You'd be surprised how staring down the barrel of an M-1 Abrams can change your perspective.


And I wonder how many people calling for tanks in Ferguson bitched about Tiananmen Square?
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Fuck private property.

That escalated quickly.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

Normally a shotgun would be enough for a civilian to protect themselves, but this rare situation seems to warrant assault weapons with high capacity magazines at minimum. To have a fighting chance against a full crowd of people, 30 or more rounds would prove decisive.

So you admit that there are Republicans on Stormfront, and therefore there are people on Stormfront who will also make those types of comments to justify their racism. Okay then.


Maybe registered Republican voters, but certainly nobody who is actively invested in Mitt Romney's political career.

The same could be said of Democrats and Marxist sites. Sure, Marxists will lean Democrat because they are the lesser of two evil their eyes, but that doesn't mean they're actually Democrats.

the defense has the ability to present evidence to the grand jury as well, they usually dont as they dont want to show their hand to the prosectutor before they have too. Grand jury testimony is admissible at trial and can be used against them. As i said i think the prosectutor tactics were to give them everything to cover his ass, and i think it was smart on his part as well, because wilsons team was going to enter it if he didnt. I think wilson talking to them was a good move by the defense team. I am sure the grand jury was aware defendants usually dont.

You are right, he probably has not had testified as a defendant, but its a process i would think he is comfortable in and that comfort level during testimony would lead the grand jury to believe he was telling the turth.


Seriously, I have never, ever heard of a prosecutor presenting exculpatory evidence to a grand jury without giving it a perspective less favorable to the defendant.



I dont follow the grand jury process well enough to comment, and I dont know that he gave it less than favorable. but its too late and i am to tired to continue. so good night yummy and all

The ability to see beyond color and to see rather the content of ones character is what MLK wanted, not this.


That is a cute defense "BUT WHAT WOULD MLK DO?!" just like Christians also go "THINK ABOUT WHAT JESUS WOULD DO?!" as a defense for horrible ideas.

If you need to use a historical figure to justify your already horrible argument, then you should feel bad and ashamed of even thinking that way.

You should specify more, what "horrible ideas" am i advocating?
I point out a skewed values system that perpetuates the the violence that is being live streamed as we speak. Nothing to do with race. I hoped i had made clear my stance that that i see nothing in race, only in character.
