Real hurthling! posted:yeah cops never kill naked black men on the ground No, see he was meaning for the guy to hide from the cops that way. And as for the body armor dude, it's a federal crime to have body armor if you've been convicted of a crime. Also, many states have additional laws against body armor too (I don't know about TX though).

Ginette Reno posted:How hard would it be to gun down people from a high place with cover? Especially since there'd be confusion and the Cops I'm guessing wouldn't shoot back due to not knowing where the shots were coming from, etc Not too hard. Also, cops carry pistols. Not exactly good for shooting at anything further away than across the street.

OMG JC a Bomb! posted:What the gently caress was all those sparks? Did he shoot that cop with a blunderbus or something? Nah, bullets are usually just copper covered lead. They smash apart into a bajillion sparky pieces the second they hit anything hard (like pavement). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfDoQwIAaXg

The X-man cometh posted:I don't think he could get 11 shots off that quick before everyone scattered, unless he was using a low accuracy burst AR-15. A lot of people, even cops, will just freeze up for at least a few seconds. Especially when you don't have any idea what's happening or where the shots are coming from.

Tai posted:Looking at that household net worth chart, do blacks etc suffer from the white man keeping them down or is it a case of them having a chip on their shoulder and moan about being poor and doing nothing about it? I don't know what the deal is. My great great granddad got off the boat from Ireland with nothing. Like, literally nothing. Got treated like poo poo by everyone and just made illegal whiskey in the mountains. Two generations later my grandfather worked construction and traveled the U.S. doing it. My dad and I both joined the Army to pay for college. My dad went and became a teacher and I'm about to retire from the army and go back to college. I'm not really sure where my "leg up" for being white that people claim we had/have is. Or perhaps I'm not even white?  The Kingfish posted:its hard to get ahead when starting at a negative or zero. black schools suck and there are typically no good jobs in the area. Yeah. Nobody has ever had to deal with that before.

I mean if you want the oppressed inner city poor to escape the confines of poverty by manufacturing and distributing illegal substances that's probably not going to be a very popular opinion. You mean killers. Murder, by definition, would have to have been illegal.  Radical 90s Wizard posted:lol an unironic bootstraps post, fuckin hell. Do you even know your family history?

Dubplate Fire posted:Where the gently caress can you live on minimum wage? Lot's of places. Min wage is about 1100 bucks a month if you only work 40 hours. Your biggest cost is going to be a livable apartment in a nice town with good schools (if you've got kids). But at min wage you'll be able to snag financial assistance and won't be paying income taxes. Plus there are orgs that will actually pay your rent/utilities for you in many cases. A car is necessary too, but that can be had for a few hundred bucks if you aren't picky. I sold my 1987 honda civic with 250,000 miles for 300 dollars and it still runs great. Just no A/C and the paint job is messed up. And then there's the whole thing about having a plan for your life. Like, where do you want to be in 5/10 years and plan backwards from that. But most people can't think past the end of their noses.

hemophilia posted:i live in a low income town in the cheapest part of the state without literally living in the west texas wasteland where there are literally no jobs unless you want to rustle cattle like an old timey villain and risk being hung in the town square by the county marshal. The ghettos of dallas are actually more expensive, but no 40 hour minimum wage does not meet my cost of living, and yeah there's no republican gay rear end stereotype to fall on here, rent a center is poison, i don't have tv, i have the cheapest internet that's available, i have a loving landline and pay as you go burner phones i've collected over the years to compensate for the times when i frequently still can't afford to pay internet/phone that month. Hope this helps you loving delusional retards. Bless your heart.

Pawn shops are great if you want to buy jewelry or a playstation 4. I got a nice diamond ring for 500 bucks that was 1200 at the legit jewelry store up the street. Also, PS4 games are all 10 bucks.

The ring was one of those with the diamonds actually in the band vs stuck on the top. My wife is a dr and poky rings are a nono. radiatinglines posted:I've been in several pawn shops and they have all been garbage.

Then the GOP and Reagan turn around and go 'YES gun control but only for black people.' I don't think anyone had coined that phrase in the 60's. And the Democrats were the party of slavery and jim crowe until recently. Also the NRA did support black people being able to defend themselves with guns against kkk (democrats at the time) violence. spacetoaster fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Jul 13, 2016 |

Moridin920 posted:I could afford it, I'm just amazed that the costs are so high. I will agree with you completely here. I have a family of 5 and we pay around 800 dollars a year for minimum coverage. So far the only thing any of us have done at the dentist for the last 10 years is get cleanings every year. That's 70 dollars per cleaning 350 bucks a year. I've been talking to my wife and we're probably going to drop dental because we actually have the funds to cover braces for my one child who's going to need them in 7 years or so.
