The birds are a-chirping, it's a midterm election year, and romance is in the air. Ah yes, as political parties…
I am having the time of my life explaining that even in the case of a suspect in a felony, heck even in the case of a unarmed felon, extra judicial justice that robs the target of Due Process is wrong.
No one seems to get that. They also don't understand the importance that THE OFFICER DIDN"T KNOW MIKE BROWN WAS A…
The band of trigger-happy chickens running the Ferguson Police Department finally released the name of the officer…
Well, they were so eager to post her interrogation tape, and shame her publicly because we are all in a Hawthorne novel, that they probably didn't even watch what they were posting. I hope she gets it all! Ridiculous, this could have ramifications for the rest of her life.
Whoa. I didn't realize that it gave out her social security number! What the fuck is wrong with them? I hope she gets a decent amount of cash from those assholes and I'm happy she got her job back. God, this woman deserves a break already.
I...can not with this week as a young black woman I like to think of myself as optimistic but they are wearing me down. It upsets me because she isn't even talking to a black person and yet the n-word comes out of her mouth and all brown people look alike amirite? It flowed out too you can tell she uses it all the…
She's also really irrationally obsessed with his mother and who she had sex with. Is that a racist thing? Do racists fixate on the personal lives of people's moms now?
While I agree that the militarization of police is a major problem here in addition to an underlying race issue, we prosecute and sentence men of color at far higher rates and with more severe sentencing than we do white men for the same crimes. We stop and arrest men of color at far higher rates, even though there…
And the media is complicit in this also. All the people who showed up at Ted Bundy's ranch with guns blazing were called "supporters" and the protestors in Ferguson were referred to as an "angry mob" on Saturday, 24 whole hours before any kind of looting started. Sometimes it all just seems so hopeless, and feels like…
Yeah, I don't even care at this point if normal burners like me get caught up in it as long as they get rid of these Stormfront dipshits. And Deadspin is by far one of the least affected by the sudden infux of racist halfwits, it's way worse over at Gawker.
"There are reasons why white gun's rights activists can walk into a Chipotle restaurant with assault rifles and be seen as gauche nuisances while unarmed black men are killed for reaching for their wallets or cell phones, or carrying children's toys."
The United States of America is not for black people. We know this, and then we put it out of our minds, and then…
At least he's better than that good-for-nothing dropout brother of his, Mr. Pibb.
But school lunches a) affect children's health, b) desperately need improvement, and c) can be directly changed by the government.
I think he's a doctor like Dr Pepper is a doctor.
What could Michelle Obama possibly drop? That ass does not look like fat to me and even if it is, well, everyone has fat. That's normal and healthy. I just...I don't get it. Her bod is smokin especially at her age. (Don't jump down my throat. It's harder to stay in shape as you get older. I'm saying it's obvious she…
This guy is a psychiatrist? Please don't tell me he actually sees patients. And it will never cease to amaze me the number of fat guys (yes, he's fat) who feel comfortable loudly assessing a woman's body.
The craziest thing to me in the aftermath of these killings is how accepting most people are of the militarization of the police. I fully expect that when video footage is found (dashcam or otherwise), Mike Brown will have done nothing that could warrant a reaction with fatal force, but people will still look and…
18-year-old Michael Brown was gunned down on Saturday by a Ferguson police officer in St. Louis. Witnesses say Brown…
