Any possible motivation behind the attack remains unclear. In what is ultimately still speculation...
How anyone cannot see that their whiteness is a privilege is beyond me. I know I’ve gotten away with SO much because I am white. If my older brother were not white he would still be in jail. And don’t get me started on my mother!
They were never that wealthy. They were flashy and conspicuous spenders, but the brat was never the heir to any type of fortune. There are whole zip codes in the Dallas-Fort Worth area with wealthier people. “Affluenza” was a case of bad spending and bad parenting.
lol shut up
it seems like they’ve gone to way more trouble and spent way more money on all this than if they’d just accepted the sentencing from the get-go. he was basically walking away with a slap on the wrist. they’re all morons.
Ok, sure but and hear me out here- Ethan Couch and Brock Turner doing a travelogue on Pyongyang?
it also proves how stupid rich white people are.

There are some points of view that are too abhorrent to entertain. This is one of them. What does it say about this guy he thinks this is a legitimate view of women and abortion? What does it say about the people who are willing to give him a platform to speak?
I don’t think the conservative part is the problem. The hang-the-women part is the problem. But then again maybe that’s been the conservative position all along.
His divisive politics aside, that is a butt-ugly jacket. My god.
...liberal readers will hear him out, and, forced to face their own assumptions, evolve to a more enlightened place.
Yep. If a dude had “joked” about wanting to lynch black people for voting, he would rightly get hounded out of being paid to have an opinion. Same shit goes for this.
Fuck this racist, misogynistic dude. You don’t get to call for the murder of women because they exercise their legal choice of abortion just to be edgy. Stating your opinions has consequences, the most important of which for a writer should be denial of a platform. Shame on the Atlantic...
