Two to three months, huh? I guess I’ll make it my personal mission to keep saying her name, talking about her case, signing every petition that comes my way for her, and writing to the knuckleheads in charge of this “investigation” demanding justice for the next 2-3 months. I hope others will do the same.

Thank you for keeping her name at the front of our minds.

They don’t realize because they usually get away with it.

“Nothing like trying to get your lies straight.”

I think you also have to hold individuals and organizations to different standards.

“According to Baker, Cameron’s office has told her the investigation is “nowhere near complete”—that they predict another two to three months before reaching its conclusion”

I haven’t seen the video either, but maybe it’s because there was no gun involved, with no separation between the two individuals. This is one man’s knee directly against another man’s neck. There’s other factors too, I’m sure, that all add up to make a whole: it was daytime, there’s video proof, it wasn’t just a…

Record unemployment gives a lot of people a LOT more time

I think it's because of the look on the killer's face. I've never seen a man so bored by taking a life. He ended a human life with less emotion than a man trying to find a hole in his sock. It was plain he wasn't in fear for his life, or even upset. He was bored. Murder bored him. That look will haunt my life more…

That’s the one thing I can’t wrap my mind around: How did George Floyd’s murder become the catalyst? For black people, the answer’s simple? We’ve just had enough.

I felt funny seeing white people use the black power fist BLM logo as a profile pic. The black squares were weird too. 

if I swallow even a smidgen of cheese, it comes right back up.

It’s ridiculous. Standing around just tutting in disapproval is a good as enforcing tyranny. 

Yes! We all know every move in Susan Collins’ carefully choreographed fan dance—Japanese No theatre has more spontaneity—and yet the American press acts as if they’ve never seen it before and can’t even begin to guess how it will end.

are you talking about the pork rinds or the pimento cheese?

“I am struggling with it. I have struggled with it for a long time,”

As the permanently greyed-out white guy maybe I’ll throw in some perspective from “the other side”. Yes- I will freely admit that I will never be able to fully comprehend what its like to be a person of color in today’s racist America. There are some whom seem to want to “get it” but really don’t. So that’s one thing.

I think the the answer to these questions is really simple: There is no “wrong” answer; under the cistcumstances, your caprice and “the correct thing to do” are effetively the same thing. Lookit, this is really black people’s struggle, and as such, black people are allowed to accept, reject, call out, or excuse more…

My college roommate was a Pork Queen (god bless Ohio), not something she bragged about. I spent some time on her farm and learned about cutting tails and teeth AND castrating.

I’m a vegetarian these days but I had given up partaking of the swine years before that. Mainly because my step dad was a pig farmer and let me tell you, the only thing worse than being a pig castration specialist, is being the assistant to the pig castration expert.
