42. We don't solve community problems without involvement of actual humans

This is where this gentleman chose to spend his time. Why does that trouble you?

You are apparently clueless about the rampant, blatant abuse, exploitation and disenfranchisement of the people of Ferguson. FOR MANY MANY MANY MANY YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brown was merely the tip of a very deep, substantial iceberg.

If no one showed up or cared, some would say "See, they don't give a damn." A man dedicates some months to a cause, and suddenly this makes him suspect in your eyes.

I will never understand some people's fascination with the most irrelevant, trivial shite.
