Fuck Armie Hammer

And fuck Uwe Boll too, knowing him and WB this is just a tax write off and probably won't even be released, but fuck him for a bunch of other reasons too
Quick edit:
Before anyone claims he's innocent because charges were dropped...
That likely had more to do with his families insane wealth and connections from their Cali based fossil fuel company and the billions it's made the family:

To be as good looking and wealthy as this guy, and ruin a freaking acting career by being a cannibal rapist. What the actual shit.
Human brains are wired to never be satisfied...
So when people can get anything they want without any work, they start wanting crazier and crazier shit they need to work for. Just to get the same dopamine rush an average guy would have bringing a 7/10 home from the bar for a vanilla hookup.
Is it fucking horrible and we should shun people like this?
Abso-fucking-lutely.
But we also need to understand why wealthy and powerful people keep acting like this so we can stop them from doing it.
In this case it's not letting generational wealth accrue like this. Our current economic system produces these monsters and they have the wealth and power to avoid consequences
