Wubbels didn’t “trade” on anything. Just look at the difference in how people reacted to Justine Damond versus Philando Castile.

Let’s just go with Charles Kinsey... not a nurse but you know pretty close. The officer that SHOT him and was subsequently arrested on charges of attempted manslaughter and negligence for his role in shooting Kinsey continues to be on leave WITH pay.

What’s not often mentioned in these stories is the reason he was trying to draw the blood: A police chase caused that fatal crash, and they were looking for ways to shift the blame to the victims. Every aspect to the story is so fucking terrible/unsurprising.

Even money says he’s hit more than one woman in his life. He has trump supporter written all over him.

First thing i thought of when I saw the headline. haha

I mean if a country of 323M can’t field 23 people to go through the CONCACAF qualifying, then somebody is screwing up somewhere.

It’s the same as cat calling, leering, invading our personal space - men do it to remind women that our bodies aren’t our own and that we are always being observed as sexual objects when we’re around them.

He doesn’t think of her as a fully formed human, she’s an object.

Love rugby and actually played tighthead prop at Wits years back, but as long as the NFL is siphoning off all of that type of physical talent, we’ll never stand a chance against the southern giants or the traditional Euro powers. We’ve only won three rugby World Cup matches out of 25 games played, and two of them were…

I knew we were going to take some complicated route to punishing Russia for tampering in our elections and that it would have to be some kind of end-around behind Trump’s back.

Donald Trump and Anthony Davis have very little to do with this IMO.

Probably the feet too; they’re important here.

I completely agree with you, and that’s why this is a random thought experiment thrown out on the internet; and not an actual marching call (god I hope no one thought my idea was a marching call)...

Yep. If you’re a MURCAN PATRIOT you can go into a Burger King or a school or a football game with your phallic overcompensator proudly displayed, but if you’re black you can get shot for having any object in your hand.

Dude, you can’t ask a population already at risk to place themselves at greater risk just to prove a point. It’s good in theory, not so much in practice.

Monday morning after the shooting I heard a radio DJ joke that if we wanted to see real action on gun-control, we’d have to get every black man in America to legally purchase an AR15, and where legal, open carry in an organized, large-scale, show-of-arms.

Everyone in my middle class, midwestern town lives in constant fear of ‘home invasions’. It’s insane. And it doesn’t seem completely racial although that certainly is a factor. They’re scared of white heroin addicts, too.

“Fears of black Americans and their criminality, lies about black Americans,” she says, “are central to this debate, central to the reason people own guns, central to why people want to protect the police, and they feed into why police are armed.”

Having lice, like having bedbugs, can cause one to react with terror every time they feel even a tiny twinge on their scalp.
