I'd bet you did not have this concept and stigmatize it by age, when Trump advocated for the death penalty for the Central Park Kids, and certainly none of what you say, applied to the police Killing Tarmir Rice. Geez!!!!!!!
but, in what you say, its fine and dandy to kill a threat or perceived threat or a murderer, if they are not white, is all you are spinning around to try and assert. so, you just as well stop trying to push your slant and base it on 13yr old as a premise. Heck, I've yet to see a white person not try to find a way to sanitize white shooters and killers who are discussed in the media... That's what your spin amounts to.
I don't care who a shooter is that kills kids at school, they should get the death penalty and if they are caught in the act with a gun, they should get what they get. If they are apprehended by some means without the gun and not fighting back, then they go to jail, and let the courts give them what they get, including the choice of death penalty.
And this is as good a place as any to have such a discussion... That's what wrong with people, they want to pretend we are some nation of angels, when that is far from the truth, heck the history of America is one where white people should have long ago address the mass of killers in their ethnic group, which no matter what, they try and skirt by it or sanitize it, but as long as they are not white, then the narrative changes.....
Go tell you twist to some of the parents who lost kids in school shooting, or any kind of murderous act, be it by the police or another person.
America should start showing the gruesome details to wake people up. But this society can't even face the reality of seeing the gruesome truths.....
We discuss this often in work setting, about driving accident, where no one want to show "the real horror of the tragedy" even when someone has been texting and driving and wipe out individuals and families. The best training video are from foreign location, because too many american's are into "let's pretend"... yet, kids are being shot and some dying on a weekly basis.
Don't tell me what kind of subjects are to be discussed... with the litany of stuff that people post about. people get a few thousand post in this site and think they can control the forum... Heck, I got more than 1.8 Million comments in another Forum, and have 10's of thousand of posting in multiple sites... either discuss what you want, or don't.... but this "let's pretend reality is not real... is not addressing life... that's party of how and why Republicans keep kicking our asses....
