I didn't mean just their children - there could also have been grandchildren (from gene bank on ship - which btw was in the original script).
With a little Johnny Depp thrown in. Not in a good way. I was also thinking of Skeet Ulrich.

Can't find the deleted scene of the morning after. Can you tell me what happens in it? Thanks. Just watched the movie (yeah, I know it's years later).
Yeah - lip biting also. I think she calls that 'acting'.
I think it's just weird. Don't these people have acting coaches?
Or directors?
Was the handshake deal true?
Is there evidence that he actually said that?
Wikipedia:
"It is alleged that as part of the buyout Kroc promised, based on a handshake agreement, to continue the annual 1% royalty of the original agreement, but there is no evidence of this beyond a claim by a nephew of the McDonald brothers. Neither of the brothers publicly expressed disappointment over the deal. Speaking to someone about the buyout, Richard McDonald reportedly said that he had no regrets."

I replied to your first point because it was relevant to my comment and not to your second point which was not relevant to my comment.
Funny, I just commented the same thing, 10 years later (and without seeing your comment):

Here's my comment on the topic:

And btw, I'm not saying he was right - not saying that at all - nor would someone getting off be legal - just talking about reality (esp for white person in the South in the '80s).
28 people dead in the BLM/Antifa riots/protests. Not a single one of them Trump supporters. Most charges dropped. January 6th? One person killed, unarmed. Three die of medical causes (yes, including Brian Sicknick RIP), one of a drug overdose. Oh, and here's the DOJ, months later: https://www.lawofficer.com/doj-quietly-acknowledges-there-was-no-sedition-at-the-us-capitol/ (the whole planned assassination thing was debunked months earlier, and the 'Trump incited' (he actually said 'peacefully and patriotically protest' - and that was far away and unconnected to the melee at the Capitol) thing was also disproven.
I'm waiting for charges for all the death and destruction (including firebombing of Federal buildings with people inside)... Won't hold my breath. So be quiet about your 'Trump supporters' canard.
Not going to address your second point - that's your opinion, you are welcome to it.
As to your first point - anything is possible. But my judgment is that a white person (especially at that time, and in the South) would have gotten off. You can disagree if you want, but I stand by the point.
Nono. I'm not saying it was okay at all - my point clearly said he was guilty and not insane. The point was that SLJ needed to get off b/c a white person would have. Under the same circumstances, with the same factors in play. Not talking about what is 'legal' or not. Certainly not saying it was okay beforehand, or even okay at all. Just talking about reality.
Against it. A) It is not a deterrent - see the research, B) No matter how you spin it, it's state-sanctioned murder, C) Innocent people do get executed.
There is a difference between excusing something beforehand (something that MM felt guilty of doing, since he didn't call the sheriff) and exercising mercy afterwards.
Agreed, and my (other) post said the same.
I just posted on this very point. Here's my post:

I teared up at the very last scene.
