"There have been rumblings recently that certain odious and foolish white supremacists within this administration will try to convince President Trump to provide a pardon for former police officer and eternal murderer Derek Chauvin."
As far as I know, presidential pardons only apply to federal charges. Chauvin was convicted both in Minnesota and at the federal level. The federal charges carry a total sentence of 21 years, while the state charges carry a total sentence of 22.5 years, but the federal and state sentences are served concurrently, so a presidential pardon wouldn't make any real difference for Chauvin (it would be a purely symbolic gesture, at least in effect). He'd still have to serve the sentence for the state charges, unless the Governor of Minnesota pardons him for those (and I don't see that happening any time in the next couple of decades).
Yeah, I should have mentioned that, appreciate the added context. That being said, we’re at the stage where Trump’s cronies suggest a stupid idea, and then rules and the law are broken to get it done. I can tell you, I don’t want to see Chauvin’s stupid face again.
I enjoyed part 1 but it’s been years since I’ve seen it. I’m not a prude by any means but I remember the wolf cop/human lady sex scene falling flat for me comedically and it seemed to last forever lol. A bit off putting I guess. But if that’s your thing, Dec no judgment. ;)
I’ve never watched Another. But you make it sound worth checking out.
The sequel does all of the things a sequel is supposed to do (and, strangely, few sequels really pull off). It’s not entirely novel, but it correctly amps up the stuff that worked in part one.
In five years, I will have no memory anyone ever made a movie called Wolfcop, let alone a franchise.
Actually, that's just how the cops look up here. That wolf-acting? All basic RCMP training, baby.

But you can call me Wolfdoc.
Fair lol.
As Substack’s foremost professor of lycanthropic cinema in residence, it’s my job to see it.
