I'd pay to have an opportunity to ruffle this guy's feathers lol. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Neato@kbin.social 15 points 3 years ago* I imagine, if he dislikes Mike Pillow, he was ecstatic. This guy is digging himself a deeeep hole. Oh my his lawyer tells Mike to calm down and hour and half in. Oof. permalink fedilink source parent [–] hamster@kbin.social 15 points 3 years ago (1 child) It's part of his tactics. The calmer you are the crazier it makes the other guy look. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] neilcar@fedia.io 9 points 3 years ago More than that, the more you're not rattled by the angry name-calling, the deeper the other guy goes into it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] fiat_lux@kbin.social 11 points 3 years ago I wanted a strong drink after just sitting through the supercut, I can't imagine how exhausting it must be for the lawyers on both sides. The defence lawyer is going to need a whole case of the good stuff after that fiasco. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 5 points 2 years ago Yes. I hope this video becomes training for depositions. I know I would have difficulty staying calm and focused. permalink fedilink source parent
