A man who spent nearly a half century on death row was released after the court determined the prosecution fabricated key evidence. Took their fucking time to make their minds up.

I have little to no sympathy for these wankers. Further in the thread, there's another angle showing a fella getting tackled into the ad boards and a woman amongst them as well.

Kris Kristofferson died at the age of 88. RIP




Comforting and supporting Sinead O'Connor


Duet with Emmylou Harris


And one more

Kristofferson attended Pomona College and experienced his first national exposure in 1958, appearing in the March 31 issue of Sports Illustrated for his achievements in collegiate rugby union, American football, and track and field.[6] He and his classmates revived the Claremont Colleges Rugby Club in 1958, and it remains a Southern California rugby institution.

RIP

Are they just chucking them back into the crowd or do they arrest and charge them?

[Sandstorm]

Are they just chucking them back into the crowd or do they arrest and charge them?

Arrested, charged then usually banned for life from another Rugby stadium.

Japanese woman subdues convenience store thief with headlock, credits anime for technique

Shopping trip turns into unexpected grappling session that ends with bite marks, letter of commendation.

Like countless other people in Japan, 23-year-old Karin Ryo walked into a convenience store to do some shopping on the night of September 16. But while it’s unclear if Ryo ever obtained what she’d gone to the store in search of, while she was there she decided to dispense some justice.

The incident occurred shortly before 8 p.m. in the Shitte neighborhood of the city of Yokohama’s Tsurumi Ward, slightly south of Tokyo. While Ryo was at the store a man attempted to shoplift a six-pack of beer and when he attempted to flee, a clerk confronted him, with the two becoming entangled near the store’s exit. Noticing the altercation, Ryo stepped in and, after ensnaring the man’s legs, brought him to the ground and put him in a headlock.

The man attempted to break free by biting Ryo on her left forearm, with enough force that two weeks later there are still visible teeth marks on her skin. Ryo’s grip held fast, though, and she kept the man subdued until the police were summoned and arrived on the scene, where he was placed under arrest.

As an office worker who works in Tsurumi, Ryo’s daily job doesn’t involve subduing criminals, so following the incident some wondered if maybe she has experience in martial arts training, but that’s not part of her background either. “I’ve never done martial arts. I took tea ceremony lessons,” she says, instead crediting a love of anime for her headlock technique. “I like anime, so I just sort of imitated what I’ve seen in it.”

I believe he's been receiving palliative care for cancer for some months now.

I believe Carter expressed the fervent desire to live long enough to cast his vote for Kamala. I am assuming that early voting has started in Georgia so he can fulfill this wish.

James Blunt has said if his 20th anniversary rerelease of his album goes to number one, he’ll legally change his name for a day to whatever is the most liked suggestion.

Top of the list, predictably and rather boringly is Blunty McBluntface.

Second, and much funnier if it wins, is Jimmy Saville

I also like the suggestion ‘Bono is a cunt’.

Should be. I sorted out my overseas ballot last week, & will vote this weekend.

It's a blue district, in a blue State, but this year it feels more important than most to make the popular vote for the Democrats as large as possible to make stealing it as difficult as possible.

He looks like he'll struggle to make the weekend, let alone the election.

Poor guy lost the love of his life this time last year; death holds no terror for him.

For a country that is legendary for its witty comedians, why is it that the masses always resort to ______y Mc_____face when challenged with a public naming contest?!

PCs get jobs back after athlete search dismissal https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgnln17zn6o

This stunk. Always came across as a witch hunt, and now the decision to sack them has been described as "irrational and inconsistent".

No surprise that a few months after this Williams was prosecuted for a series of driving offences, failing to respond to Notice of Intended Prosecution letters and lying to police about who was driving her car.
