Rioting in St. Louis

[Eric_8]

No comment because I'd nothing further to add.

My statement insinuates nothing other than what yours insinuates about me, specifically, that we believe we know where each others opinion would lie on a subject, based upon what we ourselves have stated in the past.

No personal condemnation one way or the other. Just an idea of the other's position.

Anything further would, I think, be of your own making.

Thus why I asked, so I could gently correct your incorrect opinion :smile:

 

[Eric_8]

Soooo one tries to force b.c. into continuing on the conversation through emotions and the other insinuates that emotions cloud judgement. Hmm.

Unreasonable to ask a man who says he knows beyond a shadow of a doubt my opinion on a matter to state my own opinions on said matter?

Don't see the emotional aspect of it. I'd like the chance, however slim, to compliment bc's omniscient ways.

 

[Popyuu]

LOL. Way to man up. Make a statement knowing damn well what you were insinuating and not having the guts to come on out and say it!

Play on, player.

Translation= Do you even lift bro?

Edit: Oh and how could he not know your opinion. You've been repeating it constantly, whether you know it or not.

LOL cheers man. If you know of a way to come to blows via a glorified chat room, you're far more technologically gifted than I.

T'was my brutish way of expecting a man to stand behind a loaded statement that may well be faulty.

Hmm so you're all about standing behind your beliefs now huh. Ok lets put a pin in that for future reference. :wink:

Oh and err have you even heard of the "Do you even lift bro?" meme it speaks more to the joke i accurately made. You should look it up.

Brutish? Yes, i agree. Which by your own admition is against your usual mediator stand point. Just sayin.

 

[heirtothewind]

Well, I'll be...guess I'll hit up the closest gay bar with a shirt that says "will take it in the ass in the bathroom for free drinks!!!"

That, and blowjobs too? Is it anything like eating a girl out? I've got SOME experience in the latter, but don't know how it will translate to the former?

Should I start dressing differently now? Wearing different cologne? I'm so confused!!!

Thank you for allowing me to see the error of my ways Sir Wind...truly a lifesaver!!

Indeed, you're welcome.

This issue is too polarized for anyone to pretend, as you do, to be objective. Pick a side and advocate for it as any good lawyer would do. In other words, either shit or get off the pot.

Put it as your tagline amigo...I'd be glad to be held to account.

Nope. NEVER heard of it. I have a facebook and instagram, and I've never heard of it...which is why I took it in the literal sense.

Self-deprecation is a wonderful thing...though I'm not getting where this mediator thing comes from.

Or, ding ding ding, tell him what's behind door 3 Johnny!!!

Wait for an acceptable amount of information to come in before casting serious judgment as to what happened, and what justice should look like!

Think I'll take the 3rd.

Why exactly are there 3 threads on this same subject?

Why exactly are there 3 threads on this same subject?

Good question. As far as i can tell, and i could be wrong.

This one was created more as a statement by Honey bunny to say that "they" should let the place burn to the ground.

The Unarmed White Man Shot Dead in Dallas, TX one was created by
KTF40 to show how white people are sooo much better at handling these sorts of situations.

The race card thread created by me was asking if white males knew the difference between "playing the race card" and actual instances where concerns were valid.

And along the way of each, the conversation was diverted about a million times or so to topics relating to race.

If, in fact you were talking about those three threads. :wink:

 

[slurper_la]

Right. The jury has already spoken. No need for the facts, investigations, or contradicting eye witness accounts. Guilty.

And at the end of the day another unarmed, black teenager is dead!!! Don't you and your ilk get it? Where is HIS jury? Where is the investigation into HIS aledged actions?

Police are supposed to be the grown-ups in the room. They are supposed to be the professionals trained to handle these situations without escalating the trouble.

Guess it no longer matters. The teenager is dead. Move on folks, nothing to see here.

I get it. It's a tragedy. Don't misconstrue my suggestion for calm and patience and waiting for the investigation as indifference. The opposite has happened here, where the "facts" are in and the community, and those on this site, have found the officer guilty, a charge many of your "ilk" in the past have similarly asked for the facts to come in. Reporting on deaths at the hands of the police in the midst of the current environment is not helping the situation, in fact is contributing to the heightened emotions, and is irresponsible, but not surprising coming from her.

And in the future, would appreciate your not putting a spin on my posts. Thank you.

Yes, another black teenager is dead. But why?

Was it his bad decisions or was it the abuse of power by the police?

Since neither of us was there we'll have to wait for all of the facts to come in, not rush to judgement based on a few sound bites from the news.

Yes police are supposed to be trained professionals but they also have the right to protect themselves and their also human beings that make mistakes just like you and I.

Ahhh but the facts are not in, are they? If we agree on anything it is that everyone is jumping to conclusions. But as everyone tugs and pushes in all directions we lose sight of the base reality in the case. Someone is dead. And that death could've probably been avoided.

Yes, another black teenager is dead. But why?

Could've been both / either. But what bad decisions could the kid have made that warranted multiple bullets fired into him as he raised his hands in surrender?

Yet many are

Yes police are supposed to be trained professionals but they also have the right to protect themselves and their also human beings that make mistakes just like you and I.

And I would never want to be in that officer's shoes, now living with the reality of having killed a man, whatever the circumstances. Absent hate, malice or forethought, I feel for him. But, what was he protecting himself from, a fleeing teenager? We all make mistakes true, but I'm confident I will never make a mistake so overwhelmingly final.

Apparently he can claim to know or anticipate your opinion on something, but if you say the same, it's a "loaded statement".

Tbh though, I'm not interested in tit-for-tat b.s.

Let's stick to argument over the issues, positions, logic, and ideology.

I don't agree that it's irresponsible. It's just the nature of journalism. When another school shooting occurs, do they not talk about past shootings and gun violence in general? When a major storm looms, do they not recall past catastrophic events?

Same thing. If a discussion of these killings is not appropriate now, then when??

PS: in related examples... Why don't you set your soapbox in front of conservative darling Nancy Grace who usually has people tried, judged and hanged long before ANY facts are in.

Based on Pop's opinion, it would certainly seem that I can, as I've made it so plainly obvious.

Which, again, is why I'm so curious to know what exactly said opinions are.

Are we on an episode of Punk'd with this one?

 

[deleted15807]

Already we've had the discrediting of the victim, the adjustment of the "official" narrative to match up with known facts (hence, the story goes from the officer having no knowledge of the store robbery beforehand, to his having seen Brown with cigars), the portrayal of officer Wilson as above reproach (with honors), and now the suggestion that Brown, an unarmed man at whom officer Wilson reportedly shot at, somehow "doubled back" to confront the officer (the inevitable self defense narrative).

Yes the denigration and character assassination of another dead black teenger a.k.a 'thug'. Have we used that term yet? Surely it's in the chute. And yes expect Officer Wilson to become a conservative hero for standing up for law and order as the blame-the-victim brigade gets in full swing.

As I would, doing likewise.

You forget that, unlike some others here, I've long ago deduced exactly from whence you come.

Exactly. Long long ago.

 

[Eric_8]

Exactly. Long long ago.

Again, with how obviously clear I've made my opinions to be, I'm DYING to know what they actually are!
