“The McMichaels claim they suspected Arbery was a burglar and chased him down, attempting to perform a citizen’s arrest.”

Greg McMichael said his son was acting under the scope of citizen’s arrest and that he shot Arbery in self-defense.

That video was clearly shot with a cell phone (rather than one of those vehicle video cameras that are always running and pointing in the same direction) by someone who was following. So, whoever that person is, he or she knew something was about to go down even though no one was on camera when it started. So that…

I’m thinking they wanted to get a hard on, as is their way, by intimidating a black man at gunpoint. Then shit got REAL.

Good. Fuck them. Throw them under the fucking jail.

Here is my wager:

Yeah, I’m firmly in “those toilets aren’t going to scrub themselves” mode. Life rarely gives you perfect options, but if you have to pick between unpalatable options, Biden is far, far, far less unpalatable than Donald Trump is. We’re very soon going to be receiving 3,000 daily reminders that the most important asset…

When the news popped up on my iPhone last night that RBG was hospitalized (again) my first reaction was “Shitshitshitshitshitshitshit!

Uh, I was told there would be no math.

If you want to unfollow my LiveJournal, you can let me know via Friendster like a real friend. You don’t have to come on Kinja and put all our business in front of these people. And to end on this on an ominous note, I want to you know that certain things have come to light. No follow-up questions!

That lasted about ten years longer than I thought it would.

Patreon. I guess the important thing is that there are at least 147 different ways for thirsty-ass people to broadcast shit to the world.

Palimpsest and haberdashery are entirely cromulent words and I will not have them so scurrilously impugned.

That fucker just picked it up from the dry cleaners. I hear they have a dollar discount on hoods on Tuesdays.

Right. Like the guy who dressed in full Nazi regalia for Halloween and then tried to say it was all he could get last minute. Suuuuuure:

Here’s the thing. You know that this guy didn’t run out and get a Klan hood as a prank. He had this shit just sitting around the house.

Fackin' MASTAH RACE, kid.

We’ll wait for the old Republican excuse: “I wasn’t aware of the symbolism of the mask. My wife gave it to me. People are being mean to me online. I’m the victim here.”
