Dude, WHAT? Alcohol is quite frequently a factor in fights/violence and I’ve never heard someone argue that it would calm things down.

Other than tomatoface I find that engaging people is better than ignoring them. He seems like a dipshit, but a lot of people are dipshits.

When NFL star Sean Taylor was killed in a home invasion.

If someones foot is blocking your home’s door from closing is it permissable to stab said foot with a pen?

Seriously? If you don’t know the vile shit he posts, kindly fuck off.

They’re full of shit, BTW. I have never posted rape/torture GIFs or anything even remotely like that. There was a troll at one time who did, but it sure as hell wasn’t me (and Jezebel successfully got rid of whoever was doing it).

Sadly no. No. Most of America is with him on this. Most of America wants to be angry at people that aren’t their family, friends or community. They want to be angry at Hippy Liberals that take down the flag to talk about their feelings in a safe space (patent pending). And to be honest, in this case I feel most for…
