Is anyone actually living in ferguson anymore? Or is it all just protestors?

Check out the list price on some of the homes for sale in ferguson right now if you wanna get a feel for the white flight.

Get a 6 bedroom for like $150k or some dumb poo poo right?

Seriously is that a good investment opportunity that could pay off in ten years?

Logic is screaming at me that there's no other reason to delay a verdict that's already in 4 hours into the evening unless you're trying to mitigate a potential riot.

I did this in DND. I admitted I was wrong. They didn't really care and they responded to it the same as if I had continued to disagree.

Black people will get harassed by cops no doubt and that sucks but even most black people (at least the few I've spoke to) will tell you that its pretty obvious when you're in a situation that might get you hosed up. And usually you're the person that put you there.

But idk I'm white and this is just what black people tell me.

The flaw in your reasoning is that internet SJW buzzwords come directly from college social science and philosophy courses.

And then get latched on to like a fad and destroyed in much the same fashion.

All of those buzzwords lost credibility when used by the common crowd that uses them.

E: if I take a semester of algebra and then trig but that doesn't mean I'm an absolute math genius. I can probably use words like algorithm and theorem correctly, but that doesn't give me any real credibility to use those words.

Apply that to SJW buzzwords and social science classes.

The thing about police v the military is when a total fuckup in the military does something horrible military people are by and large "yeah that guy is awful, gently caress him." But 100% this babyman will have every cop talking about what a selfless hero he is who acted with no other choice.

As I recall the conversation, it was basically "A lot of people smarter than you are, like me, decided it's legal. I'd explain further, but you wouldn't understand :smugdog:"

I mentioned I was writing a paper on the Due Process implications of the policy for my counter-terrorism class at the war college and got *deathstare* followed by "Well the US hasn't acknowledged responsibility for anything (this was before it was admitted that we schwacked Al-Anwaki, but after the NYT said we did) so I hope your paper doesn't have any CLASSIFIED INFORMATION in it."

What I wanted to say was "are you trying to threaten me with leaking classified information if I write a paper calling your policy bullshit...for a course I'm taking through the loving war college?" (heh...I guess I got to take war college classes too, not just LT worthlesspants)

What I actually said was "Uh...no. Open source reporting with citations, only."

Take home point, the man is an insufferable dickmitten.

That's pretty much a no-go. The military can cite national security when covering up their gently caress-ups, cops can't.

I'm just curious but can anyone tell me what exactly has happened in the last six years (besides OBAMAAAAAAA) that has people so worried about their guns being taken?

It looks to me like they are just making laws that were already there more strict, and maybe it'll take you a few days to pass a background check but really, what specifically has happened?

A lot of people I know are freaking out about the possibility of their guns being taken. And there are a few politicians out there who think guns should be taken, but really, what has actually happened?
