So? People still have legal rights during searches. She was only providing him with information on legal resources, and the police’s response to that was disproportionate.

Maybe the good State of Mississippi could claim eminent domain and preserve this as a monument to the horrific suffering of the Tills and the birth of The Civil Rights Movement?

No, they are saying that, unlike their republican counterparts, democratic voters actually believe in morality and as such Cuomo won’t make it past Iowa.

Its not happy story - but I hardly see how its sadder than it appeared. 

The boyfriend made suicidal comments on a call with the sheriff’s office earlier that day

I am currently focused on living and enjoying life, not what others think of me or what I look like, so I can’t really relate to taking the time out to get something tattoo’d onto my body for some obscure reason or another.

As others have pointed out many people did answer the door. She had left before they got there. It was 3:00 am and people were sleeping so response time wasn’t exactly immediate. Just because she had moved on by the time they got to the door doesn't mean it wasn't possible to get help.

My mom ran to seven or so houses in the middle of the night after a home invasion/kidnapping/sexual assault. The people in the last house answered but wouldn’t let her in, although the husband stood watch by the window while his wife went to call 911. My mom waited on their porch for the cops to arrive. An…

The video evidence of her running and ringing doorbells was recorded on Friday 8/24.

“This story is stranger, and sadder, than it initially appears.”

“Hedberg then veered into a bizarre anecdote about a couple abducted from a restaurant while awaiting a table.”

I don’t even understand this article. Was Jezebel mad that Vulture changed their story to not ruin his comedy set, so they decided to rehash it to actively try to ruin it instead?

I think the problem was less that the woman in question was a vindictive ‘groupie’ and more that Ansari did what many men have been taught that it’s okay to do; which was paying little mind to her consistent verbal and body language that said she was not interested in going further with him than they were. Of course…

Was Ansari ever really shunned though? As far as I know, his show wasn’t cancelled and there seemed to be a general consensus that the Babe article was shitty journalism and that what was described in it hardly rose to the level of #metoo worthy outrage, and that we needed to have a conversation about how he acted…

It’s funny. This site will not shut up about Pete and Ariana’s “true wuv! Please let those crazy kids make it!” when, to me, that pairing has disastrous end written all over it.

Yes! This mofo is actually acting like antifascist groups who physically fight back against Nazis are gonna...what? Attack Christians if more Democrats are elected? These idiots love to imagine themselves as persecuted minorities as their religion dominates and they strip rights from others. 

At some point the naysaying becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I hope you are doing something affirmative (volunteering, donating) rather than lament about how the fight looks hard. Hard fights are worth fighting. People said similar things about Doug Jones and Conor Lamb.

No, it just means like most cancer patients he went into hospice far, far too late.

GOP then: “There is still no evidence that Trump’s campaign conspired with Russia.”
*evidence emerges that Trump’s campaign conspired with Russia*
GOP now: “There is still no evidence that Trump himself conspired with Russia.”
*evidence emerges that Trump himself conspired with Russia*
GOP tomorrow: “There is still no…

“Makes it sound like he was continuing to take the pills as he feared overdose” not really. “overdosing” is commonly used to describe the state of being in a overdose, not just the act of taking an overdose
