Only criminals run from the police? Are you shitting me? Tons of people who haven't done a damn thing run from cops, because cops are often power-mad asshats who seem to leave deciding what crime to arrest you for until *after they've already arrested and/or shot you*. I'm not a person of color, but I feel very…

Oh yeah, way to use that last paragraph to make it all better.

If their only interest was protecting our rights, why would they consistent and constantly violate this woman's rights and those of her family? I'm not convinced Anonymous has an ideology, anarchical or otherwise. The way they do business is essentially nihilistic, with no structure, accountability, or coherent…

People with guns are not a privileged class over those without.

Virtually everyone dies needlessly. That was part of what made him the most authentically tragic casualty in that movie. Seriously, how does the sentence "He would never die in a needless way like that." even make any sense? Your vision of the character can manipulate time and space to ensure that he only dies in a…
