Jezebel posters: thoughts?

the dude you are replying to is a troll. He’s usually of the anti-feminist variety, but it seems today he’s also of the racist variety.

Where are you seeing this proof that his arms were up? In the helicopter footage, it looks like he’s reaching into his car window, and in the dashcam footage, you can’t see him at all at that moment.

Maybe they just weren’t close? Maybe she expected this to happen to him eventually?

What the fuck what the fuck how does this keep happening

Am I the only one shocked but not really shocked that the one time we actually have a police chief decrying the shooting and saying justice will be served it’s when it was a female officer doing the shooting?

Meanwhile, an alleged terrorist actually shoots 2 cops and gets taken alive.

It looked like he was reaching into the open car window. His arms did not appear to be up when he was shot. Is there more footage than just the helicopter angle?

Since we’re on the subject of awful movies starring pop musicians, which would be better if I was theoretically both drunk and high: Crossroads or Spice World?

Glitter was actually fun, until my friends and I got kicked out for talking back to the screen too much. The people around us weren’t as amused as we were and wanted to watch it seriously. We couldn’t help ourselves, it was just too bad. The theater actually called the cops on us because we were so rowdy. I still…

You realize that’s a Cherrelle song, right? And that Robert Palmer covered it in 1985?

If I can start seeing things after just a few days of limited sleep, I can’t imagine what weeks or months of that would do to someone’s brain.

I’d heard lots of vague rumors that “exhaustion” was coded language for “substance abuse issues”, but it sound like she really was just overworked until her brain started to lock up.

Yes, it is, but she was on drugs (and is bipolar). Only a fucking idiot would believe the shit that her publicist was pushing in 2001. I didn’t believe it 15 years ago, and I’m shocked that anyone is stupid enough to believe it today.

Fuck off, you pearl-clutching bore. Nothing that I’ve written in my time on Gawker Media has been racist. Disagree? Screencap it and post that shit. I’ll wait.

I assumed you disliked her because of this.

Why wouldn’t she be? Still trying to make that “patchouli & weed” thing happen, when anyone with an IQ over 70 knows it wasn’t racist?

Oh you have a point. The point you are making is that you are a vile bag of shit. Point made.

You’re also bad at comedy.

Somewhere in there is a metaphor (or something) harkening back to the conspiracy theorists who were convinced 9/11 was an inside job carried off to get the US into a war in the Middle East.
