74. Bull fuckin' shit

Fri Aug 28, 2015, 12:17 PM

Aug 2015

I heard all the talking points "he isn't racist; he's remorseful; Trayvon was a criminal/caused his own death/wasn't racially profiled; I was just part of a lynch mob (which was easily the most offensive meme directed at me personally), and so on -- Because I spent thousands of posts arguing back and forth with them while they drove off half of DU's already minuscule number of black posters... Don't try to go all revisionist on me -- I participated in more discussions than anybody (aside from that fuckwit with the 50 sockpuppet accounts)

Had the cops and prosecutors taken the case seriously from the start and done due diligence a conviction would have been assured... But even then, there was enough evidence for a conviction, especially since I see black folks in VA get the electric chair for much flimsier cases...

How many more unarmed black folks have to be gunned down under 'disputed' circumstances before DUers open their fuckin' eyes?

It's against DU TOS to call-out posters. Tommy_Carcetti Aug 2015 #39

Actually it's not. Here's a link to the TOS: Nye Bevan Aug 2015 #40
