I went and watched a video online, hopefully it was the right one. Sure looks like he was intimidating the store clerk, and had he brought charges, he would have been in the right. However on the scale of “assault” this is pretty light. Certainly not death penalty worthy. Plus not only did the store clerk NOT press…

I saw video of him in the store, and heard that he had stolen chips but somehow missed the assault, can you link to that? The story of self defense as Wilson laid it out is clearly embellished after the fact to justify his reaction. It may be the case that Brown was acting like an asshole that day but that’s what…

Can you illuminate for me what is unsympathetic about the Michael Brown case? Serious question.

Great, no, EXCELLENT point.

Thanks for posting this

As if it will help to explain the obvious.

hahaha best response :)

Excuse me sir, but ALL lives matter. Gah. /s

Here’s what I’ve heard about Michael Brown: thief of chips and trash-talking teen. Sounds like me, and I’m white and still alive. As for Darren Wilson saying he reached in the window to take his gun, the kid was shot running away, and witnesses don’t back up his claim. What information do you have to make you think…

So these geniuses are following the movement so closely that they are noticing riots that never happened, analyzing the accuracy of various catch phrases and the backgrounds of the deceased, and yet in all their lives they are so hopelessly unaware of the civil rights movement in this country that they can’t…

mmmm, dumber.

I never had a computer but a pedophile used to call the payphone at my high school every day when school let out and we used to take turns answering it. Jesus christ.

I’ve been all over america as a lesbian, and parts of europe too. This is normal everywhere and you do learn to laugh about it - but it makes you angry all the same.

Yeah every time I read this stuff I’m like “Can’t wait for the teacher goes nuts on students headline”. I mean, I remember my teachers and they weren’t all winners.

The argument makes no sense in light of the fact that sexual abusers almost always use these kinds of threats - if these threats have no effect (i.e. if all rape victims move forward with pressing charges no matter what - which is what Dr. Luke is arguing), then why do abusers make them? Of course these threats can…

You’re forgetting one qualifier: male. The 50s were a nightmare for women regardless of color.

Don’t you understand? He “went out”, got an education, worked hard and earned it. You should try it some time.

Yes, “why does menopause exist” is a legit question and actually, that’s what these scientists were actually asking; I took this article at face value and it is a misrepresentation. Why don’t women die after menopause, however, is nonsensical from a scientific standpoint. If you’re looking into that, you’ve got…

No, no it wouldn’t. Why does menopause exist is legit. Why don’t women die after menopause is not. Menopause is not lethal and there’s nothing to suggest that it should be. Nor is the act of producing children the only thing we as a species, or countless other species, do to ensure the survival of our genetic line.…
