- whatever it is, I'm not seeing it -- nm - znufrii Jan 31, 06:06 16
  - Hint: Memento -- nm - nubby Jan 31, 06:07 15
    - never saw it, and still not seeing where the headline disagrees with the story. -- nm - znufrii Jan 31, 06:11 11
      - ... - Don Homer Jan 31, 06:13 10
        
        not according to the article I read - znufrii Jan 31, 06:15
        
        Re-read. Second to last paragraph indicates he was convicted of simple assault. The story is poorly written, but the headline is correct. -- nm - TWuG Jan 31, 06:14 8
        
        the *lead* paragraph indicates he was convicted of simple assault. -- nm - znufrii Jan 31, 06:17 5
        
        hmm. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 31, 06:21
        
        Heh. I got so bogged down in trying to find the issue, I missed that. It's still an atrociously written article. -- nm - TWuG Jan 31, 06:19
        
        you are correct. I concede. poorly written nevertheless if others missed what we did. -- nm - the amanda nones Jan 31, 06:19 2
        
        I will certainly agree to the point that it's a crappy article nonetheless. -- nm - znufrii Jan 31, 06:20
        
        and by "we" I do not mean "you and me." -- nm - the amanda nones Jan 31, 06:20
        
        oh you're right. the journalism is still crappy. I'm wrong, but because they write *poorly.* -- nm - the amanda nones Jan 31, 06:17 1
        
        It is awful. We need Reagen to dissect all the errors made. -- nm - TWuG Jan 31, 06:20
    - Bigger hint: the headline doesn't match the story. -- nm - nubby Jan 31, 06:09 2
      - Sure it does. The guy convicted faced two charges and was convicted on simple assault and will be retried for aggravated assault. - TWuG Jan 31, 06:13 1
        
        right "but he was convicted of a lesser charge..." would have been, you know, nice. -- nm - the amanda nones Jan 31, 06:18

- Yeah, I don't know how he'd support two wives on that. -- nm - Roger More Jan 31, 04:17
- probably made more sense for a russian to retire to a dacha and raise rabbits, here you'd have to have 500,000 raised by robots -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 30, 23:48 1
