Stand your Ground is for white men. There was a prosecutor in Florida (IIRC) who explicitly said that the law shouldn’t count for domestic violence victims.

I think we all know why.

Can someone please explain to me why many states are totally cool with Stand Your Ground laws/using deadly force to “prevent death or great bodily harm” but this little girl faces life in prison for shooting someone who repeatedly threatened to kill his entire family with that very gun?

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

It’s just a silencing tactic, it’s basically tone trolling. She’s attempting to shut down discussion on the issue and using her kid as a pawn to do it. If she can get any mention of Trump’s latest faux pas to seem too improper to repeat, she can limit the spread, that’s all it is.

I grabbed this gif when Bernie-or-Busters were still a thing, but it’s very all-purpose:

If you don’t want your daughter to hear the word “pussy” maybe don’t let her watch the segment where you’re defending Donald Trump bragging about grabbing women by the pussy. That’s like going on Twitter on a Sunday night and complaining about Game of Thrones spoilers.

The “are you there?” and the “I’m sorry” note parts hurt to read. My heart aches for the child and the parents.

I couldn’t do it. Take that back, wouldn’t do it. Little Nobody co-slept with us until 3 years ago (she’s 10)—it just worked for us as a family. Then she just up and decided she wants to sleep alone, and off to her bed she went. We tried EVERYTHING—doctors, psychologists, sleep-studies, etc. Nothing worked. If…

Who even is he? I keep catching the end of the Today Show over the past week and seeing him. I have no idea who he is, but he’s annoyingly thirsty for attention.

Youtube for the differently-technological:

I get the jokes about the logistics of this but if you’ve never had a stranger try to grope your underwear area, feel lucky. It’s happened to a lot of us.

We can guess, though ...

I don’t see how “locker room banter,” or being a private conversation makes it okay to sexually assault women. Bragging about getting away with the harassment of women is not okay in any setting. Dude is a predator but of course his fans will say he’s the victim here somehow.

I mean, he did apologize if anyone (you feminazis) were offended, so everything’s cool right?

Not even THE BEST furniture!

Don’t expect too much. The people who weren’t already disgusted by his behavior won’t be swayed by this either.

I can’t really imagine that in even the most mutual, long term, consensual relationship being “grabbed by the pussy” is a positive thing.

This is a great response, I hope a LOT of people see it. The embedded video will not play for me for some reason, but you helpfully put the key content in the text.
