    basically why they said they were bored is because if they said "because he was a creepy azz cracka", they'd get some hate crime charges or at a minimum it would be worse and backlash. them saying "because we were bored" is a deflectionary excuse to hide their more sinister motives.

    "because we were bored" = less culpability. basically its to get life in prison vs death sentence.

    Well, this was a popular meme about 3-4 years ago. I believe its Kwame Kilpatrick, the ex-mayor of Detroit, not sure...gotta find the story behind it.

    edit: it was some firefighter the other guys were hazing and let him eat dogfood. he sued for racism.

    Except at least one of them has basically admitted he's racist after the fact.

    Allegedly, yes. I try not to believe everything I read on the internet. But some fairly reputable sources indicate they chose whitey for a reason.

    The outcome of the case doesn't matter to the mindset before the case, which is what we were talking about.

    Did they say that? Am I missing something?

    Hey, as long as you were misrepresenting and belittling one worldview you don't agree with, might as well make it two. You're super awesome.

    "I'm not sure why you are. It seems kind of obvious. Btw, does anyone else ever get the feeling people are purposely saying things just to piss off people?"

    Indeed; I don't think there's many users here who actually enjoy the virtual company of the other users here. Lots of hate sex in this group.

    I freely admit that in my younger days, I was far more interested in instigating shit. But I'm not 19 anymore.

    But if people don't fall for the bait, they won't do it anymore.

    I enjoy a large majority of users here. Some of them would be surprised that I enjoy their posts. The few I can't stand, I'm upfront with and they know about it.
