I was wondering why I was getting these massive amounts of visits on my Etsy store from Tumblr recently, and here’s why! Thank you for crediting me in this post! =D

The thing about this damn website is people get TOO upset if you don't jump on the Tumblr bandwagon. I have a lot of problems with how differing opinions are handled in this community (as well as any other Internet community). I could go on a rant. Point is fuck the haters. As long as you're happy (or trying to be) and you're not hurting anyone, you should be fine and left to do your thing. No one should give you shit for that. And if they do but claim to be an advocate for acceptance and love for all, then they're being hypocritical.
Mostly reblogged because I've been overwhelmed with anger and disgust for how people on the Internet behave lately and this is how I decided to vent about it.
The rarity of a federal grand jury not indicting, visualized
A data point from FiveThirtyEight’s coverage of Monday night’s events in Ferguson is worth pulling out. “U.S. attorneys prosecuted 162,000 federal cases in 2010,” the site’s Ben Casselman writes, “the most recent year for which we have data. Grand juries declined to return an indictment in 11 of them.”
That data is from a report from the Bureau of Justice Statistics and covers October 1, 2009, to September 30, 2010. Over that time period, over 193,000 federal offenses were investigated, about 16 percent of which were declined for prosecution. That leaves just over 162,300 offenses that the government tried to prosecute. And the grand jury decided against doing so 11 times, finding no true bill or a lack of evidence to do so.
Why did Michael Brown, an 18-year-old kid headed to college, refuse to move from the middle of the street to the sidewalk? Why would he curse out a police officer? Why would he attack a police officer? Why would he dare a police officer to shoot him? Why would he charge a police officer holding a gun? Why would he put his hand in his waistband while charging, even though he was unarmed?
None of this fits with what we know of Michael Brown. Brown wasn’t a hardened felon. He didn’t have a death wish. And while he might have been stoned, this isn’t how stoned people act. The toxicology report did not indicate he was on PCP or something that would’ve led to suicidal aggression.
Which doesn’t mean Wilson is a liar. Unbelievable things happen every day. The fact that his story raises more questions than it answers doesn’t mean it isn’t true.
But the point of a trial would have been to try to answer these questions. We would have either found out if everything we thought we knew about Brown was wrong, or if Wilson’s story was flawed in important ways. But now we’re not going to get that chance. We’re just left with Wilson’s unbelievable story.
Officer Darren Wilson’s story is unbelievable. Literally. (via wilwheaton)
