But a Ranger or Colorado will tow more, can go offroad, and are much more durable in their construction. At the end of the day they serve totally different purposes in their design. As an Australian I’m not happy about the death of the Commodore and falcon either, but they didn’t sell and so it would be stupid for…

The point I’m trying to make is that there’s literally no need to bring up this sort of non-sequitur trivia in this situation.

It is probably because they didn’t bother to check considering that Ralph Earnhardt (Junior’s grandfather) used the number 88 when he drove for Petty Enterprises in 1957.

Discrimination is a thing. Being an Alabama fan in Knoxville, TN will get some people in hot water in certain situations. People tend to prefer others who are like themselves. What they are doing is harassment and the officer(s) should and can be punished for this behavior. Point to specific incidents and I will…

If that were true there would be 10,000 shootings every day.

It also may be worth noting that Smith enjoyed a confidence talking so freely and contemptuously to a police officer that I suspect many other people wouldn’t expect to have, at least not without the involvement of firearms.

Some nice stats there. Source?

Keep making excuses for criminals.

They had to work racism in there somewhere otherwise it wouldn’t fly with the gawker style of “journalism” around here.

Does anyone know if it is possible to exchange my white privilege card for a new one? Mine doesn’t seem to be working. Unless there is somewhere to activate it that I don’t know about?

Prime example of a white guy not grabbing for a gun.

1) are you arguing that mental health didn’t play a role?
