changed the way you fought that battle?
Nah, I just a memory for minutiae and a need to defend myself against personal attacks.
Someone needs to consume less sugar.
DIBS – 11217 just doesn’t know when to leave enough alone. I’ve made a couple of pretty innocuous comments in the past where she felt she had to prove me wrong. Now these were just opinions —I’d like a bakery near me, I hate Bklyn Larder. You’d think I insulted her personally the way she responded.
BTW, I think she’s a hyprocrite. She sang the praises of the cupcake place opening in PS on 7th Avenue–meanwhile, there’s what?? tens of bakeries in the same “nabe!”
Hyprocrite and troll.
ditto, this bugged me too. He stabbed two people over nothing, that’s not “good.”
In the NYDN version the murderer’s wife predictably says “he’s a good man”. So with the manslaughter charge he previously sevred time for he’s now killed two humans, one over a dog. He’s a good man.
Ha @ dibs! I thought about that when I read that comment.
