This Afroman trial is giving me life.

@mekkaokereke
I'm really glad he and his family weren't physically hurt! Those poor kids.

[mabande@mastodon.social]

@Nicovel0 @mekkaokereke Oh, you _know_ which word he was gonna use before stopping himself.

@CStamp @mekkaokereke
I will watch the video later but for now at least i can definitely agree with your last comment

[mabande@mastodon.social]

@mekkaokereke I gotta admit I was not ready for how on point Afroman was. That's not someone you wanna argue with, let alone be _wrong_ when you are!

[cstamp@mastodon.social]

@RnDanger The video I posted elsewhere in this thread is very good at showing what the actual charges are and the guy goes through parts of the music video to highlight possible problem areas. He's both laughing and fascinated about how the 1A will balance with the cop's right to privacy. With regards to the actual security footage, he's clear on the cops having no expectation of privacy while doing their jobs. @mekkaokereke

@mekkaokereke I just watched the clip and it's not clear to me was that the plaintiff's attorney or Afroman's attorney asking the questions - because the answers they elicited sure did make Afroman's case for him. <<<g>>>

@mekkaokereke separately it did not occur to me until @annathepiper repeated this story at me _just now_ that "lemon pound cake" and "bacon pancakes" have exactly the same scansion

[heathborders@hachyderm.io]

@mekkaokereke I love this so much

[moira@mastodon.murkworks.net]

@mekkaokereke (and now i'm just hearing the other cops go "lemon found cake makin' lemon pound cake, lemon pound cake lemon lemon pound cake" whenever he's nearby)

[westerninfidels@mefi.social]

@mekkaokereke Wow I don't know if the testimony he's offering is going to make a winning legal strategy but I very much admire his balls for offering it. For sticking to his guns, metaphorically speaking. I know that I personally can't be vehement and clear under such emotionally charged circumstances.

[domo@pizza.enby.city]

@mekkaokereke what a fragile baby that cop is. Afroman did the lightest possible roasting with that song and video. He literally called him a family guy and said he likes cake. This is such a childish lawsuit.

[earthshine@masto.hackers.town]

@mekkaokereke holy shit that suit.

[geospaz@mastodon.social]

@NadiaPurge @mekkaokereke maybe the streisand effect gets a lemon pound cake corollary

[nilajones@zeroes.ca]

@mekkaokereke

'what you're doing to these deputies'

He is not fucking doing anything to them! He is making music videos about his life, and posting them for his fans. That's his job, I assume. (I never heard of him before this, but he seems well practiced at it)

You come for the content creators, you're going to get content

[kevin@dice.camp]

@mekkaokereke Thank you for posting this - it flew under my radar with everything else going on. Great responses from him. I only wish I could do the same if it were me.

[petterofcats@mastodon.world]

@mekkaokereke should call the cops a cab.

[flashmobofone@mstdn.social]

@mekkaokereke Now THAT is a saga. I hope the pigs get roasted.

[nadiapurge@musician.social]

@geospaz @mekkaokereke at least his nickname makes him sound delicious. Lol

[seanjh@mstdn.ca]

@mekkaokereke police hate accountability.

[nosirrahsec@infosec.exchange]

@NadiaPurge @mekkaokereke lol dishonor as if pigs understand the notion 🤣
