If, God forbid, I ever get locked up, please let me be roommates with this guy.

Surely he's just "misunderstood." 

Cannibal Fratboy Found Not Guilty

Unf**king believable that the young Florida man who murdered two people in their own garage -- then attacked a neighbor who tried to help -- before chewing off one of the victims' faces was found not guilty by reason of insanity. The cops originally assumed Austin Harrouff, then a college sophomore, 

was high on synthetic cathinones (known as bath salts) because they'd never seen something so heinous. But it turns out his toxicology report came back clean. (Because he's telegenic, Harrouff got the chance to tell Phil f**king McGraw: "I hope that something like this never happens again. I never wanted, consciously, to do something like this or I never planned it. I didn't want to do it.") Question: Did anyone check for ANABOLIC STEROIDS? Because clearly he has abused them around the time. I'm not big on virtue-signaling, but there is no doubt in my mind that he would not have been cleared if he didn't "look" the way he does. Our justice system is a laughingstock.

Chaotic events in Afghanistan this weekend appeared to signal the end of 20 years of U.S. efforts against the Taliban and a failed nation-building experiment.

Here's a thread of the conflict's history, as told on the front pages of The New York Times.https://t.co/WnOkaYw4xh

W & Co. wrongly assumed they knew the hopes and dreams of the Afghan people, and absolutely nothing has changed. If this is what (too many) Afghans want, it's impossible to uproot it.

A mentally unstable man is said to have started 14 fires near my old apartment in Chelsea last night, including a restaurant that opened three weeks before the pandemic yet somehow flourished. The owner says this will not stop him and he's already rebuilding.

Imagine being the sole survivor of your brother's attempt at massacring your entire family and your reward is having to face a parole board each year to keep him locked up. Such is the life of Shery Shafer. Yes, her brother was 16 when it happened. But anyone who would repeatedly shoot four family members because he was (rightfully) grounded from going to his prom's after-parties clearly isn't right. More HERE.
