> [@Skypist](#): > > I would love to hear that he will not get off the hook easily. I’m not sure that running _from_ Romania is a great option for him, since he ran _to_ Romania to evade rape and abuse allegations and scrutiny of his shady dealings. I predict that if he returns to the U.K., he meets the same fate as Capone. They’ll get him on tax evasion. ---

Romania plans to detain the Tates for a month for further investigation. > Romania’s Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) said the four suspects had been detained for an initial 24 hours. A Bucharest court accepted an application by DIICOT to hold Tate and his brother Tristan in custody for a further 30 days, their lawyer Eugen Vidineac said on Friday. Their lawyer says they will appeal.

That is the sort of thing the detective in movies and TV shows picks up on, showing that she is the only one paying attention.

He must have known he’d just dropped a bombshell (on the airwaves, and his career). All I can guess is that he was so bubbled that he assumed everyone listening would just nod and think “That’s no big deal, because everyone knows it’s true.” Or that it would be glossed over, but his pals at the MAGA Bar that night would clap him on the back for it. ---

A number of questions I could ask about this kerfuffle… > **[White men charged as video of attack on Black teens at pool goes viral](https://ca.news.yahoo.com/white-men-charged-video-attack-170450891.html)** > > Two individuals have since been charged with assault. A third unidentified man faces attempted murder charges Two (more minor) observations: 1. Like that Chekovian gun over the fireplace, those pointy metal fenceposts probably weren’t the ideal grappling area. Imagine buddy trying to shove buddy over that fence, but buddy gets sorta struck going over it. 2. Shouldn’t that recording have kept going longer to see what came of old white guy\* throwing black kid in headlock, taking him into the pool, as second white dude jumps in and advances on that black kid? \*haha loses his stupid cigarette after falling into the pool like a clown at the beginning. (hmmmm…yet the still photo shows he _still_ had it?)
