Despite an usually cold winter in the US, it's almost February!

Carry on.

Mark Salling has committed suicide.

I'm assuming he felt there's no way out in between prison time and the likelihood of never working in the business again highly increased by the #MeToo/#Time'sUp movement.

stlavin95

Yeah, that would make sense but I can't feel bad he killed himself.

Cristofle

I actually saw "Mark Salling dead" on Twitter, and knew he'd killed himself before I even saw the cause of death. He was looking at a 4-7 year prison sentence.

Which imo is too short for having that much child pornography in your possession.

stlavin95

Should have gotten way longer than that and wasn't he looking at an longer sentence too?

Cristofle

He cut a deal IIRC. Which apparently was too much for him and too little for literally all of us who aren't pedophiles. You know, I used to work with a guy who got six years for stealing perfume, because it technically cost over $200. It's a sad state of the US where you can get more time for stealing perfume than having child porn.

stlavin95

Wow, that really is ridiculous. How many years did he cut off his sentence by admitting he did it?

Cristofle

Likely as much as 10 years, possibly even more.

I have to say, I was never a HUGE fan of Puck because something about Mark struck me as really dark. Like, not a "bad boy", but a dangerous person.

stlavin95

Okay, wow.

Never watched Glee, so I can't comment on his character.

Thanks for the new thread, Liz.

Leslie Jones tweet is so sad but so me except I’m ok with dying alone. lol

stlavin95

Yeah, it's an human thing to feel unfortunately.
