Exactly. This just seems like victim blaming to me. Some people saw an old white guy living in Carolina and immediately jumped to the conclusion that a) he must be racist, and b) therefore he must have deserved to get punched for some reason. I listened to the video a dozen times and I can’t think of any other reason…

Yeah, I’m sure that the victim was really throwing racial epithets at a white couple, and everyone else there was such a-holes that they all joined along in randomly throwing out inflammatory language that doesn’t even apply to the assailant. Probably dropped some derogatory terms about Japanese and New Zealanders…

Exactly- as an American of Irish/English descent, that guy looks exactly like my racial demographic. I don’t see anything about that couple that says hispanic, and if you actually listen to the video there are a ton of other words that it sounds like he says that make way more sense in context.

Is there any evidence any one actually thought that guy or his girlfriend were hispanic? Listening to the tape, I’d say spic would be like guess #127 on what he said there. “Respect”, “sit back..”, etc etc. etc. all sound more likely than a racially inflammatory remark that doesn’t even seem accurate for the people…

Then what’s the point of mentioning it? If you think that he’s saying spic then just say “I think he says spic”. Don’t cite to a source if you don’t want the source to be relevant to people’s interpretation of your claim.

Nope, I thought that too. I was like “umm, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12. What are you talking about?!”

Certainly sounds like “respect”, especially in the context of an argument between a couple of youngsters and an older guy.

“On twitter some folks are saying he’s Latino and the old guy called him a “spic”.”

I’ve never had anything above an iPhone 6 and I never knew there was a way to restart it with the home button. I always just hold down the phone lock button on the right side for a few seconds and bam. Phone turns off. Wait a second, then hold that button again. Boom. Phone restarts. How do you do it with the home…

Great, thanks!

Great, thanks!

How do the games look/feel/sound? I want to get the classic SNES just to play Final Fantasy III- if I get a raspberry is it going to feel like the same experience?

Then what’s the point of posting? To point out that someone can use legal means to commit illegal acts? And you said people could “accuse” them of encouraging and assisting illegal acts- um, so what? They’ve literally printed articles explaining how to download emulators, so I don’t think they care if anyone says…

How many can I do? Probably a couple dozen (it’s been a while, but knocking out 20 was a pretty decent warm up for me a few years back).

Agreed. Someone who gets great satisfaction out of doing “good” is also doing it for very selfish reasons- it makes them feel better. By Aurelius’ definition, the only “good” are people that HATE doing good, despise the way it makes them feel, yet still go about being good for...what reason exactly? As a great man…

I think we can simply look back to 2012 for what the most painful outcome would be.

Riiiiggghhhhtttt. Don’t even play the game. Just let the Cubs advance already.

How do you keep up with the news like that?!

In all fairness, we should also be talking about how the we squandered a GORGEOUS Max Scherzer start in game 3. Our two aces each gave us no hitters through six innings, and we lost both games. As a Nats fan that was at both home games this series, I can say pretty confidently that we’ll be belly aching about…
