    Devil, while you are the dumbest guy on the board, that's not your biggest sin.

    The fact that you are unable to laugh at yourself, or just let a funny comment go by without trying to defend yourself, is what makes you insufferable.

    Besides, this isn't a societal problem to be concerned with. Killing a bad ref would be a public service. It's a responsibility too few are willing to accept.

    It's killing a ref for no good reason we should be worried about.

    What does killing a ref have to do with Remy's kid?

    It's a reference to a previous thread. Devil thinks it's ok to kill a bad ref.

    Which is not what I said, but trolls don't care about that.

    Jared pleads guilty.

    So either he is accepting the inevitability of life in prison or there's a mitigation strategy at sentencing.

    It actually comes across as somewhat cowardly to me.

    He knew he was going to be convicted, but doesn't have to sit through a trial, and have all the evidence presented against him in open court.

    This is what he did:

    And, he justified it, even as he plead guilty:

    Interesting that he brought the daughter into it. Reminds me of a story I read a few years ago out of Ohio:

    Used a shovel to beat the crap out of neighbors. Got 2 years probation.

    "The first thing I could think of was my nephews because I love them like I love my own children," Wine told the judge. "I hope you can see the person I am, and this is not me. I don't ever want to hurt anyone."

    Life without parole is mandatory for 1st degree murder in Massachusetts.

    Well there you go. I guess he just saw the inevitability of it.

    Or maybe his parents stopped paying the lawyer.
