Can you not?  Thanks.

I will NOT.

Don’t forget never fitting in. I was never black enough for the black kids, white enough for the white kids, Asian enough for my grandmother’s family, Catholic enough for the Christians, or Jewish enough for the Jews. By being a little of everything I was a part of nothing. The end result was a different persona for…

My half-black son was born Sept 5th, here in Kansas City, while those protests raged across the state. Because the AA communities in StL and KC are so intertwined I actually am friends with one of Micheal Brown’s cousins, and not thru my husband.

So much fucking smoke. Eye on the ball. The question is fucking simple: when you were presented with the choice between Clinton or Trump what did you do? Did you whine like a little bitch and stay home crying with your Bernie bro friends on /r/sandersforpresident? Did you boldly make a statement and protest vote for…

Trump is just as bad as Hillary guys! The DNC cheated Bernie so let’s protest vote! Let’s stay home! They both suck equally!

The disturbing, unwritten part of this story, is that ICE agents seem to be doing their job with excessive gusto, intimidation, and cruelty, rather than any sense of caution. This compliance by the rank and file is how tyrants steamroll a society into submission.

Omg that woman was a freaking rock. Brava, and I’m so sorry on behalf of our beyond fucked country.

alternative theory based on Ivanka’s expression (grinning wider, raising her eyebrows) is that Trump was looking directly at the woman he WISHED was his wife but sadly he isn’t a Lannister.

Meh. Sounds like he only had one thing to do right, and he fucked it up.

What the fuck happened to this dude

He’d almost certainly have been refused bail if he’d kidnapped a stranger. Judges (and police, and prosecutors, and juries, and the general public) tend to see domestic violence as totally different, and much less severe, than “regular” violence, because it’s only directed at a woman the abuser is entitled to, and the…

Yeah a guy who keeps his wife hostage for twelve days hits her in the head with a handgun staples her head wound shut and brands her is the type who will let an ankle monitor stop him from getting what he wants.... Suuuuuuuure.

There are many steps where things went horribly wrong with the system here, but what’s the value of an electronic monitor that doesn’t alert anyone? (Zero, by the way. It’s value is zero.) Even if $100k bail were reasonable in this case, that is premised on, apparently, monitoring/house arrest. If that’s not a viable…

In a story where every detail is horrifying this one stands out

We can’t. We need to press for changes in the judicial system. We have to figure out how to better protect each other. (But yeah, I get where you’re coming from.)

Annnnd here is the contact information for the hon. Judge Gary J. Gilman, if you would care to voice your displeasure at his less than judicious ruling to allow a violent criminal who posed an active danger to another person free:

Fuck Judge Gary Gilman. This woman’s death is on your hands asshole. And as usual incompetent men won’t suffer consequences while this woman is now dead.

Wow, of all the circumstances to not offer bail, an armed domestic abuser who has already kidnapped and tortured his wife once is it. Absolutely ridiculous.

Danno could have been any working class person, including many of us. It just happened to be him. This time.
