Cheers, Stassa. This is just the antidote to the Gawker article on the awful Reaganites back then. Everyone who loved us while we were dying and half the country was laughing about it is an angel.

How about using James Homes for comparison. He killed 12 people in a movie theater and was apprehended in the parking lot carrying weapons while wearing a helmet, gas mask and full body armor and he ended up getting a fair trial.
Police will take their time to talk down a guy shooting up a Planned Parenthood clinic, or apprehend a guy who just gunned down a bunch of members of a black church
“Open Carry” and “Stand Your Ground” only apply to white males. At least that’s how those laws have been applied so far.
I know we are all probably still traumatized by the Lindsey Lohan biopic, but I would watch the ever-loving hell out of Dallas Buyers Club 2: White Diamonds.
AHHHHH. DAME LIZ BUYERS CLUB. THIS RULES.
My family has a lake house in Brooklyn MI that me and Cindymoo spend most of our summers at, and we see it a lot there. Especially when it’s race weekend and the NASCAR freaks are in town. It’s very disconcerting.
All the police officers need to show is a ‘feeling that they were threatened’ and they are deemed justified in their actions. If they feel threatened, they are justified with lethal force. But when will someone address the issue where they only feel this kind of threatened by black people? Your racial problems are…
Don’t waste your time trying to communicate rationally to a cop apologist. They can only say what their uniformed overlords want them to say when not sucking badges.
The question is, do cops shoot kids dead in 3 seconds of arriving on a scene in Toledo?
That’s relevant to Tamir Rice and John Crawford how, exactly? We have video evidence showing the opposite. Police running in and gunning them down the first chance they get, within seconds. Watch the videos yourself, you’ll see it with your own eyes. Police will take their time to talk down a guy shooting up a Planned…
Very good point. While open carry is the worst law ever, even if he had a real gun, there is nothing illegal about that. Except, black...
He said he yelled it three times. He is a liar.
Not to mention that Ohio is an open carry state. I know that because I unfortunately live here. Tamir’s murder, John Crawford’s murder for the same fucking thing, it’s so ridiculous and awful that it makes my stomach hurt.
In addition, there was not nearly enough time for an officer to yell “show me your hands” between the time the car door opened and when an officer opened fire.
Open carry state. Just sayin
In the video the cop car speeds up next to Tamir and the officer jumps out of the car and starts shooting immediately.
Man, when I see his picture and realize he was only born in 2002, it hits me how young he truly was. This was a complete travesty, and I feel so awful for the family. No amount of talking from the PD will ever sufficiently explain why this occurred, because it was senseless. The video proves it.
I don’t think we should overlook the little indignities just because there were bigger ones. As any abuse survivor can tell you, little indignities have a way of really adding up over time. And I don’t think we can just say “well, she should’ve known”. Yes, she was aware of the vow of poverty, and probably also at…
For my part, my entire family (other than my Grandma) is not religious, but my parents made sure I went to Church (methodist) every Sunday because they thought it was important I had a choice and could make up my own minf. I went until I was about 11 or 12 and realised I didn’t really believe in what they were telling…
