I do the same, and I would think one would be especially careful in a tweet about a hate crime and murder.

He has only the Best Words!

This. Maybe he didn’t intend any disrespect, but it’s hard to get the tone right in 140 characters, especially when Donald himself has been whipping up anti-Muslim sentiment. Use your words, guy, and put out a real statement.

Not to mention why use Twitter in the first place? How about a statement on White House Letterhead, with a signature, on the official White House Website? This post really nails why:

If I ever get deathly ill or murdered I would like people to do a little more than pray. Like chip in for my medical bills or help my family through the grieving process. Let God answer prayers *through you*, people! (Or something.)

Thank you. I feel a little bad for calling the person out by username. Next time, I will let that part go. I keep learning here that being negatively reactive does not feel good.

Thank you for the additional information and link.

I thought the exact same thing. He couldn’t even spare the second it would’ve taken to spell it out.

There is also a third man who survived the stabbing . He is hospitalized in Portland his throats was also slashed . The white supremacist who stabbed all 3 of these men had harassed another woman the evening before the stabbings

Thank you. I feel a little bad for calling the person out by username. Next time, I will let that part go. I keep learning here that being negatively reactive does not feel good.

Huh. I seem to have been dismissed.

I also think it’s telling that this White House has no thoughts, just prayers to offer

“According to ABC, one parent posted on social media that students should respect Ryan because he has a fancy job, no matter how much you may want health insurance someday.”

This lady, in additon to being a racist, sounds like a special class of fruit loop (O pioneer, if you move to a predominantly black neighborhood, maybe expect to see black folks standing on the sidewalk outside of your house?). But WTF is going on with the Southampton police? Per the Press:

I came here and didn’t see color.

Depends on the gesture, I suppose. Personally, I like to unfurl the middle finger, taking my time to luxuriate in the target’s fury.

It’s flipped. Nobody says flicked. Maybe people from certain parts of the country? Never heard it in my 42 years.

Nope, you are not wrong. Flipping the Bird. Not flick.

I think Miss Manners states that it can be both.

Flicked? I thought it was flipped, have I been wrong this whole time?
