After the bus flipped and they cleared the walkers and Abraham was losing his mind, and Glen calmed him down, he totally said that he was flipping out because he, and I quote "smacked my sack hard when the bus flipped..."

Lawn of the nursing home? Sure thing, old man.

Excellent we agree, now get off my lawn

I saw a lot of comments mentioning something to that effect. And while I personally feel that would potentially increase the likelihood of Abraham's wife and kids running (having been traumatized by the initial rape and then just completely terrified by Abraham's reaction), I'm not a big fan of shows like this

Completely agree. Glenn probably has the most coherent character arc of anyone on the show

I didn't get that the show wants us to be "conflicted" about Abraham at all. At least, not in relation to what he did to the soup stealer.

It was so obvious from the start that Eugene was lying that I had begun to suspect that the twist was he was telling the truth. He would have never actually solved it, but just that he was who he claimed to be.

I was literally more upset about Abraham calling Rosita "some ass" than I was by Abe killing that dude in the flashback.

Hiding out in that supermarket would of course explain where Abraham got all the gel to keep his hair like that this long into the apocalypse.

I think they've made it clear that the zombies are, in fact, pretty rotting and fragile right now, hence why their skulls are very easy to crush with a boot, or why they explode when slammed against a wall.

Possibly, but then the show could and should have made that more clear. All we see is him protecting his family, albeit extremely, and the family fleeing into immense danger. If Abe was worse than the zombies, they should have shown us that — and killing a dude or dudes because they were going to steal his families

"But isn't that pretty much exactly what Rick and the group did to the Termites? Sure, Abe was certainly… thorough, but he was both trying to protect his family and keep them fed (as apparently the dude was trying to steal their soup)."

Abraham should have taken more time to mullet over before pummeling Eugene

Yeah, maybe you're right. I don't post very often and I hope that this makes even a little bit of sense. I'm a black man in his early 20s who has lived in the center of St. Louis my entire life. This is a strange city in that for being as big as it is, the mentality often times seems like that of small stereotypically

It isn't just about recognizing basic human rights, it's about recognizing privilege. White people (myself included) often don't even realize how every aspect of our lives has been carefully constructed to allow for success (barring situations such as poverty, abuse, etc). I think it comes down to a lack of empathy

Wrong. This is a black issue that affects black individuals that others can be enraged by. But it is a black issue. If you are white, as I suspect (and as I am) you do not live in fear of the police. This is a good time to close your mouth, back up slowly, and listen. Take it all in. Recognize that where you live,

I teach about the complex problem of differentiating between institutional racism and individual bigotry, so I understand what you're trying to get at.

I didn't think that Kara meant "White people! Explain these things to black people!" when she wrote "you." I inferred that it was addressed to some vague "you." The "you" that supports the militarization of the police and doesn't question why these things happen disproportionately to the black community, the "you"

It's not about you.

The craziest thing to me in the aftermath of these killings is how accepting most people are of the militarization of the police. I fully expect that when video footage is found (dashcam or otherwise), Mike Brown will have done nothing that could warrant a reaction with fatal force, but people will still look and
