NEWS: Killer Dog-Breeding, Quasi-Incestual, Neo-Nazi Lawyers Finally Disbarred

because gay marriage isn't legal in san franci - wait a second!

This is admittedly off topic, but subrosa seems to be an expert on the subject, and I am curious. Are there laws against two gay individuals entering into a contractual agreement that holds their property is jointly owned, and authorizes the other to make specific medical decisions, and the other things we associate with marriage?

Fucking Texas passed a constitutional amendment banning gay marraige, or anything resembling gay marriage. I don't know if the enabling legislation has passed, though, or if anyone has challenged the law.

Kind of in the same league as sword-swallowing.

Perhaps he always wanted to be sword-swallower but, due to being very, very stupid (forgive my presumption, but I tend to follow the rule of thumb that it is generally safe to assume that "neo-Nazi" and "very, very stupid" are synonymous), he got a bit confused about precisely what being a sword-swallower entailed and ended up getting things kind of the wrong way around.

Still, its a step up from hiding a watch up your ass anyway...

Maybe, breeding and selling vicious dogs is one of the Aryan Brotherhood's sources of revenue and maybe they aren't overly concerned about where that revenue comes from. For many people, money takes precedence over ideology.

This made me think of Sir Didymus!!!

Admittedly, I've not seen The Labyrinth for a while and Sir Didymus may in fact be a fox rather than a Yorkie but I think that, in Sir Didymus, we have a fair approximation of a fighting Yorkie's likely appearance and behaviour.

Nope. But a contractual relationship between two people doesn't affect the third-party rights and responsibilities that are conferred upon a married couple. One cannot contract one's way into forcing the state to accept joint tax returns or forcing a hospital to allow you spousal visitation time or any number of other third-party issues.

Would a medical power of attorney require the hospital to grant access? I mean, eventually, if they chose to act like total douchebags.

Yeah, like the big one, health insurance.

Ding! You are correct, sir.

I remember hearing about this when it was going on, and thinking to myself, what the fuck?!

Or sharing your life with someone for 30 years, co-owning everything. Then you die and said person has to pay inheritance tax on anything you've owned jointly.

Update:

Knoller gets 15 years.

One of the sickest cases ever.

Having only been bitten on the face by a dog, I can only imagine the terror and pain Whipple went through before she dies. That is going to give me nightmares.

Fuck, cases like this made me wish there was some sort of afterlife, just so these fuckers could suffer properly (like being killed over and over again by large dogs).

But I was right, wasn't I? No other aspect of this article had any explanation aside from, "Holy balls, are some people fuckin' fucked right up!" The Aryan whatnot did actually have a fairly thorough explanation.

Ergo: I win thread.

WOW

Why did you post this to current events?

I see nothing beyond tabloid journalism at it's worst. Why the fuck would anyone outside of SF care?

Because at the time I posted it, the fact that they lost their license was a current event and I was a current events editor. Not a difficult concept.

But keep grinding that axe, Panda.

Huh. I guess these four pages of comments are only from San Franciscans. Weird. I didn't notice that. My apologies.

No need it is sharp enough now.

Not from where I sit.
