So...* there’s a situation where a guy legally purchases a weapon, kills 26 people, walks outside, is engaged not by trained police but by basically a vigilante (however well intended) with his own high powered weapon**, then sees a car chase between two civillian vehicles (where the ‘good guy’ driver didn’t actually…

Meh. The “good guy with a gun” didn’t show up until 26 people were already dead or dying. It wasn’t exactly a deterrent. And legally speaking, a private citizen pursuing and firing on a fleeing suspect isn’t “standing your ground”... it’s borderline vigilantism. I doubt the neighbor will face any criminal charges even…

Boy those 26 people who are dead because the shooter was able to lay his hands on this kind of firepower are certainly going to be relieved to hear this.

After the fact. It was after the fact, and that did none of the dead any good.

The best part about it is those are the actual names of my actual white friends whonagreed to sign an actual letter.

Possibly, but have you considered that misogynoir may have something to do with his being found not guilty? The world seems really great at turning a willful blind eye to the pain and suffering of black women. See: R.Kelly, Boko Haram, the 64K or so missing black women in the US.

it’s just the weird mindset of wanting the person that hurt you to be the person that’s hugging you and telling you that it was an accident,” she says. “I wanted to feel like I was in control of the situation and not him.”

men can be feminists, but don’t trust a single fucking one who makes a living off feminism.

Yup, this is a prime case of people not minding their own business. If the boss isn’t upset, the worker shouldn’t worry her head about it. I’m not a fan of looking at my morbidly obese co-worker wearing a plunging crop top that shows off her ugly Justin Bieber tattoo. But that is neither my circus nor my monkees. If…

i don’t understand why the barefeet bother this person so much. they are not your feet, she isn’t putting her feet on you - just look away and think to yourself “what a gross asshole” and let it go.

This letter certifies that the holder, Michael Harriot, can’t be racist. We have verified that he, indeed, has at least one white friend, which exempts him from all claims of reverse racism, regular racism, anti-whiteness or hatred of Caucasians.

I definitely ain’t talking about Morgan.

And it makes sense for African-American folks to portray African lions in a movie about Africa imo.

Before one of y’all thin-skinned, pasty faces asks why I made this about race: BECAUSE REPRESENTATION MATTERS, BITCH.

I want to change “#NotAllMen to “#MostMenDo”.

she does not say WOC *HAVE* to come to the front. She’s saying they CAN. Do you really not see that in many spaces, WOC are not welcome to move to the front? Next time you go to a concert, take a closer look around you.

this is something that comes from the Riot Grrl movement of asking women to move to the front so they can be safer. Obviously it’s optional, but I think it’s cool she’s doing it.

On the other hand, why should I give two shits what right wing publications think about anything whatsoever?

Can we all admit that after all the crap we like to talk about the beatings that our parents gave us, that we did NOT like it and perhaps we shouldn’t treat our kids the same way? I don’t hit my kids, they’re honor students , they tell me everything , they don’t sneak around and lie, they TRUST me to be fair with…
