Re: Affluenza kid, sounds like he was not only entitled, but dumb as a fucking brick. - Reagen Dec 29, 13:30 20
- not that I care to, but I know nothing about this backstory. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 29, 13:33 18
  - 16-year old rich partying kid, drives drunk and kills four people. Pleads "Affluenza," too rich to know better. Gets probation instead of prison. -- nm - JaxLangSyne Dec 29, 13:36

      - i don't care about the 'it could have been worse' - 4 innocent people died. - Andie Dec 29, 13:39 1
        
        He wasn't home alone. He essentially had his own house. The parents lived down the street in some huge compound. - JaxLangSyne Dec 29, 13:42
    - I've seen the argument made that the judge basically set a trap for him with the lenient sentence - Reagen Dec 29, 13:37 10

        on my opinion only - I"m being snotty - ignore me. It just galls me. - Epiphany Dec 29, 13:46 6
        
        I'm just saying - that sentence doesn't seem so light right now - Reagen Dec 29, 13:48 4
        
        yeah, but that is kind of a kick in the balls to the people who died. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 29, 13:49 1
        
        the alternative was that he plead out to a tiny sentence and be free and clear in months. -- nm - Reagen Dec 29, 13:55
        
        He killed 4 people and is on the hook for ten years. Our ideas of light differ. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 29, 13:49 1
        
        well I also find that the US takes DUI lighter than I'd like (and lighter than Canada takes it) - Reagen Dec 29, 13:53

        Summer. Marvel super hero, and other tent-pole movies. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 29, 13:49
        
        they likely have deals with the companies though, they would have had to do it -- nm - Emperor Beak Dec 29, 13:47
      - not necessarily the $, but the screens -- nm - Emperor Beak Dec 29, 13:42 2

- There probably aren't any that could out-do Jurassic World either. -- nm - Max Dec 29, 13:27
- What I think is interesting is that another time period that CW* said shouldn't result in huge boxoffice has resulted in huge boxoffice. - Auld TWuG Syne Dec 29, 13:26 9
  - And as I said, that wisdom was sheer stupidity. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 29, 13:36 6
