Yes, and we should be smart about the “something” that is done, so it doesn’t just worsen an existing alienation between the people and the police and just result in more incarceration without addressing any causes.  

when so many others have it so bad

“As you know, and I apparently don’t understand, the way to racial equality is through making it permissible for minorities to steal and do whatever they want because how can they help themselves?? Nothing is their fault and the police are specifically to blame for robbery existing in the first place.”

Yes, I’m the one arguing in bad faith here.

Jesus Christ, did you watch the two videos featured in the story? Did those locations look like private property to you?

You’re right. Can you believe that some strident asshole has been constantly misrepresenting the facts of this situation while having the gall to accuse others of being misinformed?

Not even an attempt to answer the question or think about what I’m raising.  

It wasn’t on the street, it was on private property. People didn’t notice it while on an evening stroll. They saw it in the middle of the night after breaking into a rail yard.

That’s the whole point of the bait truck. It’s bait. It’s intended to be taken. Everyone agrees that this was why it was placed there.

Do you think it might be possible, just possible, that the way the police treat minority communities in Chicago could be part of a vicious cycle that also features the crimes you refer to? 

Theft is a bad thing. Can you explain how purposefully tempting people to steal things who you have no reason to suspect would have stolen something otherwise in a neighborhood that is already predisposed to distrust the police is a good thing?

Here’s an idea: let’s put a pallet of Ray Bans and Vineyard Vines shirts outside John Barleycorn, and let the chips fall where they may.

If/when Khabib beats the hell out of him in a lopsided fight, what’s CM’s plan? You can only pull off the swaggering dick routine for so long if you’re not able to actually win fights any more, so if he loses this one and then the next (which is entirely possible), what’s his value as a fighter at that point?  

Moe Phelps was right to hope that he’d catch a break eventually.   

This is fantastic Kinja.  

This review dodges the one question on everyone’s mind:  why does a regional bank with plans on extensive expansion have a legal department consisting of ONE lawyer?

Modern fabric technology has evolved to the point where lightweight, breathable trousers can be quite comfortably worn in all but the most extreme climates that no civilized human being would frequent.

God, you say that in all seriousness, don’t you? I mean, you really do think that.  Manly, indeed.  

What do you think you’re doing right now? This is a serious question, by the way: are you working under the impression that you’re giving some lesson on Manliness by taking a hard line position about...wearing shorts? Are you trying to convince yourself that being uncomfortable at a backyard barbecue makes you more…

Satire is difficult, sometimes.
