There's a fresh joke.

I will accept that Darren Wilson is probably racist, since he's a midwestern cop and definitely has that look in his eye. But for no reason? That's not supported by evidence. Did you see the video of Brown robbing the convenience store that morning? Did that look like the nice, academically oriented kid the…

what?

Thank you, kind person. I really didn't think this was going to offend so many people, even though I know that on gawker sites putting any toe out of line is construed as being an undercover racist. I was actually just trying to answer a question for someone who seemed like they might not be American and might just be…

Those people were probably offended. Do you think I'm happy to be on the same side of a debate as racist pieces of shit who support people like Duck Dynasty guy and Paula Deen? I'm incredibly disappointed that people's refusal to view this case objectively has now lumped me in with those people, but I'm not going to…

Probably even more than the autopsy, I'm talking about the fact that the same eyewitnesses who say he was shot while surrendering were the same ones saying what a great kid he was when he was shot. He was a violent criminal, which doesn't just cast doubt on their testimony, it completely invalidates it. I wish those…

Congrats on being the first and hopefully only person to call me racist on this comment thread. I was actually responding to a question about why people might have been offended by the "hands up, don't shoot" protest. I was not personally offended. I grew up in the upper midwest and I know how terrible the police are,…

St. Louis is definitely a problem city when it comes to race relations. 10 shots is a problem. The prosecution's conduct was a problem. That creepy, smug announcement about the decision to not indict was a problem. And YES: abuse of police power is a problem all over the country.

The forensic evidence supported Wilson's story and not the clearly biased witnesses. The same eyewitnesses who said he had his hands up and surrendered were the same ones who said he was a great kid, regular pillar of the community. Do I need to point out that the video of him robbing a convenience store that morning…

Once again, I agree with you on basically all points, particularly that the police should be wearing cameras at all times. However, I don't think the case should've gone to trial because there was no credible evidence to suggest Wilson did anything wrong (if he'd stayed at the scene and some other bad shit had gone…

uh, what?

I agree with you, but I was responding to your question about how someone might have been offended by the gesture. While you're correct about the broader social issues in play here, plenty of people were surely offended given the facts of the shooting, and the fact that the protest/gesture sure came off as support for…

Some people are probably offended because the whole "hands up, don't shoot" thing is a strong anti-police statement made in reference to something that really seems to not have happened.

This is like finding out that Brad Pitt is terrible at sex.

It did suck when it started, and I stopped watching. Judging by its current standing, either it got better or America has terrible taste in TV comedy. I don't mean to sound cynical but....BA-ZINGA!

^hot take

Simmons is definitely a narcissistic tool and a sellout, but he's not a shill for the league.

...Rovell?

Haha touche. And good trolling; "average height and weight" discussion on a Magary Funbag post...yeah, that's a target rich environment. Well played.

TIL that the average American woman weighs more than me... :-( :-) :-( :-).....
