I was happy forgetting he exists. Can we just do that?

[–] foggy 24 points 1 year ago

Once he's locked away I'm game.

And aid prefer to only hear that he's been locked up; nothing else until that happens or fails to happen.

So you're saying there's a chance we may never see or hear from him again?

[–] QuantumStorm 38 points 1 year ago

Fucking hopefully. And hopefully we never hear about him again because he's rotting behind bars.

Tate won’t be able to leave the country. He also will not be allowed to be “in close proximity with any of the other defendants, any of the witnesses or any of the alleged victims and their immediate family,” his spokesperson, Mateea Petrescu, said in a statement.

What about making TikTok’s? Please say he can’t.

[–] Pandantic 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why? Why release someone on house arrest who is a FUCKING RAPIST AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING GANG LEADER? How is that in the best interests of anyone but this POS?

What do you mean? Clearly it benefits the people he paid off to get out. That’s how it works for rich people.

Unless of course you royally piss off the super rich and then you’re epsteined.

Hopefully they charge him with something.

[–] Flyswat 1 points 1 year ago

That he did, of course.
