Correct, he was being stalked by an armed man and justifiably felt in danger of physical harm, so he exercised his right to use force to defend himself.  

I wouldn’t use the word victim here - these people bear responsibility for their actions - but people can commit crimes, and still be products of their economic and social conditions. Here’s a cool trick: you can be angry at and empathize with a person or group of people at the exact same time.

That’s not a riot, that’s a failure of civic institution (or a success of systematic disenfranchisement I suppose.) I would argue riots have ostensible political causes or goals. This is what it looks like when communities and their constituent families don’t have time or money to raise kids, nor institutions to…

The courts are illegit now. No rulings they make should be considered or followed now. Republicans have shown they’ll game the system to do whatever it takes to force thru their unpopular agenda even if it means destroying the our institutions to do it.

He’s 100% responsible for Neely’s death. If NYC does not charge him, they are going to unleash a wave of vigilante violence. 

That’s nice. But doesn’t mean he isn’t responsible for the death. Also, people should really understand that the chance a fight leads to death isn’t 0. So they really need to be less willing to resort to violence.

Fuck serving that family. I wouldn’t have done it. The fact the managers pulled him aside to talk to him about it in advance makes it clear *they* knew shit was going to go down, and decided to do nothing about it.

The issue with qualified immunity is that its existence is based upon a SCOTUS decision, in other words, a legal doctrine. It has been expanded since its first inception and not for the better. It does not have a Constitutional basis nor is it truly Congressional law.

None of this matters so long as Republicans hold any sort of lever of power. You can have an HD video of Clarence Thomas fucking a donkey and they’ll still close ranks and protect him, because that’s what they do. And every time Democrats are in charge they do fuck all to fix these things except in-fight, eat their…

Yeah well that’s ok because... Hunter Biden... laptop penis...antifa pizza basement.

“We look[ed] at what most North Carolinians have said. This is where most of them come down,” said state Sen. Joyce Krawiec (R), adding that there was “a lot of discussion, and a lot of back and forth.”

Disappointed in miss teyana claiming to be an “ally” or whatever but giving free promo to this egregiously homophobic, misogynistic, pro-MAGA company. But ‘we luvs da friiied chikkin’ *cheesin sambo smile* so I guess it’s all good. 

Also the elective surgery was apparently to correct a sunken chest, so he basically got breast augmentation to look more masculine, which is a form of gender affirming care he so vehemently opposes for others.

At what point does ignoring the will of the majority get called what it is, Tyranny.

If Republicans don’t want us to get abortions, they should make it easier for us to raise children without losing economic gains. And they should also shift the focus to men’s accountability. Did you know that 100% of ALL pregnancies (both planned and unplanned) are caused by men? Shocking, I know. Maybe they should…

Nazis gonna Nazi.

Honestly, movie looks like a lot of fun. Inter-generational superhero road-trip? Totally on board. Just don’t bog down the third act with a half dozen tee-ups for future MCU projects and it’ll be a good popcorn flick.

Anatomy = porn

All. Republican. Accusations. Are. Confessions.

The whole point of “stand your ground” laws is that (white) people have no obligation to flee or deescalate and can legally just start firing whenever they feel threatened.
