Fair enough. I dug splinter for the most part because I missed Gawker and their political coverage and it filled the gap. I gave up on Jez years ago. I’d loved Io9 until they merged with Giz (neckbeards galore there).

To be fair Splinter should always be reminded of their spectularly bad takes on voting. Do you remember that? They were all going to take their toys and go home. Or “voting doesn’t matter”. Or was that Deadspin?

I have friends who are legitimately intelligent, left leaning people. They argue it’s not and any amount of discussion leads to claims of anti-Semitism. To me it’s far more anti-Semitic to equate the current leadership of Israel with Judaism writ large.

Thank you. The complete lack of empathy is astounding. More people probably die in Yellowstone from not reading signs.

So wait... the parents are in their late 60s? Did I read that right?

No - it was totally me misremembering. I deserve ALL the shade.  My comment will live in infamy.

Thank you. This was a really heartfelt (and well-written) read. Raw, but poetic.

My bad.  I don’t keep track of racist assholes and where they live.  My question becomes why his face has not been eaten already then.

Yes... I see that now.  My bad.  Then I’d be placing a complaint with Florida man for poor job performance.  I expected better.

Then what is taking you so long? Get to the eating already.

I hope he goes to Florida and Florida man eats his face.

He managed to make himself look worse. What a salty whiny little shit.

And dying over *perceived* disrespect is deeply stupid.

Is spitting on someone not considered assault?

Same age as my youngest daughter. I’m fluctuating between rage and sorrow. I’m going to hug her and all my children extra tightly tonight.

I’m quite sure it’s already in the works.  Found god, indeed.

So I assume he’s going to donate all his riches he made from rapping that “devil’s music” then. Dirty money, I guess.

The cognitive dissonance is real.  As soon as he perceives being negatively affected by something, he bails.

This. The hurt and pain he was talking about was his own. Not, you know, the actual protestors whose lives are the line.
