What I thought was interesting (horrifying) was that the sheriff was like “No one ever reports on the guys who shoot people up indiscriminately!” First of all, yes they do, and second of all, isn’t that like saying “man, no one ever talks about all the people Hitler DIDN’T kill!”

Came to the comment section to say exactly this. Water should be denied to NO PERSON who needs it for any reason. I was pleased to see your response was at the top.

The Sheriffs claim he doesn’t know who the victim is, is Bullshit. I can guarantee a report was done and because of the death that report made it to his desk.

He could be a serial killer-rapist who, when not murdering or raping likes to torture puppies and throw kittens off bridges, and was finally caught when he tried to shoot up a daycare and THIS IS STILL NOT OKAY.

“That fucking Uncle Tom Trump-fellating sheriff can kiss my Black ass. Fuck him” <----THIS...

It’s not even execution, it’s torture and execution.

There is nothing conservatives love more than a self-hating black person.

Sheriff Clarke, Justice Thomas, Dr. Carson, Omarosa?

They are the modern Jig-a-Boos that whites delight upon.

If there are no cabs/ubers/lyfts in your area you can call your local fire department or police department and they will have to give you a ride home (for free). Since you notified them that you are intoxicated they become liable if they refuse to drive you home and you get in an accident. (I’m an substance abuse…

Fucking horrific. I don’t care what he did. No one should be tortured to death by dehydration. On top of that, he should have been getting treatment for his obvious mental illness. Anyone who doesn’t find this man’s death egregious, criminal, and horrific is a monster. That fucking Uncle Tom Trump-fellating sheriff…

The reason no one mentions the dead man’s crimes is that they are irrelevant to the way he was treated while in custody. 

Thomas was diagnosed with a bipolar disorder and his family claims the shooting was sparked by a mental breakdown, an allegation that could be backed up by his erratic behavior, as described by The Washington Post

Ah yes, not only is it racist, but there’s the nice additional dehumanization of describing people of color as food.

It sickens me, but this looks almost identical to the rape trial I was a juror for: 9 women, 3 men, and a piece-of-shit defense attorney who proceeded to try and suggest that yoga pants were “asking for it” for three fucking days.

Not to get too political, but those lady jurors were Trump voters. I’m almost positive.

I can’t even ...between this and the Vogue piece on Melania ... I’m done.

You can’t try three cases at the same time that have nothing to do with each other except the defendant.

Jesus wept. I’m sure it was legal wrangling but why weren’t they trying all three cases together?!

Wow. I feel like this is the lede. This argument f-ing WON THE DAY. What is wrong with women?!?!?

Oh you have got to be fucking kidding me, he got off?!?!

I’m glad that she has been found and I hope that she gets the counseling that she needs. What’s sad is that throughout this whole ordeal, the majority of comments I’ve seen on local news sites have put as much blame on her as they have the teacher. Apparently she didn’t looked scared in the CCTV footage they caught…
