If you work at a school and a child comes to you and says they were robbed and beaten up, I’m sure most people would respond appropriately (comfort the child, send them to have their injuries checked, try to find the perpetrator, etc). Many people lose this common sense the moment sexual assault is added to the mix…

Why does he only use his super powers for evil?

I tried to google Abdulrahman Ali Alharbi because I wanted to see if I was remembering right that the police cast suspicion on him first -- so the media was just reporting what they were told, after all -- but then I saw that the top results are conspiracy sites still trying to cast suspicion on him and I felt too…

It has happened before and it will happen again. What is hilarious is that if he was contemplative about the attacks and allowed his surrogates at Brietbart, Fox News, Alex Jones, Rush, etc. tell the world “LOOK AT HOW RIGHT TRUMP WAS!” he would likely get a big bump.

Clinton is going to have to face down 30 years of GOP misogyny (and more) three times between now and election day. If she can do that and hold her ground he is going to lose his shit.

That article is so upsetting.

They’re trolling.

the worst was when they decided it was that missing student who ended up being dead :(

Gosh, I remember that one. And it happens all the time. The media goes on a witch hunt and tries to pin the crime on the wrong guy based on some pie in the sky theory.

When the woman stood up to him in Flint, it gave me hope that if a complete stranger can shake him that easily...it’s possible that Clinton can rock his core simply by holding her ground against whatever garbage he’s likely to fling.

What? The media should wait to report facts and not wildly speculate?

i don’t know. i’ve watched A LOT of law and order and i think i have a pretty good grip on this detective thing

He’s trying to say, without saying it directly, that the media’s main idea about investigation and research now is to go to twitter, walk out onto the street, look for rumors, and report it as real, and that is a problem. If the media still waited for fact and confirmations and things, he wouldn’t have to say anything.

This is a violation of Fox News’ god given right to be rumor mongering, racist assholes

Agreed. I prefer causes to blame. I hope you’re holding up okay! I enjoyed this little back and forth.

Fortunately it’s last, so it gives Clinton/Kaine three debates to tear into Trump/Pence. And by this one Clinton will have enough experience to know exactly how to get to Trump, and will likely have faced Trump enough to not have to worry much about what he may do and focus on not letting the moderator trip her up.

I want to believe that, but then I saw Matt Lauer shit the bed in the CinC forum. And at least one moderator (Chris Wallace) has already said it’s “not his job” to fact-check.

Regardless of whether or not its worked, he’s definitely tried to cultivate that perception over the last few years.

Where they always do: In the classroom.
