I am a mother and let me tell you, self control is all that stands between me and jail when it comes to the kids.

Um, isn’t the prison who provides the inmates with toothpaste? That’s some bullshit. But sounds like typical shitty overly blown up punishment for small offenses from certain corrections officers with a chip on their shoulder and an overly inflated sense of power. Indefinite solitary confinement over any of that shit,…

Obviously they’re targeting her, but does someone who’s familiar with military prisons know what the objection to the books was? Was it that she had too many (I know civilian prisons have limits), the content of the books (none of them are obscene...and I Am Malala seems like a work with educational value), or to…

I would put good money on the Chargers and Raiders both moving.

...where it would’ve been a mass shooting instead.

Even the local paper named him. He has already locked his office up and gone into hiding.

If Zimbabwe wants to extradite Walter Palmer to be prosecuted for what looks like several crimes here, let’s hope the US gives him up without a peep. Looks like they’re already prosecuting the local people involved:

Can’t even make that shitty argument here, as he bribed people to obtain access to the lion. It’s one thing when you pay a park or conservation group who then use the funds to improve the habitat (still a gross thing to do, just donate the fucking money, you don’t need to kill a rhino), but that didn’t happen here.

Trophy hunter truthers who think that this kind of shit helps animal conservation are absolutely the fucking worst.

Just because you believed in the rule of law doesn’t mean you believe in equality.

It was going to be published when she died anyway. There’s no way that someone wouldn’t have put it out posthumously. I’m sure there are people other than Harper Lee making money from it, but at least the bulk of the money goes directly to her instead of to other people after her death.

For me at least, I didn’t remember his racism because I read the book so long ago (junior high) that the mythology surrounding TKAM overtook the actual content of the text.

I always thought that Atticus hated the Ewells way more than he disliked black people. Of course he was racist, but the Ewells were white trash and Mayella was totally slut-shamed. Don't get me wrong, I loved the book. It was problematic as hell, but it's of the time it was written.

This was never a mystery to me. There was no way Atticus Finch couldn’t be a racist. EVERYONE was racist at that time. Just because you believed in the rule of law doesn’t mean you believe in equality.

Yes, they suffer loneliness and they are also sociopathic monsters. When I was 19 I did a lot of stupid stuff. That mostly involved drinking too much and ghosting on guys I made out with but wasn’t interested which was pretty much all of them. I did not physically assault anyone or attempt to set them on fucking fire.…

They should serve time first. They are adults, not little kids. At 19 you shouldn't need parental supervision in order to not assault. They committed a horrible crime and they should all get a stiff sentence before being deported.

Just a criminal record will do it. That will torpedo any chances of them getting into a college here.

They need therapy. Lots and lots of therapy.

I don’t care how much loneliness they suffer. They are monsters for doing that. They need to be sent home, never to return to the States.

Why is the women’s team so good and the men’s team isn’t?
