The campus put up lights and emergency stations around campus to make sure students are safe. 

I loved some of Three Billboards because I related to the mother’s rage at getting no justice when someone harmed her child. Close to home for me.

Don’t forget the villain *had* to be a sadistic, rapey misogynist, yoo.

It would be really awesome if we stopped using a misogynist slur as just another adjective.

Same - I liked Joy and have zero interest in yet another “Rape and mutilation of women as entertainment” plotline.

There absolutely was evidence of physical injury in this case, but it was blamed on the victim’s overall sluttiness.

There is no effective rehabilitation for child rapists.

I think you are projecting many things onto an internet stranger. Nowhere did I say I am offering “compliments” to my home state. Do I owe “compliments” to a state? I do not understand your logic, nor why you seem to be taking my hard-line, realistic assessment personally.

He’s a Republican asshole and a misogynist.

Where it all goes. Back to the 1%.

In2016, more than half of adult West Virginians were not working. It’s a dismal state with nothing to offer anyone.

Nope. This is good. We can’t just say, “Well that company is known for their racism and sexual harassment! Whaddaya gonna do? and just keep letting them get away with it.

They’ll be acquitted.

Regarding #9: My white sons attend a majority-minority high school. Guess who runs the PTA, concessions stand, athletic boosters, performing arts parent groups, etc.? Yep. White parents. And the “Leadership” class (given for credit)? White kids known as the “White Crew.” Why would any Latina, black, or Asian…
