The "OMG the little shit" response was actually a sort of red flag for me- the woman was contacted pretty professionally, and she responded very unprofessionally (though in a good way, I guess). I'm guessing he learned that language from her. Kids may screw up, but they learn most of their behavior from their parents.

It would be like To Catch a Predator, except it'd be To Catch a Chickenshit Troller. I would watch.

There's just something about tellin' on boys to their Ma. Gets the job done. Sufficiently shamed.

I have no kids, i want no kids, but if i found this out about my kid i am not sure if i would not slap the shit out of him. I'd like to believe that my imaginary, never to be, kid would never do this because i raised him well, but don't all parents?

It obviously doesn't begin to compare to sexual assault, but I had to pull this on a guy who "borrowed" my chemistry book near the end of the school year, so he could sell it back to the bookstore. I literally stayed in the dorm for an extra two hours on my last day on campus because he said he was gonna get them back…

I swear to GOD if I ever found out my (actual) son had done something like this his life wouldn't be worth living for about two years.

Glad the mother was horrified instead of making some cliched remark about boys being boys or just kidding. Or turned into scary momma bear and how dare someone call out her snowflake.

This is incredibly satisfying. Nothing is more wonderful than the idea of misogynists having to admit their misogyny to the one woman who they think is somehow different. It's a beautiful thing.

My friend was sexually assaulted at a college party one night, so her boyfriend found the guy's home phone number and called his mother in the middle of dinner to tell him what he had done.

You had never seen a person repent so fast before.

"Oh please. it was a tragic event where two people made mistakes."

Maybe he used the Chewbacca Defense. We really don't know what went on in that grand jury, after all; we haven't heard all that awesome evidence like they did.

SERIOUSLY. I'm going all Atticus Finch on this—how the hell did Wilson get hit on the right side of the face when Brown came up to the driver's side window? It's so superficial and in such a convenient spot too—not the nose, mouth or eye—that I'm convinced Wilson just punched himself in the jaw to make it look like he…

Oh god, my mother. Both this and the Trayvon Martin case. "Well we just don't know so I can't judge." But the minute I try to fill her in it's all "I'm just so sick of hearing about it". Cool, ma.

Clearly, Brown slapped him so hard the bruise traveled to the other side of his face, but not so hard that it made it all the way there, leaving only some slight redness. Just another example of black people have magic superpowers.

Who fabricated the orbital bone being broken? I mean if that came from the department as some kind of official statement, how is no one accountable? Or was that "skillfully leaked" to a reporter?

"We don't know what happened"

Including arresting Skip Gates as he was entering his own home. I am a white woman married to a black man. I've literally seen it all, including my husband being pulled out of line in airports, pulled over for driving while black, accused of running drugs, being questioned for hours at border crossings, having him…

It really is. Reminds me a bit of a comment someone made here after some asshat wrote an article blaming feminism for the Sandy Hook shooting, because no one would have been killed if there had been MEN on campus instead of all those useless women: "There was a man there. He was the one shooting all the children."

Let's consider the following:

There's only one person in this mess whose life is over, and Darren Wilson shot him.
