Good luck getting a conviction from a jury. It should have already been tossed on the lack of merits by a judge. The encounter should have never been initiated by police.

“I would like to hear how you would explain to my children what you’re supposed to be.”

The same way Lady Gaga responded when asked what she meant by disco stick.

"It's a penis."

I hate the american culture of not wanting children to know what genitals are and how they work instead of actual sex ed

I hate American culture. Full stop.

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 week ago

Seriously, because it deserves reiterating, fuck American culture. Everything that is good that has come out of this country is because of its counter-culture doing things in spite of it.
