ChairMaster posted:Ahahaha, I love this. I'm the true monster here, for making fun of all the simpletons who didn't see this coming. I'm the one responsible for white supremacy, because I was smart enough to stop giving a poo poo about other people a long time ago. Not the ignorant rural dipshits who made it happen, not the farcical racist pile of garbage we call a justice system, it's the nihilist on the internet laughing at the people who can't accept that the world is not a just place. Can you please shut up. Since you are being such an ignoramous I'll directly refuse some of the diarrhea that seems to be spilling from your mouth. Things I (me, personally, myself, not you) have done in an effort to improve cultural relations in Canada: * Invited indigenous speakers to talk to my professional organization (of which I am president) to aid with cultural awareness/sensitivity and the idea of reconciliation. * Attended various conferences and public events promoting indiginization and community-building between urban-dwelling FN peoples to enhance my own knowledge and pass on to colleagues, friends and family. I've listened first-hand to FN leaders and educators to understand the issues they are facing and how we can address them * Integrated reconciliation and indiginization into the strategic plans of a major urban public library system * Developed a reading list/bibliography of indigenously-authored and/or illustrated childrens books and stories to aid B.Ed students in selecting reading materials for their courses I'm not saying these are fixes or I am some sort of saint for doing this poo poo, but please don't tell me I'm "doing nothing" you colossal gently caress. Further context: I live in Saskatchewan. I see this poo poo DAILY and it's HARD loving WORK. Who the gently caress even are you to call out internet strangers on what they choose to do to try to make the world a better place? Edit: please "hang fire" yourself.

I’m not surprised with the acquittal with all of the prosecutions witnesses that were there lying in court or changing their stories but still sad to see. I feel if the witnesses were better prepared or more honest it could have been a mansalughter charge.

Why are the mostly rich white people itt so mad about the implication that their thoughts and prayers don't make the world any better? Why does that get so much disdain when it happens in America, but the same thing in different words here gets a pass?

Was there some question about whether or not Stanley's restricted firearm discharged into Boushie, killing him, after he pulled the trigger? Because that's where the manslaughter would have come in. Are you suggesting that the jury didn't believe Stanley was holding the weapon when it discharged? Are we going with "Dang kids just couldn't get their stories straight, I guess we'll just chalk this one up to death by misadventure"? infernal machines fucked around with this message at 04:11 on Feb 10, 2018 |

Ahaha, money makes everything better. They pacify their own guilt and inner turmoil by spending money, sending it off to buy happiness and save the world one pittance at a time. The beautiful maintenance of the status quo through charity. Money makes it all okay. Everything is as it will always be. ChairMaster fucked around with this message at 04:24 on Feb 10, 2018 |

THC posted:I was not aware that Jesse Singal was connected to Zucker as well, but isn't it a bit much to say Contra "shacked up" with Singal when they were (afaik) merely friends? I don't mean to say you are wrong, I'm just not entirely familiar with this so I'm genuinely asking, and feel free to correct me (or just tell me to gently caress off if you don't feel like explaining) Yeah, I just meant shacked up in the friends sense. My bad. Couldn't even remember Singal's name until I stepped into the great brain unfucker, known as the shower. Between that and all her "oh they're not so bad" poo poo with the alt-right and similar fucks, I have no tolerance for her, personally and politically. (And I've had personal run-ins with Singal enough to be convinced that he isn't actually interested in anything but handwringing about THE CHILDREN for attention/hurting trans people.) To answer your other question, she was pretty much right about Peterson in those quoted tweets.

Observe how the rich white people are unable to engage with the idea that charity exists as little more than a tool to assuage their own guilt and complicity in an unjust system, and thus absolve themselves of relevant action. In this way they can avoid the cognitive dissonance they must feel so often, caused by the idea that they are good people and thus care about others, but exist in a state of such luxury bought and paid for by the exploitation of so so many less fortunate people than themselves. By putting aside a small pittance for when a news headline reminds them of the world they exist so far above, they are able to easily buy their way out of those feelings. Money makes everything better.

Aren't newspapers supposed to do things like disclose when articles have been edited?

infernal machines posted:Lordy, that's something. I sure hope someone explains the logic behind that verdict. You see, justice is blind. She doesn't see centuries of historical injustice. She doesn't see our collective lowered expectations, our preconceived convictions or which outcome we think would be best to help towards reconciliation. She saw a reasonable chance that, if 5 drunk robbers showed up on her property with bad intentions, maybe she'd grab her gun. Maybe if it seemed like they tried to run down her son, she'd fire some warning shots. Unfortunately, none of the other witnesses gave a more convincing alternative. The jury wasn't able to say beyond a reasonable doubt that Stanley murdered Boushie and they had his word plus a bulged cartridge on one side and not much on the other. There's a feeling of injustice but it wasn't the jury's verdict, it's the conditions that lead up to the statistically inevitable tragedy. His friend was driving after drinking 30 shots. He drove him into a firearm owning racist farmer's front yard and tried to steal an atv but it's more likely he would've driven him into another vehicle or stationary object with the same end result. The injustice is that the same conditions lead to this same situation playing out all over the country every day with less captivating, equally tragic results. That's all I got, Idunno, I'm just spitballing what Wente is going to write tomorrow.

Here’s a thread from my old evidence prof explaining how the jury could reach the verdict: https://twitter.com/michaelplaxton/status/962169682550640642 I don’t practice crim (mostly family), but I agree that it seems the Crown put a bit too much emphasis on the “hang fire is bunk” argument, without doing the work of calling sufficient statistical evidence to prove why. In their closing arguments, they also seemed to treat the manslaughter charge as an afterthought, when based on the evidence, they should have been highlighting the recklessness angle. Granted, I wasn’t there, but I was following 5-6 people who were live-tweeting it and that’s the impression I got. It’s a travesty, and it’s absolutely going to cause a shitstorm for race relations in this province.
