I don't really have the energy to teach you how quotation marks work, but it may shock you to learn that quotation marks likely played no part of what he—-verbally—-said to his neighbor. And without actually, you know, hearing him say it... you, nor I, have no idea what he was referring to.

Plus, he's not white. I know it's a rotten cherry on top of the shit sundae, but I definitely can see NYPD throwing another minority to the wolves as a token (in all senses of the word) sacrifice, not because he flat out murdered a civilian, but because his loss won't harm the power structure.

I thought the SOA scene was VERY distasteful. This tough, professional woman yanked off her wig to reveal gorgeous tight braids and said "Time to go 'hood, sister." Really??? Braids are "hood"?

It's kind of hard to rebuild the trust with the people you've killed.

My late bro was a really dark man and he said EVERY DAY he had to leave early because some cop would stop him sure he was carrying drugs or if they over heard him speaking Arabic would demand to see his id to make sure he was legal. New York is great if you are rich and white.

The system is not broken. It was never meant to protect black people.

Well I guess this counters the idea that body cameras will help mitigate the problem.

Honestly, I'm just done with everything. If the end times are actually supposed to come, they need to come now. Everyone sucks.

Yeah, you're a bad person, and also a moron

Because Jezebel is as much gossip rag as feminist publication? Seriously, though, even dyed-in-the-wool feminists can be pretty terrible at recognizing and calling out the rank transphobia that's still entrenched in many corners of the modern feminist movement.

Mark is a gay man and he does not care about transgender people.

you're talking about a company that would rather let their employees starve than pay them a decent wage. It doesn't matter f there is an "upside" for them. People will rally in support of Walmart like they did chick Fil a because people are fucking awful. You can believe it or not I don't give a fuck. I choose to…

Eh, I don't know if I'd classify the oppressed class as representative of the west in general. The majority of the west, white people, are perfectly comfortable with the way things are.

and we prefer feeling safe while living so please go fuck yourself you racist piece of shit

Right. Because I am a terrible parent whose response above was meant to be taken literally. Thanks for the tip.

Thank you for saying this. I'd like to add that if this had been a 17 year old girl and 28 year old man, Jez commenters would be alllllll over this talking about how she was groomed, that she's only a "girl", that she was abused, and all that other "we can't blame her" Camille Cosby style crap.

Trayvon didn't steal anything. You're thinking of Michael Brown, the other high-profile unarmed young man killed for being black.

They are both children. The difference is that Trayvon Martin did not commit a crime.

The pretty always trumphs violence toward women.

I'm sorry. Are we all pretending Rob Lowe didn't statutory rape a 16 year old? Am I mis-remembering facts? Or do we only dislike unattractive rapists, now?
