Brute Squad: Dec 20, 2006; Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human race

Some others I'll throw into the ring, YMMV:

https://twitter.com/EmilyGorcenski - Data scientist/leftist that tracks and exposes nazis and other far right people.
https://twitter.com/realGulDukat - self explanatory. Gul Dukat is the 45th President of the Cardassian Union
https://twitter.com/scarytoilet - Toilets with Threatening Auras. OSHA/DIYWTF as gently caress.
https://twitter.com/ProBirdRights - a bird tweeting pro-birds rights arguments, poorly

Re: rock throwing. Proportional response is better than escalation. Turning the other cheek is even better. Vas's framing is good for people that don't get the "holy poo poo, what the gently caress is wrong with you" reasoning.

Worry about thrown rocks about when they stop 300m from the border and bring up the trebuchets.

I may have committed some 'light' crimes against humanity.

This is all from that lovely law they overrode Obama's veto on, isn't it?

Facial recognition links weak chins with white supremacy. Garth Ennis vindicated.

In slightly more uplifting news.

https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2018/11/18/dallas-county-da-electcreuzot-says-amber-guyger-charged-murder-botham-jean-shooting

quote:

Dallas County�s incoming district attorney said Sunday that former Dallas police Officer Amber Guyger should be charged with murder, not manslaughter, in the shooting of Botham Jean at his Cedars apartment.

John Creuzot told WFAA-TV (Channel 8) that murder would be the �most appropriate charge� based on his knowledge from news coverage of the Sept. 6 shooting. He said the district attorney is not bound to follow the charge police bring on a case and can downgrade or upgrade charges.

Creuzot, a former judge and prosecutor who beat District Attorney Faith Johnson in the Nov. 6 election, said in September that the manslaughter charge was a "deviation from the norm." Dallas County authorities have charged suspects in similar cases with murder, he said.

Creuzot, who will take office in January, said on WFAA's "Inside Texas Politics" program Sunday morning that the case is likely to go before a grand jury before the end of the year. Prosecutors will present a charge to jurors who can vote on whether to indict Guyger, which would allow the case to go to trial.

Guyger, 30, was charged with manslaughter three days after she fatally shot Jean. She said she mistook Jean's apartment for her own one floor below and shot him thinking he was an intruder. Guyger was later fired from the Dallas Police Department.

The Texas Rangers and district attorney's office were conducting separate investigations into the shooting.

Jean�s family has said Guyger should be charged with murder, and about 170,000 people agreed in a petition submitted to Johnson on Sept. 28.

they're gonna do that thing where they pick the wrong murder charge and refuse any more charges in order to let the cop get off

I dunno, this is the DA that beat the one who published the "we found weed in his apartment" bullshit. I'm cautiously optimistic.
