I mean, most people know by the age of 19 that brutally murdering people is wrong. She has complete culpability for her own actions here. I could understand granting parole if she had just guarded the door while someone else did the actual killing, but she participated actively and willingly.

I find it pretty cringeworthy in its execution, but it’s also entirely self-aware that it’s ridiculous—the fact that men are so basic that such a stupid move could attract them is the joke here.

well theyre kind of right. These people have sex with hundreds of people without a condom. Its not only dangerous for those involved, but it also endorses unprotected sex. Condoms should be required. Problem solved.

There have been white people killed by cops and grannies tazed and academics harassed but maybe it’s not covered enough for people to realize it’s not just a black thing (I know not even in comparable numbers, and I’m sorry if this reads like I’m trying to dismiss that this is a primarily a penalty the poor and brown…

Since the attackers are reported to be Muslim refugees (not reported above because, well, Gawker) perhaps he’s refering to immigration laws.

Your post made me tear up. My 2.5-year-old son has spastic diplegia CP and wears AFOs. Luckily, it’s relatively mild in his case, but his gross motor delays mean that he’s still not standing or walking independently. We’re hoping to get him up walking within the next year, but it’s always going to be an adjustment for…

You do a really good job describing the absolute primal rage one feels when a loved one gets mocked or treated like your brother did. I don’t know where it comes from but it’s powerful. As an aside, my wife and I often say that one of the many silver linings that came from our 2nd son being born with Down syndrome is…

If we amend the constitution, yes.

No words to express my horror at peoples’ lack of decency. This goes beyond a lack of decency - everyone who posted pictures of her should be arrested. Peoples’ need to one-up each other with shock value on social media has gone too far, it’s sick and perverted.

Except his reason for why he gave the sentence he did would apply to literally every Stanford student and he didn’t even come close to following California law. That’s not just “disagreeing” with him.

This culture of mass incarceration has so shaped our minds that when a judge, like Judge Persky in this case, undertakes a holistic sentencing analysis that accounts for both the victim and the convicted, we still insist on arbitrary, lengthy terms of incarceration as the response to crime.

This is excellent! If Imams in Muslim countries allowed and encouraged these types of metaphorical interpretations to the Koran, you would see the dramatic growth of LGBT and women’s rights. We can only hope.

Does this also apply to race? If I’m white and cannot be classified as East Asian even though it is my “will”, is it also fascism?

This is way too reasonable a comment for this crowd.

This is not an argument and it is not fascism. Binary gender identification serves important social and legal objectives. Civil rights, employment, education, criminal justice, etc. are shaped and influenced by gender identification. They would be impossible to administer if one’s gender changes based on the…

I have plenty to lose. One of my parents came here “illegally.” But I’d rather we were all sent back than to have a warmonger, rape apologist, and oligarchy leader as president. And I’m NOT a BernieBro.

I think she’s a terrible, dishonest, self-serving politician who’d eat her child if it furthered her own career.

In short, she’s Donald Trump sans the real estate holdings.

What makes you think that she wants to see Trump elected president?
