Each incident is considered discrete in and of itself, not part of something larger, not encouraging the perpetrator to go further, to grow fat and sleek on suffering and smugness.

For the exact reason the CDC isn’t allowed to study gun violence as an epidemic—that is, a chain of events causing further events. Or why active alcoholics get so good at writing off the damage they cause.

Nobody wants to see it! Satan isn’t glorious or glamorous. He’s an old man who decided decades ago to win no matter what.

Hey, kids are kids but money is money.

Scott Paterno’s first response to this headline this morning was to jump on Twitter (of all places) and publicly brand a survivor of child abuse as “not credible.” I don’t know how one suppresses, twists, ignores one’s own logic and common sense (not to mention dignity) in order to do that, but he did.

I love the idea that “overwhelming ambition leads to indifference to human suffering” is somehow compatible with being a good person. Like, that’s literally why the devil is the devil. Joe Paterno acted in a way Satan would relate to. Who is, to be sure, legendary, but...

Yeah, sure, their primary mission is “research, education, and service.” Which one of those was Paterno responsible for again? Fuckers.

JFC the man was told by someone and he literally said

The willingness of people to cover up child rape to protect a corrupt organization will never cease to astound me. I will never understand how people can justify this in their minds.

It says a lot that simply asserting that Black Lives Matter is so terrible to a certain segment of the population. Nothing more but those three words, and I have heard it described by white people as racist, anti-police, despicable, disgusting, divisive, etc. If you think saying Black Lives Matter is anti-police,…

Well she DID provoke him by wanting to introduce bodycams onto the police force. Next thing she’ll be forcing them to account for shootings or something.

Those four assholes are probably the same people that say “All Lives Matter”.

Hey, those cops are putting their lives on the line to protect their communities! They shouldn’t have to put up with reasonable demands to respect black people!

Remember, this is the same police union that accused the mayor of Minneapolis of throwing gang symbols.

Don’t forget, women are the emotional ones!

Right? They supported and praised the Dallas PD. I don’t know what these dipshit Minneapolis PD officers wanted. For the players to blame the black men killed by police? What a bunch of whiny, petulant assholes.

For fucks sake. I am trying very hard to relate to law enforcement perspective, but I am quite tired of being told to think about how their families feel not knowing if their loved ones will come back after work, and the stress that creates. It amazes me that they demand this while failing to understand how black…

The shirt even had the Dallas PD emblem in support of them and the players talked about how good the Dallas PD was, and those four assholes were still so emotionally traumatized they walked off and made snarky comments later?

“I can’t imagine what this place would be—I can’t imagine what the country would be—with Donald Trump as our president,”
