And Then It Clicked

Catching up with some of the video I've missed this week, I hit the 8:00 mark of John Oliver's post - "Fights on boats in Rhode Island" - and the connection snapped into place. Almost literally; like when you crash and you hear the pop of a ligament of the crunch sound of breaking bone.

I heard that snapping sound in my mind as I remembered the characterization of a guy named George Huguely - a lacrosse player at UVa who "accidentally" murdered his girlfriend, Yeardley Love in 2010.

Among the stories of Huguely's mercurial personality, there were stories of Huguely losing his temper - usually when he'd been drinking - screaming at people (his dad, or maybe step-dad in particular) while boating in Virginia and Maryland.

These prep school overprivileged legacy pukes need to be put to work picking up trash along the highways - not in positions of power where they are rewarded for their shitty little bullying behavior, and where they can be useful to a Daddy State by continuing that behavior.

It can't be surprising when a guy like 45* goes along with like-minded guys at The Federalist Society, and picks a guy like Kavanaugh.
