I've executed this flavor of justice myself, and it feels great:


The best part was the guy got back to his car just before I did later that day. I saw him getting ready to wind up and kick my car. He must have assumed I was a girl from the car, because when he saw my 6'4" self approaching he ran to the passenger side of his car and jumped in and just waited for me to leave.

Are you this guy?

I recently went to the Family Leadership Summit in Ames, IA. It is a huge gathering for Christian conservations to come and talk hate, fear, and how best to oppress people. I also got some literature. Here are three pamphlets that stood out. Each image links to an album that you can read what is inside them. Trigger warning on all of it.




The first one is awful, hateful, and bigoted. The other two actually don't seem all that bad, they're just trying to spread information. They're mostly just stating facts, and they even include cites. I mean, there's also reference to religion, and homosexuality gets a bad rap in the last one, but only on the first page. It seems like awareness is the biggest issue. Were these seriously the worst pamphlets there?

Same. Yes, American health care is a somewhat large portion of why he wasn't able to be treated, but in the first season his rich friend from college literally offered to give him a job with amazing insurance to help treat his cancer and he turned it down. It's much more a show about unhealthy masculinity and how pride and images of what a man should be dictates this man's life. He chooses to give up his humanity and murder people, it was a choice after he had the option to work an amazing job and get full treatment for his cancer.

A dangerous thug is heroically subdued after blocking traffic in an unlawful manner by our glorious police force. :911:

Translated from right-wing talking head:

A 14-year old black teenager has the poo poo beaten out of him by a cop for jaywalking, and then gets dog piled by SIX more cops who are all required to subdue one loving kid.

What the gently caress is wrong with the comments with this video?

This officer actually got fired, not only because she lied about a 69 year old black man swinging a golf club at her, but because she said she would do nothing differently if she had the choice to do it again, as well as other things.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mSka-9CtoM

This is a statement from the police chief:

quote:

I was disappointed by your failure during your Loudermillhearing to take any responsibility, or show any understanding that your conduct at issue here was inappropriate. In particular, when I asked you what if anything you would do differently in retrospect, you stated that you would do nothing differently. Your inability to understand that the confrontational manner in which you handled a non-threatening situation undermines public confidence in the fairness of this Department and leaves me convinced that a similar interaction with a member of the public will occur again should I permit you to continue working as a police officer. This is reinforced by the fact that you have twice been previously disciplined and counseled for unprofessional conduct, and seem to have learned little from those corrective actions.

I was also troubled by your comments in the Loudermill about the race of a judge and deputy chief involved in expunging the civilian's criminal record related to your arrest of him; you expressed a strong belief that these actions were taken because the judge and deputy chief are black, and that race drove the decision-making of a high ranking Department official and a long-serving Municipal Court Judge, not the legitimate factual and legal analysis by thoughtful and dedicated public servants. Such statements further indicate that your biased views prevent you from being able to honestly reflect on your own job performance and successfully receive constructive criticism of your policing techniques because you view the critiques as racially motivated.

While the violation of Section 5.140(2) is serious enough that, on its own, the allegation would warrant the recommended discipline, I gave serious consideration to a lengthy suspension and disciplinary transfer to a unit that does not interact with the public, as well as removal from the sergeant's promotional registry. However, your inability to understand, even in hindsight, that your behavior was unnecessarily aggressive, an abuse of discretion, and negatively impacted the community's confidence in this police service, offers me no pathway to confidence that your behavior will improve or change. Without this ability to learn from your mistakes, understand how you can improve and do better, and recognize your own errors, you are unable to effectively function as an officer.

ln analyzing your culpability for a potential violation of Department Policy 6.220(l),I have also given careful consideration to the Constitutional principles underlying that policy. I believe that reasonable minds could find, in the totality of the circumstances, that the stop was lawful. I therefore conclude that this charge is "inconclusive" rather than "sustained." In doing so, however, I rely on the fact that determination of lawful authority to stop is an objective standard, not a subjective standard. The fact that I conclude that we should not sustain a violation of the stops and detention policy does not mean that I support your use of your authority in this circumstance. This incident likely could have been resolved without a seizure of any level.

For the reasons summarized above, and while giving careful consideration to your full employment history as well as the facts of this case, your employment is terminated.

Fox & Friends Digs Into Ahmed Mohamed’s Alleged ‘History of Trouble’

On Wednesday morning’s edition of Fox & Friends, Fox News reporter Anna Kooiman told the co-hosts about a recent report in the Dallas Morning Sun detailing Ahmed Mohamed‘s supposedly troubled past.

“Ahmed’s seventh grade history teacher Ralph Kubiak tells the Dallas Morning Sun this isn’t the first time he’s been in trouble,” said Kooiman. “Kubiak claims Mohammed was suspended for several weeks during the sixth grade.”

So why was Ahmed allegedly suspended? According to the story, “a family friend says it came from blowing soap bubbles in the bathroom.”

Neither Kooiman nor Kubiak deny the “soap bubbles” claim, though the latter claimed “Mohammed spent time in a reassignment center the following year to complete a punishment” for “[bringing] inventions into school, like a homemade remote he used to prank a teenager by shutting off a projector in class.”

Kubiak called Mohamed “a weird little kid” and described him as “one of those kids that could either be CEO of a company or head of a gang.”

Co-host Steve Doocy concluded the segment by noting that “some Texans feel that it might have been a publicity stunt,” though they’re not the only ones. Noted scientist and atheist Richard Dawkins said “it looks like a hoax,” and Real Time host Bill Maher has repeatedly called the events surround Mohamed’s arrest into question.

Yeah, I'm crying myself. I cry easily, but holy poo poo. The report says she had a knife. It's possible if she was attempting suicide. That being said, the cops are so scared of the mentally ill that they have been documented killing tons of unarmed and non-dangerous ones in the past. The only word we can take on this is the cop who shot her.

Drop knives exist around scared cops. I really really don't want to blame cops for everything. So I'll wait until everything comes out. No matter what, he'll never be convicted.

I was making dinner and had the debate on. I got to see this in real time. The funny part is that I thought he was doing pretty good, the crowd was loving him. I guess he was trying to play to the crowd too much? That's such a dumb thing to say, I'm one of those people that thinks white privilege extends beyond class, but holy cow, I grew up around a bunch of poor whites.
