"Hold on, let me fix that ... How many of you guys haven't seen The Princess Bride."
... hands start popping ...
"Y'all NEED to fix that."
Because sometimes, I just have to get my justice for having one of these little freaks introduce me to the Kardashians. Last week, so I could know, for sure, we had a shared meme, I took three minutes of class time and made my baby calc'ers watch ...

Judge has seated the court, defendants are standing....
Unanimously - not sudden passion - 10 years in prison. Fine of 0 dollars. Remanded to Texas Department of Corrections.
She will be eligible for parole at 50% of actual time served, or 5 years.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I had a co-worker who displayed a picture of Jim Mattis at his workspace with the text "Make killing great again". It turns out this slogan was somewhat popular among military people of a conservative bent, but that doesn't make it right. I think the attitude is borderline demonic. And there are many, many memes out there that are bad. I really hate meme culture in general, to be honest. (I think it's flippant and substitutes for serious thought.)
For better or worse, when you are a police officer, talking about how you hate everybody (especially black people) just isn't going to fly. You're a public servant and held to higher standards. This is especially important at a time when public trust in police is at a low because of so many high profile bad cops (like the guy in Florida who went around planting meth on random motorists, or the many bad shootings)."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Unclear whether there will be 'victim impact' statements -- Bothom's family is still in the room, Amber Guyger has left, but it's possible she'll be brought back in for the statements.

CP: You know why!
Strawberry: Meme, not quote - but the Minions are not originally good guys. One Minion movie revolves around them inadvertently becoming heroes while trying to find a bad guy to follow.
Adrift/KG: Pinterest PRELOADS comments. Could we at least use evidence with ACTUAL attribution instead of a freaking guess?"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
