If you're admitting to being a violently abusive rapist who blamed the abuse, rape, and drug and alcohol addictions on your ex-wife as well as your abusive mother...I have no sympathy. If that isn't you then I don't understand why you don't side with Amber unless it's a hatred of women for whatever you went through. 

When Philando Castile was shot, I started hearing-as a defense, “The cops just want to get home safely at night”, to which....I’m sorry, that’s not the job you signed up for.  You do have to risk your life, that’s part of your job.  I don’t mean to be cold-hearted, but I don’t know where or why we got the notion that…

Even armed police are too afraid to confront shooters. But republicans demand teachers lay down their lives to stop shooters. Armed police hesitate to attack shooters, yet this mad country thinks training 5 year olds to attack with scissors is the answer.

The way they say he was “contained” is so bizarre.  He was contained....in a roomful of children he was killing.

Exactly. The vast majority of cops have never shot anyone, despite what it seems like in the news. They seem to be terrible judges of when to use lethal force. A police department is lucky is they have one good sharp shooter on staff. And even then, they were probably trained by a previous career in the military, not…

Yeah, I knew the police version of the events was wrong from the start of it... they said they were in the school in less than 5 minutes after the guy entered. Yeah, right - that’s why he was able to shoot up the place for 45 minutes! Good luck getting a consent decree to investigate and make changes, though. Texas…

Yet another incident added to the long list of incidents that beg the question “what is the point of the police?” 

There is not a better argument for defunding or abolishing the police than this video (not to mention what happened at Parkland). What are police for, as presently constituted with guns, bulletproof vests, any amount of offensive and defensive military gear, and authority to use all of that at the drop of a hot, if…

He didn’t “barricade” himself in. He locked the door. That’s it.

If kids have to regularly do armed shooter drills in school, the cops should as well. We all remember the cop at Parkland who drove away from the shooting in his golf cart.

i am staunchly ACAB but even this is surprising to me somehow. f the police. 

He was right to do it and the fucking rednecks up on stage reacted predictably... hypocritically calling him out for incivility while using language that wouldn’t meet anyone’s definition of civility. 

As Christopher Titus pointed out today, this IS political. The refusal to do anything is political. The decision to push policies that make shootings more likely is political. This is all political.

It is the exact moment another shooting occurs, at which point the timer resets.

They say this every time, yet they never seem to be able to find the time. When is the time? Let us know and we’ll mark it on the calendar. Otherwise, just say never and we’ll plan accordingly.

Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. The NRA should simply tell the secret service to ban people, not guns, from the hall. Problem solved.

It’s too bad that people like Peterson don’t fucking bother to stop and think about what the actual point/meaning/usefulness of sharing their opinion on something as subjective as beauty actually is. I, personally, prefer thick over thin, but “Who the fuck cares about my opinion?” is exactly what I ask myself before …

How you gonna start some Twitter shit and get mad ‘cause you got Twitter-sharted?

It’s so easy not to say something. Even in a live conversation, it’s easy not to say something. It’s waaaaaaaay easier to not say something on Twitter. How are so many people with so much to lose so bad at not saying something all the time?!?!?

It’s so bizarre that people are this threatened by the idea that beauty comes in all flavors.  If you’re not personally interested, move along!  No one is coming to your house to force you to love a certain way, except for conservatives.  What a boring world we would live in if everyone enjoyed exactly the same thing.
