Larry Linville should have tried that too.

Please pardon the side trip:
(excerpt) Clausen once explained his musical process on the series: âThe basic premise of this whole series is the joke, and the jokes come rapid-fire. An old bandleader friend of mine once told me, âYou canât vaudeville vaudeville,â meaning the joke is much funnier if you play the real situation as opposed to playing the music funny."
Excellent advice. For a time, Clausen worked for Elmer Bernstein⌠and hereâs Bernstein putting that to work; the first 20 seconds of âDeathmobileâ:

Good advice.

Just came here to post the same thing.
So much for the official claim in the media that it was an argument between neighbors.
Funny how the narrative shifts depending on the identities of the perpetrator(s) and victim(s).

Really heartbreaking for them, and i hope that the cops that did nothing about this face repercussions.

They are already busy denying that this was a hate crime.

This is tangentially related to the sentence âWe reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done.â
One of the major themes of the episode is that law enforcement is not legally required to help anyone. She examines in detail a number of horrible precedents.

Shocked to read this just now. Hadnât looked at the news all day.
I knew Sunny via the innocence project and was trying to arrange holding her archives for her (primarily Peter Pringle her partner who died a couple of years ago who was also sentenced to death). She couldnât quite get herself to part with them and I had people ready to collect them a couple of times, she lived in quite a rural sanctuary with animals that people came to via the Innocence Project. We always had lovely chats and I was supposed to meet her at a conference recently but it didnât happen.
End the death penalty. Everywhere. Her husband was killed by the state. Her children cast adrift when her parents died while she was in prison. Her parner here was also a survivor of a death sentence.
I called her partner Thomas Pringle but that is his son who is a TD (elected to parliament).

I have had so many arguments with people about that. The police literally are NOT legally obligated to help people. They just arenât. Itâs not their job. Their job is enforcing laws and arresting people accused of breaking laws. This came up at Uvalde, when a lot of people wanted the police charged with something because they refused to go into the school, but they just werenât legally required to. Protect and Serve is a marketing slogan and nothing more.
Interestingly, the one time they do acquire a legal duty to protect someone is when they arrest someone. At that point, they do have a legal duty to protect the person theyâve arrested. Not that they do, or ever get held accountable to that, but they do have a legal duty to protect people in their custody.
