This is the kind of change we need. Start locally. Expand nationwide. Come on November. Each and every election is important.

First of all, he did not say that. You clearly did not read what he said. He said that white people were heavily involved in the Civil Rights movement and in anti-war protests, and died for these causes. These are historical facts. Second of all, please tell me who freed the slaves? LOL.

That family put skin in the game when they didn’t have to. There are a lot of unsung folks just like this.

I look at it as let’s not diminish the contributions of those who put significant skin in the game. All of those who provided underground railroad stops, all those who lobbied for the abolishment of slavery, all of the normal citizens who treated black-folk as equals who were called ninjalovers for doing so and never…

When my family moved into Navy Officer’s Housing in San Diego in 1966 there were a lot of unhappy white people in the neighborhood. My father was stationed in Vietnam at the time when my mother moved her five children including 9-year-old me, into that all-white neighborhood. I was called “nigger” by more than a few…

Cute memes aside, if there are no consequences for murdering civilians, why would they act to stop it? One family is forever deprived of their son/brother/cousin/father/uncle etc... and one family shrugs and continues ala 1999?

Nah, his friends, family, and fiancée should be reminded what kind of shitheel this guy is and who they are choosing to spend time and their lives with. Stephon’s family will be reminded of that every day for their lives.

Nah, I’m fine with this haunting him his entire life. Every private moment that Stephon ought to have but never can thanks to this guy, someone should be there to remind him what he did. There needs to start being consequences, a ruined wedding is small potatoes compared to a lost life.

I dunno, I think letting the bride know she’s marrying a murderous asshole might count as a public fucking service. I don’t care about their discomfort. 

Even in the midst of our pain and anguish we have to consider how our actions are affecting other people who are only tangentially involved in a terrible, terrible situation.

So are backyards.

Why are weddings off limits?  Standing in his own backyard minding his own business wasn’t.

Remember, folks: protestors inconveniencing a killer cop who wants a publicly-acknowledged wedding will break our fragile democracy apart...

I’m not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, you have a man who killed someone walking around free as a bird, living his life without suffering any real consequences that we know of and folks decided to make a statement. For people who knew Clark, his children, etc. this dude who killed him out here living his…

True accountability can only come from our impartial judicial system

Taking a human life is cool, though. WAY more disrespectful to disrupt a wedding than it is to slay another human being. Why, the officer getting married could have his special day of nuptials marred by the very real fact that he ended another sentient creature’s existence! Marred, I say, marred!

YES!

He’s all right now, but last week he was in rough shape.
