It is not illegal, it is a de facto result of how our trials by jury work. It is not a good idea to mention it before a judge if you are on a jury though.

The surviving family's wishes are generally considered during sentencing, but the weight given depends on the judge.

Exactly. The saying isn't "We're here! We're queer! Thanks for having us!"

It's been decades since I've read it, so I wasn't sure if I remembered that part correctly or I would have mentioned it. I recall another part where one of the princes gets raped that was really messed up as well. And just a lot of rape in general in that book that I thought was gross. I recall really being disturbed by it more than I was by The Clan of the Cave Bear because the latter presented the rape of Ayla (as a child) in an intentionally gross, traumatic and disturbing way, while Anne Rice wrote the rape of Beauty in an erotic way.

Anyway, both books frequent banned books lists. I read many banned books during my time at the bookstore.

You really don't. Whatever you are imagining, it's more than that.

Now imagine reading it as a 19-year old who grew up without the internet.

I suspect they are worried about weakening their current Gerrymander.

As a young man I worked in a bookstore and when I discovered the amount of smut in romance novels it was pretty shocking.

Then I read the Claiming of Sleeping Beauty.

I was not prepared for that.

If you can't even meet the low bar of an indictment, you are unprepared for a trial.

Literally being used as an intensifier bothers me less than inflammable meaning both flammable and not flammable.

Then why don't you just declassify the video and let us all see how 'righteous' your actions were?

Can we stop trying to beatify this psychopath? It's possible to be against violence and still condemn Kirk and his violent legacy.

 

I recently got a fairphone and I want to move my pictures, contacts, messages, etc. from my old android phone to the new one. My initial search found some apps that do this but they look like absolute privacy nightmares. What is a good way to accomplish this without handing my phone contents out like candy to whichever malevolent spyware developer?
