full disclosure. 98% of America hates Puke, the Dallas Cowboys and the Yankees. so nobody is shedding tears. Also, the guy running on the field doesn’t negate the touchdown. Your better argument is the blocks in the back.

you really don’t take people disagreeing with you well, do you? bitter Millennial, line 1.

my guess, and this is just a guess, is you’re a Millennial. I’m Gen X. how can I tell? because the fact that you don’t agree with my opinion, rather than doing what any rational person would do and just scroll on by, got you soooo worked up that the perjoratives started flying little spittle. And when I explained my…

no, it’s cause he’s a fat REPUBLICAN. you’d be run out of here for fat-shaming a woman or a Democrat, but yeah, I was thinking Gawker would be past the fat-shaming thing in 2015. apparently still allowed based on your politics.

LOL. sometimes the minor league games are far more entertaining than the pros. who do I need to bl*w to get out of the greys?

my point exactly- one was far closer to a ‘noosing’ and one was basically a guy grabbing a girl around the next for about 1 second. it wasn’t noosing in the latter in my opinion.

Garner was a noosing in that the cop choked him, continued choking him after his hands had gone up, continued choking him while on the ground and continued choking him to the point of murdering him.

assholes like me (African-American Studies minor- U of MD. Yes. Really) would love to be able to have discussions about important topics without being called ‘asshole’ by people who cannot comprehend that we are not a monolith and can actually think for ourselves. I found the word offensive but again, it’s Gawker. He…

“noosing”? really? I get that you obviously have a strong opinion on this and your article is great, but wow. The Eric Garner video- yeah, that word applies with all its racial meaning in that case, not here. Then again, it’s Gawker- hyperbole isn’t something to be used sparingly when clicks are on the line.

yes I do think she bears SOME responsibility for what happened. remember a few months (last year?) when the cop at some UC campus walked up and down a line of peaceful sit-in protesters and pepper sprayed them. again, I see a difference between this girl refusing 3 school officials vs. someone at a sit-in who goes…

“but again, let’s not pretend this girl was Rosa Parks sitting on a bus for justice.”

“you are wrong.” the hallmark of an internet d’bag when it’s a matter of opinion, not fact. thanks, goodnight sweet “moderate” liberal republican prince.

exactly- the cop overreacted and should face punishment. the girl who refused her teacher, her assistant principal and the cop’s request to get up also is no angel. deserved to be tossed like a ragdoll? nope. but I bet if someone yanked her by her arm there’d be people here screaming about that.

“but again, let’s not pretend this girl was Rosa Parks sitting on a bus for justice.”

if she ignored the teacher and he had to call the resource officer, ignored him, he called the assistant principal, she ignored him and finally a cop was called....

ah yes, the SJW’s first defense- cry racism. actually no, I think both of them needed to be arrested. you are correct that the mac-n-cheese d’bag shoved his finger at the manager once, but the manager didn’t react and they continued arguing.

and you admit that she was wrong. so yup, 2 wrongs don’t make a right.

so what would you do if the teacher told her to leave. the resource officer told her to leave. the assistant principal told her to leave. the cop told her to leave, grabbed her to try to get her out of the chair and she yanked her hand back. did he overreact? again, yup. I also think the cop overreacted when they…

she ignored the teacher. he called the assistant principal whom she ignored who then called the cop. yeah, again, we both agree she didn’t deserve to be a contestant in a dwarf tossing contest. she also shares some of the blame for basically being a sh*thead and ignoring her teacher, her assistant principal and a cop…

why is a cop in a school? because not all of us went to lovely suburban schools like you did. my alma mater has a metal detector now. know why? take a guess. so yeah, sometimes kids go to real crappy schools.
