The best outcome I see for her is getting sentenced to 2-7 years (depending on the judge) and then getting released after ~ 6mo to a year in a prisoner swap. 

The pessimist in me sees Russia offering Paul Whelan for Viktor Bout, and due to the political/public outcry believing Griner is worth more than she actually is…

Sweden, China, Russia, and a plethora of other countries make the US look like a beacon of equality in comparison. We got a long way to go but I couldn’t imagine being of African descent and willingly choosing to go to any of those countries.

The most common target I see at a range is green background with a black silhouette that has bright green hit indication. I don’t know if I would call it racist. I guess they could just make the targets bright pink, but its probably just a cost issue for the ink.

Its the proper solution, but it would require a overhaul of the way various sports are organized (and wouldn’t be applicable in some sports, such as American football), and there just isn’t the will power to do that. 

Agree. If everyone has to tip-toe around you or you are off limits to any comedy then you will always be considered “other”. Being accepted in comedy isn’t a major step in acceptance, but it is one of the first signs you are no longer being ignored. 

Alright, I don’t like his comedy in general, but do you actually have any evidence his jokes lead to the death of...anyone?

You need to pay $19.99 for a 30-day Optimization Package. Each day you need to log on and check your inventory. Note, this only for a single account and is used for the day on the first character you play. Any subsequent character you want to play require another Optimization Package. Luckily, we offer them in…

So you’re saying that if the theoretical “posh white boy” does it again, its more acceptable because its already happened once before?

Were you around in the Gawker days? These bloggers would do this stuff all the time. Famously, they got brought down by a gay guy that they themselves outed publicly, all because he was rich so it was okay.

There is probably a large set of Kotaku that are addicted to mobile games and will defend them. They will call…

Maybe stop talking about banning XYZ then?

It likely wont matter. Monetary reparations almost always run into the roadblock of cost. Taking just half of that number, so 1.3 million individual, and paying a paltry $20,000 still puts you at $26B. Trying to pay any sum that would actually help elevate black communities ends up punching right through the entire…

At some point having the ability to come to your own conclusions and not strictly tow a party line became evil in the eyes of the Gawker descendants.

You cannot be Pro-single payer healthcare AND pro-strict border control. You cannot be pro free college AND pro second amendment. You cannot be Pro LGBTQ and pro trans…

There is a difference between “Believe her” and “Believe her no matter how much evidence come out that she is liar”.

I spit out covfefe. Thank you.

Setting up Thing X that helps people to expire on Y date during the next term is a basic political strategy the Republicans have been using forever. If you get re-elected you extend it, if you don’t you block the extension while saying the opposition didn’t want to compromise or poisoned the well.

I think the bigger issue is that the Buffalo guy was caught, is in jail, and will be prosecuted. Its a lot easier to just say “Well that’s that!” here than it was when Chauvin was still walking around.

Its easier to stand up when a clear crime is being over-looked. Some guy saying he is “Proud to be White!” isn’t a…

Ahh capitalism. Anything (and anyone) for a price.

Still, Red Velvet and cheesecake does sound amazing.

Easy. Comedy shouldn’t have a limit, and people are trying to impose one. So he is going to continue poking at that button until he either retires or people stop giving him a reason too.

Trans people don’t get a magic shield to protect them from comedy any more than religions, ethnic backgrounds, political…

The family of this kid was trash. Hopefully the father gets charged with a hate crime

As a side note, I don’t believe there is any gun called a Regar. It was either a Ruger, or a Regard (which is a berretta clone). Bunch of news site seem to be reporting the same bad name though. If I am wrong, someone please correct…

Big money always has a catch. Sabotaging BLM was probably just business as usual. Toss a little money in the pot, make a suggestion for a broader set of goals for the organization, get your friends to do the same, and let greed do the rest. Eventually someone will make a mistake and the media will pounce. While your…
