I liked Cottonmouth a lot and thought he was a compelling villain. Diamondback just being so drat crazy was a step down, imo.

It's like they just put him in a green jumpsuit and decided "Yeah that's good enough." In other news, an acquaintance of mine was recently driving through Texas on work and a cop pulled him over for... reasons. He ended up getting shot in the back while laying face down on the street. He's still alive but in the hospital and he'll probably never be able to work in his current field again(The bullet shattered his shoulder blade and ripped his shoulder muscles and pec apart). I suspect it'll be a while before any legal proceedings really kick off but hopefully he'll get a decent settlement out of it and the cop will lose his badge. I mean I wont hold my breath for that, but a guy can dream, right?

Goddamn, best of luck to your friend. It's hosed up, but by now there has to a process for raising a fuss about a black guy getting shot by a cop, right? A step-by-step guide or a list of people to contact or something?

I'm so glad Idris got the part of Roland because Idris is pretty much exactly who I imagined Roland being. I don't think there's been a more perfectly cast role in history.

Anyway, back to the actual subject of the thread: did anyone think Roof would not be convicted? Like you'd need to be doing some stretching for a hard rear end reach of him being not guilty. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, hope is a lie and I know that bowl cut motherfucker is going to get away with a slap on the wrist for something.

Absolutely. After Trump's election, and the Bundys walking because of jury nullifcation, I thought Dylan Roof was going to go free on some kind of bullshit. I'm glad the jury had the sense to convict him, and I hope the sentencing is just. Jonas Albrecht fucked around with this message at 09:40 on Dec 16, 2016 |

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:I have one specific $20 memory... I was late to work and had to take a cab, and then my card was declined. The taxi driver wanted to call the cops immediately, but I begged him to let me go find some cash and left my phone as collateral. I borrowed 20 from an older white man I worked with, and he was very kind in giving it to me, but I was so ashamed at having to do it that I just... never went back to that job. That's the kind of decision, both irrational and not, that living on the tightrope has you making. I had to borrow $5 off my supervisor today to buy lunch and he let me off paying, which was nice. Since I gave my last $5 as gas money to my extremely nice black female coworker who has been giving me rides home so I don't have to walk the 2.5 miles home at midnight in below freezing weather. She's a nice person, I'm glad we have developed a friendship in class solidarity. She even offered to make some calls to see if she could get me a better price for weed than I'm currently getting off my african american acquintance who provides it to me, after I offered her some free buds if she drives me to meet with him after our overtime on saturday. I have to say not being a racist and recognising your mutual interests and experiences through class politics is loving awesome, she's a great friend.
