JFC why did I- stare at the picture- read the times's detailed account of the death- read the explanation of why fire is the worst way to die- read the comments- all of the above

Incidentally people really need to be disabused of the notion that there are all these murderers getting off because of their harsh past and upbringing. Does not happen. Even "insanity" defenses are not only rare and hard to prove, but lead to more-or-less the same result -- lifetime involuntary commitment instead of imprisonment.

it seems pretty clear he's insane and yes I would be fine w/ him getting lifetime involuntary commitment

Legal insanity is much narrower though. I'd have to look up the exact version NY follows, but it basically has to reach the level of not being able to comprehend either the act you are undertaking or the fact that it is wrong. I don't think this guy fits into that category.
― Hurting, Monday, 19 December 2011 17:02 (twelve years ago) link
huh why do I have a soft on crime rep, I think all people who own cars should be jailed
― iatee, Monday, 19 December 2011 17:02 (twelve years ago) link
so wrong its right
i.e you don't get the insanity defense just for "he needed meds" "he was unstable" "he was a fucked up dude" etc.

the elevator-chopped-in-half building is a block from my work and the elevator-set-on-fire building is four blocks from my apartment

$1800 for a 1BR in the less nice part of Prospect Heights? At first that sounded insane, but then I saw that it was an elevator building

it's totally legal for an elevator to decapitate a bike messenger btw because bike messengers are obnoxious

Well, to be fair, it was the Mets in the NL Championship Series he was watching so not really just "a baseball game".
― shakur rump (I left my login in El Sandboxo), Monday, 19 December 2011 21:28 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah. It was more just a "lol @ sad office life" comment. I've already done the "working late but screwing around" thing before, wondering all the while wtf I was doing.

visited the grand central apple store, it's enormous and doesn't really feel like 'a store'. anyway it's a big win for apple, most famous train station in the country is now just an apple advertisement. mta shoulda got a better deal for the space but I dont think they had much leverage in the discussions.
― iatee, Tuesday, 20 December 2011 00:52 (twelve years ago) link
any idea why the previous rent was so low for that space?
― nice catch cuauhtemoc blanco niño (dayo), Tuesday, 20 December 2011 00:54 (twelve years ago) link
well it's not that it was low or high it's that apple will be making $$$$ and iirc w/ other apple stores the city has managed to get a cut.
― iatee, Tuesday, 20 December 2011 01:07 (twelve years ago) link
basically the value of that space as a restaurant (which it was before) or some random retail store and as 'an apple store' are very different things
― iatee, Tuesday, 20 December 2011 01:08 (twelve years ago) link
yeah - just pointing out that apple is paying something like 5x what the previous tenants were for that space
dunno what the revenue sharing deal is w/ the other locations
― nice catch cuauhtemoc blanco niño (dayo), Tuesday, 20 December 2011 01:09 (twelve years ago) link
yeah but they're really making their presence known there
