Why do they do this? Why? Why do these open carry people choose to open carry in a manner that scares other people? I really would love for someone who has an open carry lisence and does this kind of thing to explain their reasoning, but likely, none of those people read or comment on Jezebel... Jez or Gawker should…

What I am dismissing is the sense we get from your original post that the Wage Gap is rapidly disappearing and that we don’t need to continue to make people aware of it. Even if the bar above could easily be motivated by the fact that women at a bar attract men, and they make more money because of that. And I don’t…

50 Shades of Grey Lady Cady Cumberbatch

Yeah, feelings aren’t evidence, I know that, I’m not four years old. Cool your jets. If I’m wrong? I’ll admit it. But how many churches have burned? In how many days? All of them black churches? Ocram’s Razor would seem to apply, in this circumstance. But you can rest easy knowing I’M not part of the investigation.

The difference is how they’re being investigated/reported on, I think. I was more shocked that someone stabbed holes in the fire hose they were trying to use to put out the fire! That was dangerously shortsighted. But as far as the investigation/reporting is going, they made sure EVERYONE KNEW that those “terrible…

I hear that the secret to weedy treats is infusing the weed in your butter.

One minor thing... Based on that sentence, all Jezebel is doing is reporting what she told The Daily Reveille. I’m interpereting that to mean that the Professor believes she has a first amendment case, here, but that doesn’t mean that Jezebel or the reader have to agree with her. So basically, it’s JUST her you should…

They’re not kids, though. They’re adults. Legally, emotionally, physically, in all ways, adults. At that point, you know the difference between casual NON-HOSTILE swearing in a relaxed teaching environment among adults, and swearing angrily at kindergartners. The students knew the difference, they were not the ones…

Do you work in it enough to have an alternative idea? Not being snarky, I’m seriously interested! I want an idea of how it should work. All I can think of is regulating what we have better, but if these plans for transgender safety were started in 2009, then clearly that shit takes too fucking long. AND it’s only the…

You keep saying “screaming at cops” and “while they’re doing their job”, I keep saying “giving them the finger/telling them they’re being a dick” and “actually happening when not chasing lunatics”. Fine, you hear what you want to hear. But “ranting about the horrors of police work” isn’t about making it okay to mock…

Cops are arresting/ticketing people for giving them the finger, while nothing else is happening! It’s not in the middle of doing something heroic, it’s in the middle of acting like a dick and getting CALLED on it! I do blame the drug war on the policy makers, but when drug use is a problem with every single race, the…

Somehow I feel like you are deliberately insulating yourself from reality. I used to trust the police. I’m a white girl who used to work night shifts, and was comforted by the fact that a cruiser was always parked across the street from us at night. Especially when the drunks came to feed. Back then, I was just as in…

Another point!!

No. No, you can’t justify “the other side”. Arresting someone because they called you a fuckhead or gave you the finger is not justified. They explain in the article,

Did they ever explain why to you? I just have never... I-I don’t understand.

Does that mean the people you read about deserve to be shot, because they did those things you wouldn’t do?

Actually, that really would make an awesome novel idea.... Wouldn’t it be a shame if someone... stoooooole it from youuuuuuuu!!!

Thank you for making me feel just a little bit better about the Tennessee legal system!

Somewhere it was suggested that the original rapist or someone involved in the charges spoke to the defense attourneys about it. I don’t know, I don’t have the energy to look it up, this is just exhausting. Vigilante justice is a dream/nightmare, and I feel like it’s more likely these assholes will be lifted up as…
