He ran for MO State Senate this year. He was supported in that run by Governor Jay Nixon, the same guy that refused to remove McCulloch from the Ferguson case. There's some dirty shit going on, and they really don't want people to know about it.

This is a reasoned , cogent, well-thought point.

"You apparently conflate people criticizing thugs, punks, idiots and whatever else we can call them burning down their community and destroying the lives of other innocent people, and hide behind the word "protest", as all being racist."

People are only criminals after they get their day in court and it's decided by a jury of their peers. Unfortunately, we'll never have that decision one way or another. So for the rest of history, he isn't "this criminal", he's just "a suspect who was killed by police".

I think there's another word he'd like to use even more.

You might want to explain that to the people criticizing the rioters because they believe it's only black people that are rioting and of course they conflate black people with thuggery.

"it is not the violent thugs burning down buildings that buy their advertiser's products"

So, let me get this straight: Missori cops want to punish black men for putting their hands up and saying "Don't shoot." Hrm.

Maybe if the cops stuck with exercising their first amendment rights, and not moving to the other amendments, we wouldn't have a problem.

you know what I find offensive? 18 year olds getting shot and prosecutors intentionally throwing the case

I'm actually pleased they don't show up - it hints that they are confident enough that this movie can stand on its own without having to focus entirely on the nostalgia. And it hints that they old cast have supporting roles and won't overshadow the important players.

He forgot how to physics.

I think we have evidence of that already. It was done from about 800BC through 400AD and gave us what we call the Bible.

Because the theory of evolution is one of the most important theories to come from the scientific method and should be taught in schools so that kids understand how to formulate and test observations and ideas. Intelligent Design has attempted to claim the deductive powers of science, while being based on faith; faith…

Any obituary that begins with a Monty Python reference is destined for greatness.

"Why pretend he was blind?"

When I was a kid, like age 10-15, I used to tell people I had no sense of smell. That was kinda based on a lot of allergies that left me permanently stopped up for a while (and what I later found out was a deviated septum), but it eventually turned into my random weird thing people knew…
