To me, it’s not obvious that it’s an act of hate. I mean, if the noose (I can’t tell from the pictures I saw) was to be targeted at someone, yeah, no doubt about it. But in this instance, it is an actual practical knot to pull something with a decent amount of weight (like a garage door).

I absolutely hate Trump and wish he’d just drop dead (I actually dreamed he died last night) and I also thought it was a joke he was doing.

nope, they can’t figure that one out. I keep fighting that stupid white live matter bullcrap everytime I see it and I’ve yet to see even one of these idiots able to acknowledge that police intervention against black people is completely disproportionate to the population percentage they represent.

nah, it’s just plain racism, stupidity and privilege, has nothing to do with being white.

Edit: I say that because I’ve seen the same kind of comments done by poc (that aren’t black).

That kind of hate speech should be a jailable offence. 

careful, you absolutely cannot tell who’s the person on the right. That kind of shit is dangerous and shouldn’t be used.

You know, when I read that quote, the first think I’m thinking is “yeah, that match the confederates pretty well”.

Gonna go and give the benefit of the doubt that it was just a practical knot to prevent having excess rope hanging while having a knot that’s pretty strong.

Part of me think it’s well deserved and another of me say that it’s pretty shitty that if he told EG about it and that they were ok with it and all the pretty drastic life changes they forced on that guy only to drop him 3 years later on stuff they were fine with at time of hiring.

Throwing racist insults at someone IS harassment. No matter how you try to spin it, it is.

Just play it as such that behavior dictate alignment rather than alignment dictate behavior. Much easier

Guess what, a sentient cat would be much weaker than a human and a sentient bear would be much stronger than a human. That’s how the world works. Species shouldn’t be equals, it’s a ridiculous concept. Even races aren’t equals (I don’t consider poc to be different races than whites, btw). A polar bear and a black bear…

exactly the point I was gonna make.

I don’t believe that insulting and using racist words against someone is “freedom”. It’s an attack. Why don’t you allow “freedom” of throwing rocks at someone? Because it hurts and injure. The same is true of racism yet it’s “freedom”?

Harassment should NEVER be normalized and protected under freedom of speech. That…

No, because racism is contagious. The more that shit is allowed, the more it spread.
And blatant racism should be a crime that’s punishable by law. It hurt everyone that it’s directed towards and can lead to depression, drugs and alcohol and possibly to suicide.

edit: the comment was aimed at TVG, not at you hdefined2, sorry

The only difference it makes is that the charge against the officer should go from second degree murder to manslaughter. There’s still excessive use of force, work negligence leading to death

so what, it still does not deserve to be killed over.

or man wakes up, notice he’s still drunk/high and go back to sleep.

The what if is a terrible terrible argument to use violence and even more to kill. 

Why is sleeping in a car while drunk a problem to begin with?
