He was nine. Consensus is, if he did it, it was an accident. He wouldn’t be in trouble. I didn’t say exposing it would serve no purpose--a press release is sufficient. Exposing it for public entertainment serves no purpose.

Absolutely damn right they will, and they should.

ugh, that sucks. The ACA definitely isn’t perfect, but at least it’s a step forward, especially in terms of preventing insurers from denying to cover people with pre-existing conditions.

There are now witnesses claiming he did have a gun and there was no book found at the scene. Unfortunately it looks like the family’s recounting of events isn’t accurate.

Jesus. Imagine getting off of the school bus and finding that your father was killed because he was waiting for you. That poor child.

Oh for fucks sake, fuck you. I have been vocal for years here and elsewhere about the absolutely disgusting behavior of the police. I have been active in my community and I call out the bullshit in person when I see it going down which is a hell of a lot more than any goddamned internet warriors do. I am simply…

It’s just frustrating because it gives The Blaze people something to hone in on and completely ignore the rest.

Just a note: even if you buy the “holding a gun” story, NC is an open carry state

I understand protests of all kinds: shutting down interstates/intersections, marches, sit-ins, etc. But what I always have a hard time understanding is the destruction/looting of businesses in the area.

Yup. I had a conversation with some older relatives where they legit didn’t know what I was talking about when saying “the ACA.” I had to tell them, “you know, the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare.” Then it was all “OHhhhhhhh.” Jesus Christ. This is the problem with how the media - and not just Fox and right-wing…

Calling it “Obamacare” helped get Matt Bevin elected governor of Kentucky. Never mind that a significant number of residents in the eastern part of the state benefit from the ACA, but yet voted for a candidate who campaigned on the idea of reversing the state’s expansion of the ACA and how it was such an awful thing…

One of my hugest pet peeves is when people call it “Obamacare”. No you fucking idiots. It’s called Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, colloquially known as the Affordable Care Act or the ACA. Conservatives use “Obamacare” as if implementing healthcare as a sweeping reform is the worst. They use “Obamacare” to…

Because Vicki can’t stand to be alone. She has to have people constantly around her because she needs validation from other people. She needs a man in her life to make her feel like she has a life worth living. She needs her family to validate her.

But even if he did get out of the car with a firearm...

police have killed 68 people since kaepernick started his protest against brutality. that’s over 3 people a day.

The Army and the Marine Corps can take the dumbest, most poorly-educated 18 year old in the country and drill into his head that you don’t shoot at people until they shoot first and drop them into a war zone and rely on them to follow these Rules of Engagement. “But I was scared” is never an excuse for killing a…

I felt for David. He clearly wanted to talk about his mother’s behavior without bringing up the affair. But Shannon was insistent on mentioning it. I don’t think the girls need to hear about that any more. The MIL’s behavior was bad enough, independent of the affair blaming.

Amazed that so many can look at what’s been happening and still not care.

I dated a guy with a very Momma Bear mom and I’m pretty certain age hated me and all of his brother’s girlfriends at first. She was never crazy enough to pull shit like that though and she ended up loving me until I dumped her son.

This is the same Vicki who took back her boyfriend that lied about having cancer (forged documents, so many lies, etc.)
