Look, I agree that the way society treat mental illness is wrong. But that doesn’t change the fact that when a woman is murdered, in the vast majority of cases her killer is her spouse/boyfriend/ex. And mental illness may account for some of those cases but the biggest issue here is still domestic violence, sexism and…

You know who really didn’t win? The poor woman who ended up bleeding out and dying on the sidewalk in front of her house after being brutally attacked and repeatedly stabbed by her boyfriend.

Not all mentally ill people. Just the ones who are a danger to themselves and to others. As this guy clearly was, if it’s even true he had a history of mental illness.

Thanks. In that case, the fact that Hillary didn’t even let them into her rally should be receiving attention as well.

If he really is so mentally ill that he was a danger to those around him, he should have been medicated and/or locked up in the first place. Being mentally ill isn’t a free pass to commit murder, you know.

I know. That’s why I said I also understand the sentiment behind expecting more from Bernie Sanders. But it still doesn’t change the fact that he’s getting more criticism from BLM than either Hillary or Jeb, when we all know they’re the most likely to be the actual presidential candidates. And I don’t think that’s…

Yup. That’s my take on Sanders as well. He’s having a moment, and that’s great, but when it comes time for the primaries and picking a nominee, the Dems will go with Hillary.

I remember that. At the same time though, it was an interesting election from a sociological point of view. And it’s true that anywhere between 60 and 70% of black voters (in that particular election) in California did vote in favour of Prop 8, despite something like 94% of them voting in favour of Obama and being…

I should preface this by saying that I’m not American and even though I live here, I am still very much a foreigner observing the US political landscape. And even though I was here for the 2012 election that was more about getting Obama reelected and race wasn’t as big of an issue in that campaign the way it looks…

Yeah, honestly the exorcism shit is only relevant if he took PCP or something crazy and the drugs literally made him lose his mind and this is the first time that had ever happened. But if this asshole has a history of violence (and let’s face it, he probably does) and there’s a history of DV in their relationship…

I understand DuVernay’s tact and diplomacy. This is an important movie and equally important is its degree of success. But I think it goes beyond that and speaks to the fact that we can enjoy a movie and recognise that it’s great (I haven’t seen this yet so it’s greatness is hypothetical for now) even if it not only…

Yeah what a load of bullshit. And wtf, Ice Cube?

Huh?

That’s what I thought. But then my roommate pointed out that Dylan Roof specifically sought out a black church to shoot up and that maybe some other racist asshole would think the same about a screening of this movie.

Maybe. But I thought Arche shoes were nicer? These are kind of gross and remind me of Dansko.

Oh, please. Anyone who heard that rumour asked themselves the same question upon hearing of this story.

I was wondering if it was the same step-granddaughter that he was rumoured to have dated. But even if it were, this has nothing to do with that because the man who stabbed her was an ex-boyfriend (at least according to another article I read). Either way, horribly sad.

I’m not really sure if they really cut her off or if we’re making a story where there isn’t one:

He continued to lament that the bandage style had become popular with reality show stars, adding that he “refuses to give free dresses to celebrities if they are judged to lack sufficient class.”

I get your point but at the same time I feel people need to know about this, especially the idiot teenage girls running away from Western countries to voluntarily join IS and become Jihadi brides.
