    Just read the whole article. Yeah, you're not gonna get me to ever call that a bad shoot. Sucks for the cops, I'm sure they feel like shit for what they had to do.

    The douchebag that came up with the Affluenza defense was a paid psychiatrist wasn't he? Talk about a cake job.

    As long as all of your patients don't all kill themselves who's to say you did a bad job?

    I do give a fuck about it in general, that's why. It doesn't consume my daily life and you know why that is. I comment how I feel about anything that interests me. All I had to do to get an emotional response from crandc was post a link and ask a question.

    You think emotional people make rational decisions? That will be a first

    The answer is not in St. Louis, the most racially divided city I've ever seen and I've got numerous relatives in Alabama and Georgia.

    Crystal Mason, an African-American woman in Texas, served 3 years on fraud charges (unlike Trump!). She was unaware, and her probation supervisor did not tell her, that being on community supervision meant she could not vote and tried to cast a ballot in the 2016 election. The ballot was not counted. Ms. Mason said the hardest thing she ever endured was being separated from her two children and never wanted to risk that again, she had just made a mistake. But she was convicted of felony vote fraud and sentenced to five years imprisonment.

    Rosa Maria Ortega is a Latina legal permanent resident in Texas. She mistakenly thought that as a legal permanent resident she could vote in elections. Ms. Ortega was sentenced to eight years imprisonment for felony vote fraud. A felony conviction means she will be lose her legal status and be deported on release although she has lived in the U.S. since she was an infant.

    Steve Curtis, a white male and the chair of the Colorado State Republican Party, signed his ex-wife's ballot. He got four years probation.

    Terri Lynn Rote, a white woman in Iowa, admitted voting for Trump twice. She said she was convinced a rigged system would change her Trump vote to a Clinton vote so voted twice. She got two years probation and a small fine; the conviction will be removed from her record after the two years.

    White Republican privilege.

    No, in Texas that's what they do to black people. Especially black women.

    Never forget Sandra Bland was arrested for not signaling and killed in her cell.

    In any one case we can say “who knows” but when we see these cases all the time it begs a different response.

    You can keep saying "who knows" until your fingers ache but pattern is clear. Saying otherwise is like the tobacco companies saying who knows if smoking causes cancer.

    Have you seen the incarceration rates per state? Louisiana is like 700 plus people per 100,000 residents and Maine is about 100 or so. Cherry picking 4 examples from different states in a country of over 300 million people is stupid.

    OJ got fucked here because we're one of the higher states when it comes to incarceration. Wanna see white privilege? Here.....

    No, of course it isn't. There aren't any variables to account for with tobacco and cancer.

    I've admitted here a million times that as a whole the nation discriminates against black people. I'm not going to accept every example you give as doctrine just because you say so.

    The guy dviss linked that got shot holding a "metal pipe" that's this guy and you'll never convince me it was a bad shoot. Never Screenshot_2018-04-05-06-46-58.jpg

    I hope they don't take this to a trial, that would be an epic waste of money.
