I have some fondness for the city, but it's surrounded by the county. Most of the county can and should go fuck itself.

Its about a notch below from what a racist cop character from South Park would have written.

Yeah, everybody. You're angry about the WRONG DEAD BLACK KID. This was a "pick the right dead black kid to be angry about and racism and police violence will magically be solved" quiz, and you failed! And we had a real shot, too! Oh well, guess we'll just have to hope for another cop-shot black kid before we fix the…

Not a surprise given that if a citizen is so much spotted as filming a cop hassling another citizen, the individual with the camera faces intimidation, threats, and even arrest for exercising her or his First Amendment rights. Maybe this country's entire population of Chief Piggums needs an intensive refresher course…

It's interesting that a government agency is calling on a (mostly) private business to punish citizens for expressing a first amendment right.

Maybe if the cops stuck with exercising their first amendment rights, and not moving to the other amendments, we wouldn't have a problem.

you know what I find offensive? 18 year olds getting shot and prosecutors intentionally throwing the case

ugh, another street harassment story. #yesallkittays

Team Cat Headquarters Here,

We've come the wrong way, baby.

I haven't had to do it in a while, but I used to give sketchy dudes who wouldn't leave me alone my father's cell number. He straightened em all out quick. My dad is old school Southern and terrifying.

I thought the same- there's no guarantee that the mother would be mortified as opposed to defensive or even aggressive. In my experience, mothers of misogynists can be their biggest defenders/apologists.

I had a boyfriend in college who went completely off the rails after I broke up with him. He sent 2-3 emails every day for months with violent threats that were just vague enough that the police couldn't do anything about it.

Build a Faraday cage around his room.

His ass suddenly lives in 1900. Yuuup. No internet, phone, or computer. No TV, either. No more social media accounts — as in deleted, not closed. Not allowed to use the internet at school, either — all that "research information" is in books. Won't sign off on a driver's license. Suddenly he needs to pay rent, and he…

You're an evil genius. I'd watch the shit out of that show.

The next step, btw, should be letting the parents know that normally, because threatening people like this is actually a crime, your first stop is the cops — but that because he is so young you would prefer that they took care of this themselves.

Can there be a documentary film or television show in which people being harassed online can confront their harrassers in person? The online disconnect lets people act this way. They don't have to think of their victims as real people.

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.

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.
