I dunno guys. The initial interactions between Rekieta and Eric July that I remember seeing were cordial, and then subsequent ones were increasingly tense. I think that as a human it kind of sucks to see someone fall apart so hard. I haven't watched any of Nick's content in a long time but when I saw some recent screenshots from a stream - even though I was on board with laughing at his stupidity - it still kind of made me go "damn, what the hell happened to that guy?" and just feel kind of bad.

I wouldn't necessarily think EJ couldn't feel the same way and want to use the fact that he's in a position to help. When I think about it more (and this is even before the arrest thing) , Nick would have looked the best he possibly could have if he took Eric July up on his offer. He would have earned a degree of good will and maybe eventually got some people to give him another chance after enough time building himself back up. The only thing he would have lost would be the ability to be the cool drunk aloof internet guy who knows everything and has it all together which no one really believed anymore to begin with except him and his shrinking circle of retards.

I wonder who he's gonna hire for his lawyer.

I'm all about a-logging but let's try to be realistic and say the person here who really deserves all the logging are the Racketeers. July barely registers. I mean what a galactic train wreck. I can't imagine what kind of event short of someone dying is going to dethrone this as the top story of the year. I think you're genuinely mistaking the general sentiment of schadenfreude for fat faggot Frog finally getting assblasted to the point of no return by a random YouTube hustler who merely checked the CG boxes better than CG as some superhero himself.

This is Total Tardmageddon, I'm sure some where down the line July will start making some big mistakes, no need to jump the gun yet to lessen the impact. So far, even his "mistakes" are making him look better than the rest of the Sektur. If has a true lolcow within, he will unnaturally cling to some aspect of his ascendancy.

Absolutely.

July is like a 5 on the scale that Rackets just hit 100 on.

Rackets is so bad that he's going to make July look better, and make everybody who was AGAINST July (like EVS) look that much worse.

July is better at "The Internet" than Rackets and EVS combined.

He's going to outlast all his critics by remaining the "Least Awful" of the bunch.

I predict July won't descend to full-blown Lolcow for a few more years. He'll be held up and away from that fate by the updraft created by his critics self-immolating.
 
Not to encourage more slap fighting, but…someone did ask July about the current situation.

I never really followed Nick that much even in his heyday but clips from those last few streams actually shocked me. Prison might be the only thing that barely keeps him alive, until someone finds out about his favorite accessory.

Man we went from Rittenhouse to the House of Rackets in the blink of an eye. I most definitely will be watching Legal Mindset's coverage of this one!

Potentially Criminal beat him to the punch.

Live now.


Confirmed what I thought, the firearms bit is about having guns when you're on drugs.

Addendum: I forgot we were looking at a 3 day weekend. If Rackets doesn't get arraigned tomorrow, he's in until tuesday...

Well okay now you are starting to sound reasonable, but I highly doubt he will attain the heights of faggotry currently attained by Scivergate & friends. Now please let's wait to expend our autistic energies until he does something significantly stupid or hypocritical. This ain't it. If you're a soyjak just waiting for a friend to point at July, you're going to be waiting a long time.

Oh and stop with the gay exaggerated strawman shit. Pretty sure no one here thinks he's a saint.

Here's the rub: I was trying to be reasonable pretty much the whole time.

I'll happily wait until time proves me right before I post my "I told you so"s.

The "gay exaggerated strawman shit" was meant to be a directed response to a specific person, not the board or thread in general.

If you couldn't figure that out from the use of quotes, you might want to go to the doctor and have yourself checked out for niggerfaggotaids.

I like the sperg energy, it's just misapplied. But jokes on you because I already injected myself with niggerfaggotaids so I could develop immunity. I only have mild retardation now. Thanks Kiwi Farms!

We can't let NULL keep getting away with this! How will Globohomo secure world peace through communism-induced famine if people keep building up immunity to niggerfaggotaids?

We must abolish the farms, so the niggerfaggotaids can FLOW!!!

EDIT: Also, you underestimate the totality of my sperg energy. I can, will, and have spread it around the internet like methed-out farmer with a supercharged manure spreader. I don't sperg at specific targets, it's an area of effect spell.

The firearm bit might be a modifier for the controlled substance charge. If they got them both at the same time, it might have been at their house. Having drugs in house = bad. Having drugs+guns = worse. I can't be arsed to look up statutes to figure out either way though.

Hard to say. I'd expect drugs + guns + kids if they were picked up at home, unless the kids were out being fed by a stray grandparent. Routine traffic stop might have been the precipitating incident, with insufficient proof to go for a variation of driving while impaired charge.

Midwest Safety gets a lot of their bodycam footage from Minnesota, but the "best" clips usually involve Resisting Arrest, etc.

Let's ignore the fact that the wife is also in it.... so, two/three days to talk terms and conditions with July, and to get rid of the drugs and guns.... technically possible.... although still unlikely since even junkies with the best intentions are fuck-ups...

Eric gave out his offer yesterday actually. Hell I think it wasn't even 24 hours before this arrest happened. Shit has been moving quick for Nick in the worst way possible
