I am so surprised how close the person making the video was and how out in the open they were. I was waiting for the moment the cop went after him and the dude had to run for his own life.

There was one paragraph in the Times article about Scott’s arrest history, including an assault charge from 1987 which, I’m sure, will justify use of deadly force 28 years later. (/s)

“There should be a reward for whoever filmed this.”

jesus fucking christ

I can’t bear to watch the video but I am so damn glad that someone made one. There should be a reward for whoever filmed this.

No. The National Front is a fascist, explicitly white-supremacist, far right political group. We certainly have our equivalent hate groups in the US, but for all their dumbfuckery, the Tea Party and parts of the GOP ain’t it. That’s why the Tea Party is so eager to pretend it’s not racist and to shush Tea Party…

I think London does that to people. I no longer live there and I miss London.

No, they really aren’t. They know fuck all about Americans either. I had to tell people that no, the USA is not more than 50% black. It’s 12%. Oh and, the next Brit that tells me that racism in the UK isn’t as bad as racism in the USA is going to get a knuckle sandwich. It’s untrue, for one thing. The other thing—…

That makes two of us. I’ve been here almost twenty years and am more horrified by the utter fuck-wittedness of so much of what happens in the US every year. Obama’s birth certificate was a particular low point, and you don’t want to get me going on the continued refusal to implement any sane gun control laws.

I’m an American who lives in the UK. I have lived here for 13 years. I don’t hate the USA, but it’s a hard place to defend. I also have to defend Americans from the idea that a fair amount of Brits think we are fucking stupid.

Those markings are just two-dimensional boxes.

I saw an ad for "Girls" on the side of a bus the other day where someone had taken a Sharpie and written "lied about rape" with an arrow pointed at Lena. If someone took the time and effort to do that on a bus (as opposed to a stationary object like a subway ad) I can't imagine what she, and others, get on something…

Based on the comments on this thread, cyber-bullying is totally not-that-big-of-a-deal-get-over-it-already if the person is someone you don't like.

Yeah she's only a woman and overweight...people like that get free candy and kittens on the internet.

Somehow all of the hundreds of times presidents took questions from only male reporters was never newsworthy...

I like how people in the comments are whining about male discrimination, when in Ireland, it's perfectly acceptable to keep dead women on life support to keep their unborn fetuses alive, and there's a fucking bill trying to get passed in the U.S. that would make it illegal for women to get abortions without male…

HellBeast in a bag

I'd vote for "parasitic sack" but, alas, no one's asked me...

I was recovering from a csection that went really awry. I had spent the first 5 months of my daughters life mostly bedridden. The complications dovetailed with a intense autoimmune flare up.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
