It’s all in the staffing of these places. Staffing, training, and adequate budgets. On average, outcomes in state-run homes are (or used to be) better than private ones. That may have changed.

That is fucking criminal. Get this on record and take it to people who can help you fight.

What they bitch about is the ‘freeloader’ paying what would be a normal price anywhere else.

They want to sell the build AND get a further pound of flesh out of him.

Just have to keep your wits about you.

What the hell? Little shit deserves real prison time.

Way to detract from this young man’s achievements and the tragedy of his death.

Fake pineapple.

Society treats sex between underage boys (preferably with double-digit ages) and ‘grown-ass women’ as a rite of passage and evidence that he’s a real man. This is why we’re only hearing so much about this crime now: we’ve figured out that this isn’t in any way, shape, form, or fashion right.

Some probably think you’re objecting to the lack of jail time for lying.

You folks were probably getting that bonus anyway.

Mass-produced crap from sweatshops in China, where knowledge of racial matters in the U.S. is absolutely nil.

They’re hideous to show how far they’ve fallen, and because it’s an easy way to communicate that they ARE demons. These paintings, drawings, and statues were on display where uneducated laypeople would see them, so the images had to be easy to interpret.

The worker doing the stocking wants to keep a shitty job because they were probably lucky to get it.

Ezekiel’s vision is a mangling of older ideas.

He just didn’t care until the cameras showed up. Then he tried to save face by removing them.

Tip to the makers of such statuary: paint the demon a wonderfully blatant red that can never be found among humans.

Police are now acting as if they’re in action movies. ‘Dragnet’ and ‘Adam-12' might have been idealized a bit, but there was a time when police didn’t automatically see non-police as the enemy (whatever they may have thought of minorities).

“The man is following all the procedures to gain custody of his son. Plainly, he does not care about the child.” If anybody said that out loud, even the abuser would give the stink-eye. But the entire system basically said that about Crawford.

Teenage girls can be absolute bitches to each other. “You made me look stupid online, so I’m going to smear X on your stuff” is right in keeping with the ‘top this’ nature of inter-female conflict. We’ll never know if her choice of contaminants would have been different had she been angry at a white or Asian roommate.
