Meet Justin: Going to jail 9 years for a sarcastic quip!


Posted on 07/12/2013 at 06:02 PM | Filed Under Blogs

You're right that statutory rape can be shady. An 18 year old guy going to the slam for sleeping with his willing 16-17 year old girlfriend is beyond retarded. How can the crime in question even be labeled as "rape" in cases where both parties are consenting?

Our legal system isn't the best by any means. Especially considering it's bias in favor of people with money who can afford good lawyers.

Sure, he should have been punished, maybe even had the cops come in to give him a stern talking to. But 8 years? Dang man, kinda steep! 

 I don't like what he said either, though. If I was a moderator on League Of Legends and he said things like that in game too I probably would have suspended his account a couple of months. Aka, hit a gamer where it hurts for him being a diack.

 I don't think your a "black sheep" for wanting people to be civil to each other,JB. Yeah, we have freedom of speech but we're still responsible for what we say.

 My issue is with treating trolls and immature teens like terrorists.  We should not go that far.

Glad your back injury is healing up! As for college, it "does" keep you busy. It's funny because of my memories in college not many of them include "partying hard" as certain movies seem to suggest co-ed life is like.

In the nes Ninja Gaidens Ryu would often help Irene Lu and she was CIA. Of course I don't expect everyone to know that. lol.

The bosses sound brutal,Chris. I bet the janky camera is a pain in the ass during fights like the one with the helicopter. lol Still, I can tolerate a so/so camera if I like a particular game well enough.

Well, holy gadzooks guys! A good samaritan paid Justin's bail money! Guess we will not be getting to see that interesting trial unfold afterall!

I think he'll get off. During his trial I mean. Assuming Justin's only offense was a violent yet sarcastic tongue in cheek facebook retort and it was reported by someone in Canada no less, there isn't anything they can do to keep him much longer.

Trying to make Justin an example of "internet justice" just makes the state government and law enforcement agents involved look like a bunch of ignorant bullies who are a hair trigger away from jumping the gun. Aka, I don't think this will become the precedent by which to handle similar cases. Instead, it'll be forever seen as a monumental goof!

Yeah, seems like whenever someone tries to add too much depth to a game protagonist is backfires in oddly amusing ways! lol.

In this game's defense it was probably made with 15-18 year olds in mind.

Beyond that, they need to install a ninja camera-drone that keeps up with the ninjas. They iz too fast,J!

Must be awesome to have a son that appreciates the same hobby. Fuse looked intriguing for a 3rd person shooter. Tell me later how it pans out,Celt!

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge Review

I still want this. NG3: Razor's Edge has been getting mixed reviews everywhere but it still seems like my kind of game. I admit those crazed suicide bombers that grab you seem annoying,Julian. lol. You poor ninja bastard!

  I had planned on picking up this game this month until I saw Dragon's Dogma for 29.99. That swayed my decision right there. (Aka, a potentially longer meatier game for less money.)

  As for "the immaturity of the storyline" I understand how others might percieve it that way. Still, I like cheesy action-movie-esque escapism sometimes. It's weird though because I've noticed a shift where we used to appreciate Japanese storytelling in games but now the "immature" card gets pulled a lot.(I'm not just referring to this review. I've noticed it elsewhere too.) I keep wondering if that's because games such as NG3 RE are in fact "immature" or if there's simply a cultural barrier we're no longer able to surpass. Then again, Japan does make games for a younger audience a lot of the time. As I understand it, playing games as an adult is shameful over there.

  Personally, I refuse to be ashamed though. I like sexy & bloody fun-time and whether the silly narrative rolls with its' own ridiculousness or tries to be earnest & serious, I can usually come to appreciate it either way.

  Gameplay wise, you are likely correct. NG3 was considered "inferior" by fans of the series and though most of them liked the improvements in Razor's Edge, they would still probably tell you Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 is better. Being most fans of the series are about the brutal difficulty and frames per second, I cannot claim to be as picky as them. I'd simply be happy that Momiji,Ayane,and Kasumi are playable characters & the hidden challenge rooms have some gruesome demonic enemies which look enjoyable to kill.

I remember wanting a Lynx but I got an snes instead. Streets of rage was "decent" but SOR 2 blew me away!

Kid chameleon was aight. It was fun turning into a samurai or even a Jason Vorhees look alike. There were so many 80's and 90's tropes crammed into that game it was lulz-tastic!
