I must be the only one who remembers mom taking away a bowl of cheerios and saying, "Run out and play, be back before dark."

I'm actually a lawyer (went to law school and passed the bar and everything!) But thanks for playing.

1) Show me Brown's convictions for robbery and assault. (Hint: there aren't any, so there is no proof he "committed" anything).

I'm not going to respond to the troll directly, just laugh at his utter incompetence with the English language.

Dear Gen,

Letting things calm down a bit before releasing more information wasn't a bad choice at all. If you doubt that people do stupid things when they are upset and everyone around them is upset, you've been burying your head in the sand for all of human history.

Ok well when your unarmed kid lifts some cigars from a store and is shot dead in the street I hope you remember that he got what was coming to him. Death for all shoplifters!

See that hole over there? Go fuck yourself in it.

I disagree. By delaying it gives them time to whitewash his record and destroy any evidence of a racist outlook which could be used in a trial It also gives the PD time to prepare thier bullshit defense case.

I'm happy that the mood was better yesterday, but there is no way that it makes up for what happened over the previous days. I feel like people are going, "now it's over, everything is fine." But it's NOT FINE. There are a lot more names that need to be released, including the police officers that unlawfully…

"Restraint" to Ferguson Police = Arresting journalists, lobbing tear gas at news trucks, shooting unarmed black teenager, firing tear gas and rubber bullets on peaceful demonstrators.

"We've done everything we can to demonstrate a remarkable amount of restraint."

99% of my Twitter feed is talking about this. It's incredible what's happening. I am beyond words. The pictures are especially telling. The tear gas smoke, the guns trained on protesters. I wish I could post one, it's of two protesters with their backs turned that have red sniper rifle dots on their backs. (Edit -…

What. The. Fuck. is a civilian police force doing with battlefield weapons? I know how it happened: defense industry lobbyists. My question is who on earth thinks arming and equipping peacekeepers with this type of gear will result in anything less that the full spectrum chaos that Ferguson has descended into?

But, but, but! Aren't men always telling us that catcallers are doing us a favour and aren't at all dangerous and likely to harm us?

I just don't understand why they think that's beneficial at ALL. At the very least, it's disrespectful of someone you didn't even know, and at most harmful to people who need help or in the midst of a very real fight for their life.

25-30% of suicides leave notes.

I know that doesn't need to be said, but I am saying it anyway. Robin Williams had a bravery few people will ever know. He used his own torment to bring humor and joy to millions. He fought his demons long enough to be there for his family and raise his beautiful baby daughter into a wonderful young woman. He…

You know what I think? I think anyone who's never stood and stared suicide in the face should shut the fuck up. I think anyone who hasn't cried themselves to sleep and wake in the morning only to find fresh tears are already falling should sit the fuck down. I think anyone who doesn't understand what it's like to be…

There's a point to Kinja? Because it's failing miserably. Comments around here were 200x better a couple years ago. Old articles popping up make it all too obvious.
