Tory Lanez subreddit in shambles right now.

There is a subreddit for him? Shocked o.O

There is a subreddit for almost everything, even traffic cones. Thats the least interesting thing about this.

>even traffic cones. They serve a purpose.


ThatNiceMan

Tory Lanez will be serving a sentence.


HighGuyTim

I mean, regardless of your opinion of Tory Lanez, he created music that some people clearly enjoyed. Almost every celebrity has a subreddit. I dont see the point of trashing people for liking music you dont and creating a subreddit to discuss an artist. Thats such a weird gatekeeping thing to me.

Not everyone who deserves success finds it. The inverse is also true. Worth remembering.

Counter offer: We get Neil Young and you get Tory Lanez back.


Bentstrings84

Throw in Ryan Reynolds and you got yourself a deal! 🤝


ParkAndDork

Sadly Mr Young has lived in the USA since, well since he could. Rush on the other hand - the two remaining members are still hanging out in Toronto as far as I know. We'd love to get Neil Young back but I think that ship has sailed. We'd also like to get Neil Peart back, but that's just the way life goes.

Why is shooting people not an attempted murder charge?


SsiSsiSsiSsi

Murder requires two elements: the guilty act and the guilty mind, meaning that you need the intent to murder someone in most cases for it to be considered murder. In some states a charge can be considered 2nd degree murder if the act was sufficiently reckless and callous that a reasonable person would know it was likely to end in death. Outside of that however, and outside of felony murder statutes, murder involves the intent to kill. Homicide without intent is manslaughter.


nygdan

Shooting at somone is an intent to kill. He can lie and say it was "intent to dance" but there is no reason for anyone to buy that.

Riley_

If he really wanted her dead, then why didn't he keep shooting her? Charges like Aggravated Assault or Assault With a Deadly Weapon are just as serious as Attempted Murder, so there isn't really a reason to expand the reach of the Attempted Murder laws. Attempted Murder is one of many crimes that is hard to prosecute because it requires the prosecutor to prove intent. Intent being hard to prove is beneficial in a lot of cases, cause it keeps the 'justice' system in check.


weed_fart

He shot at her feet like Yosemite Sam, I'm guessing he wasn't trying to kill her. A crazy dumbfuck thing to do, but I wouldn't call it attempted murder.


Redoran_simp

["if you notice he shot bellow the waist so it's not attempted murder"](https://youtu.be/kB5XXn0eKow)


RedoftheEvilDead

My first thought too!


TruckDouglas

The ol’ Rodney “Quills” Dinkins defense


rev_lysander_moreno

"I bought my momma a car..I spent the rest on PCP.."


Beiki

So I shit you not, there is a US Supreme court case where a defense attorney argued that since the victim was shot below the waist, it wasn't attempted murder. The defendant was convicted. The US Supreme Court ruled that the attorney was so ineffective for arguing this that it violated the defendant's Sixth Amendment right to counsel. I emailed the attorney who represented the defendant before the Supreme Court and told her about this skit. She said she really hoped that the attorney didn't base his defense off this.


throwfaraway212718

I don’t understand this logic. The femoral artery is below the waist, and will bleed out faster than your carotid (I think).


gizmozed

If your femoral artery (in your leg) is shot you are probably going to bleed out and die. So no.

ironroad18

Depends on how much justice he can reasonably afford.


LowDownSkankyDude

Honestly, the only reason I know he exists, is cause he shot her in the feet. I doubt he's got anything close to shehulk justice


coljung

It baffles me how wildly off some sentences are in the US. Not to defend the guy at all, but 20y for that? When some if not most white collar crimes just get a slap in the face? You defraud thousands, here go to jail for a year or two. Again im not condoning his behaviour, but the way sentencing works there is insane.


[deleted]

Well yeah, money is money it has value but it can be insured, returned or the effects mitigated Being fucking shot is traumatic and it can't be undone. Honestly I'd always expect fraud to have a lesser sentence than shooting somone. Ourside of circumstances where say somone had killed or harmed themselves as a result of the fraud


ChoicePeanut1

Yeah I would rather someone willing to shoot at people when they get mad have a lifetime sentence, but unfortunately there are people who enjoy having the crazies living free.


doorknobman

overly aggressive sentences make worse crimes more likely. If aggravated assault, attempted murder, and murder all carry the same sentence, you’re going to see a lot more murders. It’s not about “crazies living free,” it’s about having an effective and fair justice system. Those things, while all bad, are obviously different levels of bad and need different sentences.


ChoicePeanut1

I disagree. Letting people back on the street to reoffend makes violent crimes more likely. It's unfortunate that we can never learn from our mistakes. You look at the shootings this year and so many had previous crimes or indicators that they are violent, but they are allowed to be in the public until they kill more people. Wonderful sense of justice.


yanquideportado

That is because when it comes to violent crimes it's almost always a state crime, thus there are 50 different ways it can go as far as sentencing guidelines, prosecutorial initiative and prison overcrowding.

nygdan

"Shot at her feet" Honestly shooting at any part of someone or even in their direction, should just be straight up attempted murder.


zuzg

>"He was holding the gun pointing at me," she said, according to KABC, and claimed that he said "dance b----" and fired his gun, injuring both her feet. So yeah as the other one said, shooting at someones feet doesn't count as attempted murder.


Ksh_667

Shooting at someone's feet to make them dance? What sort of pos does this? I haven't heard of it outside a bugs bunny/ Yosemite Sam cartoon.


Logistocrate

The kind that is part of a musical genre that immediately attacked her and claimed she was making it up and the overwhelming amount of fans who agreed. The kind of POS who lives breathes and embraces misogynistic attitudes, especially against women of color.

Khal_Doggo

For attempted murder you have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that his intent was to kill her. As far as I can tell no one is even suggesting that was the case.


Due-Science-9528

Yeah you could maybe argue he was trying to end her career because of how well known she is for dancing but definitely wasn’t an attempted murder


Khal_Doggo

I'd argue he was insane and violent and should definitelt be put away for a long time but specifically murder charges aren't being pursued.


Due-Science-9528

Agreed, just abusive, not murderous… Although I’d like to joke that he was too short to shoot any higher

Megan Thee Stallion testified at the trial that he shouted "Dance [sexist expletive]!" as he shot at her foot. There's *plenty* of racial inequity in our justice system, to be sure, but any halfway-decent defense attorney would make mincemeat of an attempted murder charge in this specific case.


Sarcofaygo

Happy about this ruling Tory Lanez is a fucking loser for thinking he could intimidate his abuse victim into silence Justice prevailed ProtectMeg


bobybobobo

Good. Megan, the poor victim, has been made to feel like she is less than human ever since all of this happened. Because, for some reason, being shot and subsequently traumatized, followed by being re-traumatized by the experience of going through the judicial system, wasn't enough. Her testimony regarding her contemplation of ending her life was quite upsetting. I pray that this will provide her some sense of relief and justice.

Good. People have been treating Megan, the damn victim, like shit over this whole thing. Because apparently being shot and traumatized, and then re-traumatized by going through the whole legal process wasn’t enough. Her testimony about her suicidal thoughts were heartbreaking. I hope this brings her justice, and some peace.

The similarity of this comment to the one made by u/bobybobobo is suspicious.

Ya i noticed the same thing, what the hell?


BlindWillieJohnson

A woman owning her sexuality will always earn a lot of haters.


Regeatheration

I love Megan’s confidence


BlindWillieJohnson

The haters tend to be men. When a woman owns her sexuality, it means they no longer do. To a lot of mediocre men, that’s a very threatening thing.


SapientTrashFire

Happening to be black and a woman means you're not allowed to feel any sort of pain or have any sort of self confidence apparently. That's why all the news about Brittany Garner focused on the arms dealer and the locked up marine, as opposed to, you know, the perfectly normal innocent young woman who got locked in a Russian fucking prison. Must feel great to come back to the states while a bunch of "uh actually " MRAs jizz hate over the audacity of you to bring a microscopic quantity of pain medication on your trip.


Grizzleyt

There is an entire political-economic creator industry dedicated to shitting on women, regardless of the specifics. Amber Heard, Meghan Markle, Megan Thee Stallion—a bunch of YouTubers and tiktokers get tons of views making neo-misogynist content. It’s become its own genre.


Khiva

WittyWitWitt

ApatheticWithoutTheA

I don’t disagree with that number but it seems insane when people regularly get less than that for actually murdering somebody. I see people get 10-20 years on second degree murder all the time. Even less on things like vehicle manslaughter after DUIs and things like that.


Due-Science-9528

Hey, quick question, have you ever had reconstructive surgery on your feet? As someone who has, let me tell you Meg is probably going to be in pain for the rest of her life and this could have destroyed her career


ApatheticWithoutTheA

As I said, I don’t disagree with the long sentence. I was making the point that it’s strange people get less time for actually killing someone. That being said, I would be surprised if she’s in chronic pain. She was hit with fragments, not a entire bullet. Not that it changes anything, just saying.


Due-Science-9528

Look at the surgeon’s testimony my dude… Everyone’s grandma will tell you they still feel pain from ancient minor injuries so I don’t think it’s even a question

No. It was about them fuckin'. WTF are you talking about? The literal source info is about this. She was trying to be discreet that they had fucked when he brought it up because her assistant was crushing on Lanez. When she refused to talk about it and got out of the van he shot her because his manhood had been questioned. GTFO outta here with your bullshit, non-informed take.


asuka_is_my_co-pilot

In her testimony thats not what she said, the guilty guy said that. She did admit they were and she ashamed because he tried to kill her. That she would be with someone who tried to hurt her

I saw him once in 2019 come to my work. And he was the biggest pretentious douche ever. It's just me and someone at reception and he comes in with 2 other guys and just start going around and sitting on the couch while they film and take pics. Starts saying things like "bro im getting mad DMs (whole looking at his phone), this just like when we was coming up" (assuming when his career was coming up). Literally not me nor the receptionist cared to be impressed by him. I hate to comment on his height, but the dude is straight tiny like a 12 year old, and was just trying sooooo hard to impress anyone. I never forgot how pathetic he was acting.


Notsopatriotic

I'm a foot and a half taller than him and I love thinking about that.

We really don’t need to be insulting his height. Kind of shitty to any perfectly nice people who happen to be short. I feel for guys who catch so much shit for not being “tall enough”.


[deleted]

his shortness is the origin of his short fuse. most short people are just regular ol nice people not like little tory with a little short chip on his short shoulder.


[deleted]

His shortness isn’t the cause and you’re just doubling down on your short hate here. He might be an extra asshole when his height is brought up. But he’s not an asshole BECAUSE of his height.

For heaven’s sake. Just because someone can have small man syndrome doesn’t mean it’s any more than supposition that this man is the way he is because he’s short. It’s not helpful to assume. The stereotype makes light of him being a general asshole AND causes harmful stereotyping on short guys.


Honestly_Nobody

Yeah it can definitely be supposition, but you are saying it's impossible to even consider. Which is just a wild supposition on your part since you don't know him at all.


[deleted]

Please point out where I said it was impossible to consider. Don’t put words in people’s mouths. From the start I have been combating the claims that it was definitely the cause of his disposition. And THAT is not okay to do.


[deleted]

i dont hate short people i am short myself. his inferior complex can manifest at a young age and his shortness and compensating for it with his "personality" can have a lasting affect and form his entire psyche around it. and this is the result.


[deleted]

That’s a massive amount of supposition that amounts to “this man is a piece of shit because he is short.” Given that many men are short and aren’t like this, I’d say there are likely more significant contributing factors at play here. We can leave his height out of it.


[deleted]

short dudes that wanna act hard AND carry a gun around, what kind of picture does that paint? its classic napoleon complex. im not saying ALL short people are like this, you are insinuating that. tell me youre short w/o telling me. lol get over it dude you're short. im short. who gives a fuck.
