*Outcome may vary on the jury the picked...

Reminds me of Bill Hicks’ routine about the Rodney King trial:

Should’ve tried to get on Tucker Carlson instead. Because you know he’ll spin that video as irrefutable evidence of them ungrateful black monkeyshines trying to provoke a race war.

“Ethnic intimidation” is another term for walking around doing things while black.
I live for the day when “I felt threatened”, and being “terrified” cease to be the free pass some people want it to be.
Cry all you want, honey, you did what you did and you seemed just fine to me while you were doing it.

Or suing reality because there are differences.

The Root Staff should just have a live like thread stickied at the top of the page for incidents like this. This is a constant occurrence and it is not going to stop anytime soon.

LMAO, gonna be very hard to convince anyone that you weren’t interested in escalating when you specifically put yourself in greater danger while also introducing a firearm to the equation... and then hyperventilating while holding said firearm because your mind was running away from you.

lol

“ethnic intimidation” = “being non-white around someone who is terrified of everyone who is not white”. It’s like an agoraphobe trying to sue the outdoors for being there.

Same here - cyclist and I will kick the shit outta your quarter panel if you run up on me in a bike lane or across the hike/bike trail. I’m white and a woman though, so I’m sure Kombat Karen would just flip me the bird like everyone else. Glad she’s facing charges. 

It looks very much like a way some people settle arguments in the good ole US of A, these days. And that’s reason enough for me to never want to set foot in the “land of the free”. Knowing that everybody and their neighbours can carry a gun would make me go paranoid!

I was gonna say the same thing, haha. I was like “Wow, good trigger discipline. You don’t see that very often in crazy civilians.”

A lot of my Facebook “friends” have been trying the “watch the whole video and you’ll see she was totally justified and goaded into having to pull her gun by those rude people!” argument.

When I ask them the equivalent of, “Is pulling a gun how we should settle arguments now?” I rarely get a reply.

If she hadn’t been carrying a gun, she wouldn’t have reached for a gun to solve a dispute. Guns don’t make anything better, they make people’s bad moments worse.

Seriously. White supremacist groups have been advising their members to join the military for training. The military is aware that this is happening, but really hasn’t done much about it.

When this bitch got back in her car and ran, you could see a new form of terror over her eyes...”oh shit, I’m a Karen, and they got me on video”

My degree is in Film and Media Studies: theatres are the best damned way to watch a movie. That’s the way that 99% of films were meant to be seen. Watching a movie inside a game on your computer/TV is pretty bloody abhorrent, to my tatastes.

Why would watching a movie play inside of a video game make you miss theatres? I don’t understand the premise of this headline.

Hard pass. I want the fake theater thing, I throw on my Oculus headset, stream it from a local source in a virtual theater, and pass on the chattering audience.

Yeah. Honestly, as with everything else in this world, we’re heading more toward the Snow Crash future
