You might want to explain that to the people criticizing the rioters because they believe it's only black people that are rioting and of course they conflate black people with thuggery.

you know what I find offensive? 18 year olds getting shot and prosecutors intentionally throwing the case

Exactly. If she had said to the sixteen year old, "Look, things are bad and I need to go away for a few weeks. I need you to look after your siblings while I'm gone." That would be negligent. That would be a bad parenting decision. But to simply lie and vanish! Truly fucked up. Those kids must have been so worried…

I concur

"We know our incident..."

I am judging her for being a neglectful mother. But no, it doesn't change my opinion of her if she neglects 6 kids by 1 father, 3 fathers, or 6 fathers.

It is 500 too many, but I am still having trouble with a scenario where, a few months ago this woman was impregnated by her imaginary soldier husband - since she is still early enough in the pregnancy to fly transatlantic, and then he is killed, and she immediately falls for another guy online and travels to Australia…

Are there really that many dead British soldiers though?

Arizona is the last team Oregon wants to see in the P12 championship. AZ's offense had little problem with Oregon's D. Maybe with a somewhat healthy o-line, Oregon can win a foot race, but the D is cause for worry.

Thousands of mothers of kids WITHOUT jobs are doing the same. Heck, mommy bloggers are making careers out of that! In this particular kid's case, keeping her profile out there helps her make money, so at least there is some justification.

I bought kale chips out of sheer curiosity. I couldn't finish them. The chips were good and all, but finding some of these in the bag was a bit...off-putting.

Given Brooks' history, I think it's more likely to be support for the Brown family or some sort of generalized well-meaning-but-out-of-touch worry about the nation being divided or such. He almost certainly wouldn't be among Wilson's supporters.

I imagine that some pro Darren Wilson fans are probably also Garth Brooks fans. This sends a pretty powerful message.

I thought the Duggars were against gay marriage.

No, they can't. One of the reason many executions are botched is that doctors won't participate.

It's the war of the Divas, everyone!

Hear that? That's the sound of silence coming from all your Facebook friends who gleefully posted his original Facebook post offering sympathy, from all the MRA dicks who came rushing to his defense, from all the assholes who threatened and harassed the woman who wrote that blind-item article about this a year ago.…

CNN is reporting that the extent of the police presence seems to be centered on South Florissant, while the bulk of the property that has been looted or burned is on West Florissant. I just heard a reporter say there is virtually no police protection there and it's almost like the police are letting that part of the…

My local news station (WINK news, SWFL) actually did make a point of saying that while there is violence, looting, and fire, it is NOT indicative of all of the protestors, many who are peaceful. I was pleasantly surprised.

Some in the crowd reportedly tried to stop others from taking part in vandalism and other violence.
