HappySkullsplitterWhat a hypocrite
T00l_shedoh. i had no idea he is this kind of human shit. shame.

🌞 Alexander Daychilde 🌞It was pretty quick. After I heard he passed, I noticed an hour-old notification on my phone from a paper saying he had been taken to hospital an was in “good spirits”. So whatever it was was quick.
1984I only agree because I tend to want that for all humans, even ones that do evil things. heh.

Vandals_handleNorris was known for his spinning back kick, Superfoot Wallace was more known for the roundhouse
“He wrote conservative columns, opposed gun control, abortion, and evolution in some contexts, and made strong statements like a 2012 video with his wife Gena warning that Barack Obama’s re-election could lead to “1,000 years of darkness” for the country.”
Lol
Barack Obama’s re-election could lead to “1,000 years of darkness” for the country."
He was kinda right on that one. Not that Obama ruined the country, but all the racist assholes who lost their minds when it happened.
LucidlethargyAll fueled by this asshole that just kicked it.
He opposed controlling one’s aim. Just spray randomly in front of you and you can take down an entire army without getting hit. Dirt bikes with rocket launchers also help.
he also is best buds with BENJAMIN netanyahu too, even benny “celebrated his life” with a social media post.
What are the theological implications of there being pregnant people in the afterlife?
M0oP0oLook, angels do have junk, ok??? God.
Zeus has entered the chat
Why wouldn’t there be preggos in heaven?
You think God raped Mary and then stopped raping? Think like Mariska Hargitay for a minute.
Well, assuming there are pregnant people in the afterlife, regardless of how they got there, would mean:
Or
If a baby cannot be born there… lmao…
If a baby can be born there, then that means that wherever/whatever the afterlife is, it can self sustain.
If it can self sustain, it either grows bigger/more populous OR it isn’t the final destination, as it were. Both are hilarious to imagine. Never ending growth of immortals is fucking insane and makes a fun sci-fi (faith-fi?) thought experiment or story; not being the final destination is similarly fascinating, either would be fun late night campfire topics.
damn. didn’t know he was conservative. or dead.
Eh to be fair a lot of these older action stars are conservative but maybe not like the conservatives of today. We will never know how much of a bigot they actually where, and that might be a great boon.
He wrote columns praising Trump during the 2024 election campaign. He made videos warning Obama would doom the planet for a thousand years and Trump was our only savior in 2016.
He absolutely was like the conservatives of today and I personally know people who got on the Maga train in large part because of him. We know exactly how much of a bigot Norris was. Good riddance
HanrahanHe was a racist asshole conservative-fuck.
What did he do? Im going to guess its this, by googling on what usually upsets people here:
Yeah he was, but thats the real world. I dont know, im not even one bit surprised that an 86 year old man has these opinions.
I think he made cool movies. Im not here to be his friend or like him as a person.
I probably wouldnt like or be friends with some of the Lemmy guys here either. But we can still share a good time without believing everyone here would get along perfectly. Of course we wouldnt.
He was an absolute streaming pile of rotting dog shit.
The world is just a little.bit brighter without him in it.
Most +80 year olds are
merdaverseTechnically true. Most +80 year olds are dead
the signs were there, texas ranger, its his whole persona.
Is this a reformatted Charlie Kirk meme? lmao
hulk hogan would be a closer meme.
20celloWhat a way to find out the news…
Barrens chat is going to be in a month-long state of mourning over this.
Oh no, they’ll be too distracted to tell me where Mankrik’s wife is. I’m never going to find her at this rate.
I hate how he became a meme for badassery.
He was a bible thumping bigoted racist piece of shit. Good riddance.
I think that’s exactly why he got popular…
At this point I just assume you only get famous by being a piece of shit
In this case, it’s a shame it didn’t go to court. I don’t want to defend an actual predator, but generally there are lots of accusations, not one person.
That’s not to say that it didn’t happen. It absolutely could have and we should give any victim the benefit of the doubt. The court case not proceeding due to a technicality doesn’t seem like justice served for anyone nor for society.
It says something, or at least suggests something, that the charges were dropped because she didn’t continue to file the proper forms on time. And then not only the sexual assault accusations, but the accusations that his sister helped in creating a “hostile work environment”? Stinks to high heaven of revenge accusations.
Any competent attorney would have made sure that that paperwork was filed on time, and she should have no problem getting a competent attorney with such a financially lucrative target.
And then of course there are the long running rumors that Diesel is gay, and just hasn’t come out because that doesn’t play well for an action star…
I’d never thought about the attorney working for free on the basis of the win. However, if she was a victim of a sexual assault, it could also be self sabotage as she psychologically is finding it hard to deal with or wants to avoid reliving it.
So, I’d still tend to believe her unless we have evidence otherwise or a jury of her peers says otherwise.
Does Diesel have any track record of these kinds of accusations?
Not that I’m aware of. In real life I know people who have been accused with no history also. It was proven true.
Not all accusations are true, but part of the lessons of #metoo was to believe the victims of sexual assault. Also, the abundance of literature on the subject. Sure, it could be a false accusation, so we shouldn’t condemn him without investigation or trial bittnhats why there should be one.
Miatrials in the case of sexual assault just leaves an open question for both the accuser and accused. In some instances, a civil case is taken when the criminal case falls apart. Often the problem is it’s just a he said, she said situation.
So, I believe her but also don’t hold him accountable, if that makes sense. Absolutely, he should be held to account. That’s my point. He hasn’t been and there are questions about her not proceeding, that we don’t know the answer to.
All of that is well trodden ground. But we are still left with the big problem of giving carte blanche to accusations, like we’ve been through with the Salem witch trials and McCarthyism-- when you give the power to destroy someone’s reputation with an accusation alone, and the accusation is left there doing damage and is never followed up on, what kind of justice can you really have? Because 999 sexual assault accusations can be true and there can be that one where you just have a crazy evil person taking advantage of that carte blanche
Remember the lady who said that Biden tried to rape her in the hallway of Congress? And then she went on to write blog essays about how sexy she found Vladimir Putin? You still have people saying that Biden should be held to account for that ridiculous bullshit, some simply because they’re terrified to be seen as one who refuses to believe women no matter what the circumstances.
And I’m not suggesting anything like the return to the days of putting victims on trial, but accusations need to be able to sustain at least more weight than tissue paper before we casually destroy lives just so we can say we believed women.
Doesn’t seem like his life is destroyed. It also seems like most people were unaware. I agree, in principle though. We should find that middle ground. The middle ground involves believing the victim and investigating.
The whole purpose of procedural fairness in trials os to protect the innocent against accusations. In sexual assault, it seems that the concept of procedural fairness is overriding it’s purpose of protecting the accused.
