The original prosecutor said that because Arbery grabbed the barrel of the gun and tried to fight, that was considered self-defense.

I don’t know why they aren’t also charging them with false imprisonment. That’s the impetus to this whole crime.
Throw in the cops giving these guys cover for a very obvious series of crimes and lies about those crimes. It’s the definition of a criminal conspiracy.

The fact that Ahmaud Arbery was murdered in February and it’s only being investigated now, after an intense campaign of pressure to do so...show that moves to arrest and convict mean very little for long term change. Call me when they abolish the police and pay the savings into black communities as reparations

Did anyone else watch the second season of “You” and think that the creepy pedo Henderson character was meant to be D’Elia?

How about engaging your friend in a good-faith discussion about the issues.  Perhaps she isn’t becoming a member of the alt right, but simply questioning some of the orthodoxy she’s been taught.  Perhaps she’s simply becoming more moderate.  

As someone else pointed out on Twitter, the real crime is that this psycho ordered a McMuffin instead of a McGriddle. The delay was probably them having to call corporate and ask how to make the dang thing.

Let’s check on her police department for recent brutality complaints, because it looks like the threshold for “I fear for my life” seems to be a lukewarm hash brown.

Does she think that every time McDonald’s makes you wait for your food that the employees are messing with it? Because the McDonald’s near me makes people wait all the time. I always assumed it was just. because they were busy

Anyone that has a sobbing meltdown over waiting for fast food needs to have their gun removed and to have their fitness for duty evaluated. 

Let’s not forget all those Starbucks coffees with “Pig” on them... because the police ordered them online with “Pig” set as their name.

Typically that is how it is done, the teacher “interviews” the kid and then writes down the funny answers. It’s more a historical documentation of what the kid thinks at a particular age. Like asking them what they want to be when they grow up, or seeing how they view the world around them. 

“So it’s been weird navigating that. When I was growing up I didn’t know if I was supposed to love TLC or Britney.”

Agreed. It’s not about how Halsey herself identifies, people see her and make that judgement for her. She cannot claim persecution when that split second judgment has given her a great deal of privilege. In any case you don’t have to present blackness to be pro-black. Her TLC vs Britney Spears quote highlights just…

I’ve never been comfortable with the blowback influencers like Kendal Jenner and Bella Hadid have experienced for the Fyre Festival debacle. Aren’t they victims in all that, too? Why should it fall on them to inspect the product they were contracted to sell? That’s not their department. They were paid to promote; they…

who accidentally says that? how does that just accidentally roll of the tongue?

Where’s the point of this story? Nobody in the picture seems less than 6ft apart except the people that are probably sharing a household anyway - basically following the widely accepted guideline to prevent/minimize infection risk?

It seems like someone she knows. She could have had some type of relationship with the perpetrator as a friend or romantic partner. This gave him the access to her party, home, passports and why no one thought it odd she was leaving the party with him or traveling internationally with him.

I think the problem with believing her is the whole, “and then trafficked to a foreign country, where she was raped before the assailant brought her back home”

Yeah, I can’t really get up the energy to be outraged about this when Planned Parenthood is being decimated and access to birth control and abortion are being absolutely fucking NUKED. Yeah, it sucks, and yeah, we’re all in this together, but your desire to have a baby does not trump somebody’s need for an abortion.…

Yeah, sorry, cry me a river but your fertility treatments are not a right, having children is not a right (unless you can naturally conceive them), and yeah it sucks if as a result of the pandemic some people might miss their window for fertility treatments but right now the focus is on postponing all non-emergency…
