The way to get rid of so much of the Dark Money?  Reverse the Citizens United Supreme Court decision.

I watched the trial and from what msnbc, etc reported, I was fully expecting to see a jerk causing trouble, and just killing innocent people. But after watching all of the videos, I can see self defense.

Only if they actually attack you first. But I’m sure you know that, you’re just pretending you don’t.

I hate guns, I hate people with guns (no offense to anyone here who owns guns), I hate open and concealed carry laws, I hate the NRA, and I kind of hate the Second Amendment. But I try really hard to not let my political, moral, or social values color my perception of facts. And I thought the facts in this case…

There’s a significant difference between “being afraid” and “Being chased down by an angry dude who has already threatened to kill you and is reaching for your weapon”. The former only gives you the right to remove yourself from the situation. The latter, however, has ALWAYS meant you can defend yourself.

Nobody got the “Death penalty”. One person with mental problems decided to attack somebody else at the urging of somebody who (apparently?) had no mental issues. Self defense ensued. The only person arguably “trying to solve problems by shooting at each other in the street” is the person that initiated the attack.…

He brought a loaded weapon to a protest and paraded around with it for all to see. That an act of agression.

You know nobody involved in this is black, right? Kyle’s Hispanic and the three shot were white people. Also, none of the three were there to support BLM. One actually DID have an illegal handgun and the other one was only there because his baby mama threw him out of the house for being an abusive asshole once again,…

SUE THEM ALL, KYLE!

i think you meant to say the skateboard loses

I’m very surprised your comment made it through the Jezebel filter.

Hmm, I’ve seen more violent protests allowed to fester due to optics of the time as well.

Also, just because people are involved in nonviolent protest, it doesn’t negate criminality. Go block the police from leaving their station. You’ll be arrested.

This argument reminds me of “another unarmed black man was shot” as if…

It will never work for quite a few reasons. We need police, sometimes more, to start.

Defund the police is predicated on anger with police brutality. The problem is that, when stats are checked and you weigh police brutality against violent crime, violent crime destroys it by a wide margin so average joe voter is going…

“Defund the Police” idiots are part of what has to be the most embarrassing and short-sighted political movement I’ve seen in my entire life. 

I think you missed one showing up in the comments, where people try to make the case that a clump of cells is more important than a full grown woman’s bodily autonomy.   The calls are coming from inside the house.

I can’t even see my own comment in pending. It’s been stupid for a while. First, it wouldn’t go to my comments when someone liked or replied to them. (So I’d have to scroll through every single comment to find it). 

the thing that just kind of blows my mind in the comments section is that I’ve read every single possible response to this law except people need to be more responsible about having sex. As if that’s some sort of anti liberal, anti-feminist behavior. 

imagine if the women who were raped or the victims of incest or who were in danger of losing their lives if they had their babies didn’t have women like the subject of this article ruining the procedure for them. to be sure, she is emblematic of why anti abortion people hate abortion so much. ambitionless.…

Not sure if this is some kind of Kinja issue but I have seen several replies to my posts on this particular thread (through my notification) but none of them are showing up on the board, even those labelled ‘pending’. Not sure why this is happening.

Details? Timeline? Amount given? How long does the government have to ‘assist’ this child and the parent(s)? I don’t insist anything, just curious about adults excluding those 19 and under which is 12% of abortions.
