Stephen A. has longstanding contempt for perpetrators of black-on-black crime.

A-fucking-men.

Shots fired. Send an ambulance. Send all the ambulances.

SIDEBAR: Everyone seems so enchanted by the victimhood of having the Big Bad Internet Bullies out to get them that they cant see or admit that almost all of the criticsm is from longtime readers and commenters who are just completely disgusted by the post and, I think, even more disgusted by all the responses and…

Ummm. Being public doesnt have to do with your position in life. Being public is when the public knows you.

Officers for ‘decent sized companies’ are not public figures.

Even former writers like Adam Weinstein and Lindy West cant help but bring it up almost compulsively. Everyone seems so enchanted by the victimhood of having the…
