This is the exact same type of responses I got when I used to ask girls out. The outright denials, I get, but the weird references to rule violations and major league franchises were awkward.

Inside sources have told the Boston Globe that Laura Wagner is a big jerk and should stop bothering important people.

Admitting you’re a cop on a Gawker site? Bold move.

Cops don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt. I expressly said so above

There are two kinds of people who know the truth about what happened here, based on what has been reported so far. Those with omnipotence and dumbasses. You are not omnipotent.

I have no idea what you are rambling about. Read my posts. I don’t believe any of them. I openly have said (as a current cop) that cops lie. Would I take what they say at face value? Nope. Same for Bennett. And it doesn’t matter what I believe, it’s what we can prove happened.

Absolutely, questions remain. I never doubted that he was detained. I certainly am not calling him a liar. This video is absolute proof that part of what he said happened, happened.

Cop here. I’ll chime in. The video itself isn’t helpful, other than proving that Bennett was detained and handcuffed. Unfortunately, we don’t have the video of what lead up to it. We could see if the officer was a complete asshole (certainly possible) or if Bennett is lying (also possible). I don’t know any of the…

The nastiness between the two sides came to a head 

In 225 years, if you are remembered at all, the morally enlightened people of 2343 will undoubtedly think you, me and everybody else were pieces of shit. Or maybe they will have evolved enough to recognize the exceptional things we did in times much more difficult than their own.

Why would you call the founding fathers pieces of shit? As Theadore Parker said, “The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice.”

Matt, I expected this was going to be a list of things regular conservatives do, but that you were casting as Nazi behavior, but No. I agree with this list. These are pretty squarely within the realm of what Nazis do. I appreciate that you didn’t try to turn this into a bifurcated argument of “anyone who doesn’t do…

The “stick to sports” crowd is nothing if not consistent.

I’m a centrist in that I believe to have a functional, efficient government, we need a balance, or at least a mix, of both liberal and conservative principles (not ideologies). Government works best when our politicians are open to compromise, which is unfortunately a dirty word in Washington of late, which is such a…

deadspin’s last bunch of stories is like... guy gets concussion, ncaa sexual assault policy isnt far enough, colin kaepernick interview with head of the union, rio spent too much money on the olympics becuse of billionaire swindlers, ezekiel elliott, check in on an old rape case.

Lol. I am pretty sure most white people have never thought about “whiteness” for one minute of their life. That being said, affirmative action doesn’t really work. It is just a hand-out to already financially privileged POC. If the goal is to help the most disadvantaged in society, make affirmative action income…

“And in fact he was a lousy soldier, graduating at the bottom of his Annapolis class.”

“So yes, incidents where white women are shot and killed by police inspire localized outrage and a lawsuit on occasion. But the level of media interest in Damond’s death is rare. The international outrage directed squarely at American policing and gun culture has resonated across borders, only amplifying the spectacle…

Definitely a dick move. Although not sure how much credit she should get for the initial catch, since the ball just landed in the cup while it was sitting on the concrete barrier (seriously what are the odds of that, a perfect drop-in without knocking it over). But she gets full marks for the chug and for excellent…

Dump the asshole who yanks the cup out of her hand to take credit for the ball. Believe me, he’ll only become more of a controlling asshole, not less.
