$100 grand seems too low of an amount to sue for considering they slammed a girl suffering from brain tumors head to the ground. Here’s a photo of her during arrest:

And the PR costs of demanding the money from the victims families may be enough to cripple the business entirely- I’d boycott them. Stupid move on their part. Plus, $700,000 in one month seems fairly excessive for any case, though I’m by no means an expert in that field.

Are you kidding?? Cinemark has a net income of 218 million. They can fucking SUCK IT UP.

I spent the last few weeks thinking of a tree that we used to have in the backyard of our old house. All those hours I spent under that tree looking up as the sunlight dripped like honey through the leaves. When the thin cold wire of time wasn’t pressing pushing tight against my neck. There was time back then. There’s…

But they “don’t see color,” remember? We’re all “the same.” What a load of bullshit.

A lot of commenters are really missing the point that the mothers of Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin*, Eric Garner, Mike Brown, and on and on and on managed not to attack any reporters even when they began flocking to report on their children’s deaths. There is another factor besides grief here, and it’s called whiteness.…

Grief didn’t turn that woman into a racist sack of shit.

Absolutely nothing to do with the reporter. They didn’t go knocking on her door bothering her. Betcha this would never happen to the next cop she sees, although they were directly involved. Grief doesn’t give you the right to be an asshole to random people because your family member insisted on being shot.

You completely hated the person being racially abused and assaulted while doing her job?

I can see why someone might be upset with the reporter, but there’s a helluva lot of better ways to handle things than using slurs.

I understand that her son was dead and obviously she was grieving, and people often don’t like to see reporters at the scenes of tragedy, feeling like they’re vultures. I’ve actually held back a screaming friend when reporters showed up after our friends died.

But that is how kids look! Your partners grew up in a society that fetishizes young girls bodies and praises grown women to the degree they are able to replicate them. Your partners aren’t child molesters and there’s nothing morally wrong for any given person to go hairless if that's their preference, but it’s a…

Well, as someone who stopped shaving, I’m pretty sick of everyone telling me I’m unhygenic/gross/ugly/smelly and lazy because I have hair. I’m also tired of seeing dudes (who probably wouldn’t go down anyway) claim any hair on a woman is the reason they won’t eat her out.

In their final moments on earth, these poor girls were fully aware that their own mother was going to blow them away just to spite their father. On his birthday.

Exactly. She apparently posted about how tragic it would be if legislation robbed her of the ability to protect her family. I see that tragedy and raise you this.

Everyone is a responsible gun owner until, you know, suddenly they aren’t.

This is the thing: the NRA members, the gun rights activists, never seem to understand that they’re only a good guy with a gun until they’re a bad guy with a gun. YES, YES, WE WANT TO TAKE YOUR GUNS AWAY, BECAUSE YOU MIGHT USE THEM TO KILL PEOPLE, YOUNG CHILDREN, MEMBERS OF YOUR FAMILY, LAW ENFORCEMENT, WHOEVER.

Yes to both but I still think your first sentence trumps the second.

Agreed, it doesn't belong in journalism.

It’s a definite shift in the vernacular and I hate it so much.
