Stupidity is no defense!

[sanada]

So, today I was dragged out of bed at the asscrack of dawn to head to court for the hit-and-run trial of the kid who destroyed Car #1 back in September. All I can say is that his lawyer must have been as high as he was at the time of the accident to recommend that he plead not guilty despite, well, admitting that he'd hit the cars, drove away, and

Huh... as much as i try i still can't believe that people go for every little shit to court in America; i just don't get it and i doubt i ever will -.-;;

And i'm so with you about asshole politicians XD

[sanada]

I know, it's really stupid. I offered to give testimony in writing but I got subpoenaed to appear in court anyway because the guy was being such a shit about it. I was kinda shocked at the stupidity of the other people scheduled for court that day. Two people was pleading not guilty to driving with a suspended license, even though they'd both been caught driving with a suspended license... doesn't "not guilty" mean that you didn't commit a crime? o_O;;

XD some of my favorite characters are unrepentant jerks!!

Not guilty by reason of insanity :3

Judge: You did conceal the merchandise?
Defendant: Yeeeah I uh, think so
Judge: And so you did remove it from the store
Defendant: Mmm.
Judge: Hmmm?
Defendant: I was kind of high on the time, sir
Judge: WHAT o___o
Defendant: yeaaah, you know, on drugs n' shit... heh...
Judge: *stare*
Judge: Mr, uh, Terringt...
Public Defender: Objection!
Judge: ...
Public Defender: My client is an idiot!

sounds just about right to me xD

[sanada]

Bwahahaha, for visual reference, the judge looked and sounded almost exactly like Judge Judy...

I still can't believe that your car got smashed twice.

I never finished watching Toward the Terra. It was licensed before it was finished being subbed. I do think that I have it all somewhere because someone did finish subbing it much later. I'd love to cosplay Soldier Blue. The main reason would be because he has a floor length purple cape.

[sanada]

I can't believe it either...

Oooh, it's definitely worth watching, if you can get past asking yourself OMFG WHY ARE YOU MU SO RETARDED!? Blue has a great outfit, even though I'm not crazy about the character himself. Those little headphones! <3

[roundtuit]

I'm not crazy about the character either (isn't he unconscious most of the time?) and I do remember the show making me angry at some it its retarded parts. But yeah, the cape and the headphones...

[sanada]

Yup, he's unconscious for most of the anime. But he's dead for most of the manga, so yeah... mmm, headphones and cape. I just wanted to smack some of the dumber characters around. But man, I love Keith. He doesn't just steal candy from babies, he Falcon Punches babies and stabs them in the heart. He does not fuck around.

... I'm trying to think of some way that the verdict could somehow be turned into more money for you to replace the car, but I presume that the situation with your insurance company is of the "can't get blood from a stone" sort already.

(So did you ever get your yellow rocket car? How is it behaving?)

(And do you know that there is no "back to the home page" clickable thing on your individual post pages? Maybe you had one and it got eaten by LJ's latest coding fiasco?)

[sanada]

Yeah, unfortunately, the insurance company decides how much they're willing to give you and you won't get a penny more no matter how much you fight them. ~_~

And yes, I have the yellow rocket car~~ It's awesome~~

Ehhh, I thought there used to be one...

[greenzone]

Keith cosplay, that should be interesting. I'm not fan of that character till the very last breath ..of his.
