    They didn't really confirm whether the incident when she was a teenager was real or not, did they? I know the one cop asked her if it was BS too. I'm under the assumption that was real and fucked her up for life mentally.

    She claimed it was legit. If not, the rape as a child was probably more than enough to cause long term issues (red bandana used in the act when she was a kid)

    I'm always surprised when I click the link and it still doesn't take me to a paywall.

    I found the theory that they didn't even know what they were stealing until they got there, to be strange.

    Why not have her actually transfer the money and tell the "hit man" to do the job before arresting her?

    I would love to read a longform piece on what it's like for each side's "people" when two celebrities start dating. Ring a bell for anybody?

    Insane to imagine how that must feel. "We know who murdered your whole family and we can/will do exactly nothing about it"

    It’s amazing to me how many supposedly progressive people in Oregon believe he should never be released.
    yeah, there is no reason for him to be in prison at this point beyond retribution.

    What are we doing with a prison? Is it a pound of flesh or is it really for rehabilitation? Because there's nothing in any of these articles I read about prisons to point to rehabilitation.

    WTF

    The lawsuit says that after she decided to leave because of the host’s bizarre behavior, he followed her into the studio unit she’d rented, locked the door, held her in a chair against her will, and masturbated in front of her, ejaculating into a trash can. As Lapayowker fled, according to the complaint, the host said, “Don’t forget to leave me a positive review on Airbnb.” The man, who said the encounter was consensual, wasn’t charged.

    100 percent that, but parts, especially the end, definitely gave me some perspective on parenthood that I often do not have when dealing with my kids.

    Agreed. Not something I would normally read, but it was excellent.
