While a lot of these are great responses (DICE), I would throw a party for family and the few friends I have who are not family. A buffet of food. A few hundred dollars of booze available. Rock Band on tap as well as a gaming table or just a place for people to sit and drink and watch "those fools" at the other happenings.
I admit this kind of surprised me as I figured you’d get a 3D computer thing, but I like this answer a lot better!! I COULD HELP YOU PLAN A FUCKING BALLER PARTY.

@docholligay I HAVEN'T PRICED A TRIP IN FOREVER SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S REASONABLE FOR THE PRICE. Maybe Vegas, fuck it.
Yeah Vegas would be totally doable! We could have a great few days in vegas for 2,000 and live pretty wild! I’d do an out and back trip where we just lose our minds for like, two days.

I forget what it’s called, but Amtrak does a pretty cool scenic trail along the west coast (and into Canada I believe). I’d pick out a few cities along to way to stay in and write that baby off as a “research trip” for writing or art research come tax season. One thing about being a creative working person is that the job can also be 100% fun XD
oooh I love the idea of a train trip! I love Amtrak, I’ve taken the Empire Builder more than once. Which cities would you stay in?

I have to admit, the idea of having two thousand dollars is kind of leaving me with static. Not being able to use it for practical things even more so. It would probably go to having some kind of massive shopping trip when con season rolls around again and/or renewing my dice of the month box. That doesn't even feel like it could account for half of it though.
WELL IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU BUY AT A CON., Or you could travel to a con!

My first instinct is to say I’d buy more tacky impractical clothes (I LOVE suit jackets that shimmer or are velvet or have bold designs, that sort of thing) and then use the rest on some excuse/occasion to wear them, but I can’t think of what that would be
Oh my god please yes buy tacky tacky jackets and then like, tickets to a ball in NYC or something!!

The idea of having $2000 and not being able to use it for something practical is honestly breaking my brain. Probably a vacation of some sort--a national park or someplace where I could do a history deep dive. And a new cat tree.
Oooh can you think of which park you’d like to see? Jill and I are thinking of doing Denali next.

If you mean only stuff and not trips, then I would buy that Queen Beryl dress because holy fuck that is extra I cannot justify it normally but with 2k it is mine. And then probably a lot of dresses, especially elegant gothic lolita clothing because that shit has the best prints but is expensive as motherfuck.
Have you looked on ebay for gothic lolita stuff? Idk EXACTLY what you’re looking for but I’ve seen a bunch on there at more reasonable prices.

I would go to Orlando, FL and stay in this super cheesy hotel that Mr. Geeky stayed in once, that's done all in over-the-top 50s decor, has a bowling alley, an arcade, and a huge cafeteria instead of a little breakfast bar. Then probably Universal Studios because why the hell not but I have to admit the hotel is big draw. That or to California to see the Winchester mansion because, hell, have you met me? XD

Probably commission some art. Maybe some display shelves! Certainly some more figuarts and stuff like that. A cute and ridiculous cat house! Probably just a bunch of fun stuff. I'd say *maybe*. a road trip but I don't know if that would meet the 'silly' criteria. XD
I think road trips can be silly! I fucking love a road trip.

Why am I paying more for my insurance because of my credit?
So, I recently paid off all my debt that was racked up from an irresponsible boyfriend. My score is in the high 600's, so pretty mediocre....but I'm relieved that I don't have any debt. The insurance I pay on my car is a higher quote than normal due to my credit and I'm just curious why that would influence the rates. How does having past outstanding debt mean I am a bad or unsafe driver? I am 30, have a college degree, have a good job, don't have anything negative on my driving record. I just don't think that it's fair to be charged more than another person because of spending habits; the two (in my mind) are completely unrelated.""
""Compare car insurance with health insurance, car insurance is a law, health insurance isn't why?""
car insurance is a law right? and I know a lot of people that have a very difficult time paying car insurance since it's so high, but it seems like insurance companies are making a lot of money, NOW how can we compare that to health insurance if it became a law to have to have it. You would hope that health insurance would be more affordable since more people are putting money into the pot right, but I am afraid but it being a law, the rich (insurance companies will get richer) and raise the cost of health insurance since it's a law. Maybe our solution would be to have our government give us tax breaks on health insurance premiums and some how get more for our money with health insurance. It's sad that you have to spend $500.00 a month for health insurance but still have to pay office visits and wait 6 months for preexisting problems. Maybe the solution is to have better health insurance options, right? Isn't that what McCain wants?""

What's the cheapest way to commute between Liverpool and Manchester?
Hi, I'm starting a new job in Manchester next month and I'm trying to find the cheapest way to commute. I'll be travelling from Rock Ferry to Manchester Piccadilly 5 days a week and my working hours will be roughly 9am to 5pm, although some days will require an earlier start and a later finish. I've looked at a rail season ticket and was shocked to discover it would cost 3008.00 with First Trans Penine. I've also read that the train journey is horrendous. My wife and I share a car but realistically, she can't rely on me to pick her up and drop her off at work at the same time every day (she works in Liverpool) so we would potentially need another car. With that, comes the initial cost of buying the vehicle, then tax, insurance, MOT and weekly fuel, which in my mind will cost even more than the rail season ticket. Added to that is the fact that we're not particularly well off so can't afford more than a couple of thousand for a 2nd hand car. A brand new car on finance would be out of the question. So, are there any regular Liverpool to Manchester commuters out there and if so, how do you keep your costs down? Any suggestions would be much appreciated!""

I stayed home 6 weeks after my baby was born since my work doesn't cover any of my pay. I work in a very small private business, just 3 of us. My boss had never handled maternity leave before, and I think he did it wrong. A few weeks after I gave birth he said he got a check from the disability insurance agency, it was made out to his business. So he cashed it and wrote me a check for the total amount from his business account. There was no explanation of how to dole it out, so he just gave me the total amount. Then, just now, 3 weeks later, I got another check mailed to my home from the insurance company?? What happened? I should of only got paid for the 3.5 weeks I believe from short term disability because I was paid for the rest. The insurance company is not open until tomorrow so I cannot call them yet.""
""People w/o health insurance how do you pay for medical care, or do you?""
I looked into insurance available to me in Georgia and here what the least affordable costs me: $350/month, 20% specialist cost after a $3500/yr deductible, 3 doctor visits per year at $45 each, $20 for each prescription, no dental/vision coverage and other charges that add up to over $7500/yr. And all of this BEFORE the latest 14% price hike. I've decided to save up the same $7500/yr for medical expenses and chuck the insurance companies. I figure some years I won't use all the money and it could go towards the years when I need it. What's your solution?""

I have Aetna. I know that, over here in Virginia, Medicaid is completely free & they will automatically give a pregnant woman insurance thru them. I'm not sure where to go w/ insurance as far as our first baby goes. Do we keep our separate insurances & just add each other & the baby? Do we drop both & get Medicaid?

Can someone explain somethings about Car Insurance to me?
Okay, long story short. Last week I got in a car accident with some friends. My back is messed up and I went to the doctor Monday. He told me that my lower back muscles, tendons, and my lumbar are all swollen and sprained. My parents want my friend's family's insurance to pay for the doctor bills, plus they want to get me something (I think it's called compensation or something, I can't remember) basically, the insurance company will pay me money. I guess my questions are just these: If you were my friend's parents in this situation, would you be mad? Is my family technically suing my friend's family? Does her family find out about this or is it all confiential between me, my parents, and the insurance?

Do I need a consent to settle by my own auto insurance company?
The guy who hit me does not have an ample amount of insurance to cover my injuries. They are offering me the policy limits to settle. My own uninsured or uninsured motorist has been given enough documentation to know that my additional insurance will come into play. I have filed suit against the guy and his insurance company, but do I need a letter of consent to settle with them from my own insurance company to make sure that my uninsured motorist coverage will still be available to me. I really think it is criminal for any insurance company or state to make the limits on auto insurance so low, when the average cost of an auto accident is higher than the minimum coverages that they allow drivers to driver under. Also, there are many attorneys that wont even look at taking a case unless the limits are much higher than state minimum, because they can make considerably more on those who are very well insured. My own insurance company is treating my like I am retarded, and I was until I started reading all the insurance laws and bought a very fine civil litigation book for 4 dollars, best investment I ever made.

I responded to a newspaper ad recently and bought a 1971 vw beetle. The car had no plates and no paperwork that I could find.

The seller said he had originally bought it at auction with the intent of using its (good) engine for a sand rail dune buggy, but that like many other good plans requires time. Once paid for, I was provided no bill of sale which I feel I was owed. It was as if the seller felt that since he had let the car go very cheap, that he owed no person any more, and if he did, he should've either charged more or wrecked it instead. Like he could have gone to the trouble but would be put out for something extraneous. The seller has a shop in an easy to find location, so it is not as if I cannot find him, and he doesn't appear to be trying to hide, hes just a strangely irritable and crotchety person.""

The “Other Side” of Sports Gambling Has Always Existed
Match fixing, bribery, extortion! Corruption! Has the Supreme Court opened Pandora’s Box of illicit activity with Monday’s historic ruling?
In case you’re living under a rock, SCOTUS decided that the 1992 federal anti-sports gambling law is unconstitutional, which now gives individual states the right to allow sports betting. That’s a win for the 10th Amendment type who wants the independence to spend his or her own money as they see fit, while the federal government focuses on more important things, like governing the country. I think we call those people Libertarians. Or are they moderate Republicans? Actually, I’ve been told by the comments section to stick to sports, so let’s stick to sports before we anger the “Paul Jolovitz Fan Club President.”
You’ll see states begin to roll out programs immediately while leagues like the NBA look to monetize the ruling. It makes sense for every organization to embrace this and find ways to turn the inevitability into a positive, but the NFL seems committed to being a bit hard-headed, at least for now:
NFL sticking with their position that, above all, sports gambling is harmful to its game. pic.twitter.com/IXVqwL4BJQ
�� Darren Rovell (@darrenrovell) May 14, 2018
My first thought is that legalized sports betting will bring new audiences to the game, much like fantasy football did for the NFL. People who otherwise did not give a shit about the Jaguars vs. the Titans would at least tune in to see whether Blake Bortles would throw three touchdowns or three interceptions. Likewise, people who don’t care about the WNBA or MLS might explore a lower-level league in an effort to unearth a money-making strategy. Maybe the degenerate who frequents SugarHouse Casino might put their money into sports instead of Craps once Pennsylvania rolls out a program.
The flip side is that some people think this opens the door for more scandal from within. More Pete Rose types. Think about the NWSL player who only makes $55,000 a year who might be enticed by the ability to bet against herself and then half-ass the on-field effort. Think about the referees who could exhibit a tight whistle or just not blow it at all in the dying seconds of a close game.
The short answer to all of that is that corruption already exists in sports and always has. I mentioned Rose. How about Havertown’s very own Tim Donaghy?
He spoke about this very thing in a 2015 article with The Guardian:
Certainly organized crime played a role in the storyline here. How much of a hand does organized crime have in professional sports?
Any time that you have a sporting event with a Vegas line to it, there’s always going to be somebody involved in organized crime trying to make a dollar off of it. So I think that they constantly are trying to get to that referee, to get to a player, to get to somebody, a trainer, or a coach who can give them inside information to where they can take advantage of it. So, I think it’s always going to be there, and it is there.
It always was there and it’s always going to be there, and the motivator doesn’t even necessarily have to be money. For instance, after winning the 2006 World Cup, Italy was rocked by a match-fixing scandal that revealed that multiple high ranking domestic clubs had been working with refereeing officials to influence game assignments. Historic clubs like Milan, Fiorentina, and Lazio were hit with point deductions, fines, and bans. Juventus was kicked out of the first division entirely. The primary point was to win games, but maybe, as an aside, you could make some money, too.
This happens everywhere. Look up baseball’s Black Sox Scandal, or the point-shaving scandals involving Arizona State and San Diego basketball. Even the eSports nerds got in on the action.
What changes now is that the black market is no longer the black market. It’s not shadowy, organized crime syndicates. Athletes can simply bet on themselves and take that money straight to the bank.
I think that’s going to be a nothingburger for the typical “four major sports” athlete who makes a multi-million dollar salary. JJ Redick, for instance, doesn’t need to supplement his $22 million by bricking a few three pointers on purpose. But the NHL teenager on a rookie deal might be enticed.
One thing to consider, from a purely economic standpoint, is that states that legalize gambling can now make money via taxes. It’s like marijuana, no? People are gonna smoke it anyway, so why not make it legalize and tax it? Lemmy from Motorhead (RIP) once pointed out that the heroin epidemic would be solved if you made the drug legal. Drive away the dealers and you regain control of the situation, theoretically. I know that’s a somewhat extreme example, but we’re just talking about taking an undergound market and bringing it to the surface. To that end, NBA commissioner Adam Silver has talked about his league needing to add integrity measures to combat corruption. Additionally, there’s the concept of the NBA possessing a form of intellectual property, since the association provides the on-court product that makes gambling even possible. Those are interesting sidebars to consider.
Maybe the most intriguing thing, however, is the college athlete. The NCAA is going to be hugely impacted when unpaid players see a way to make some cash off the new rules. As I mentioned above, the player who isn’t making six or seven figures is going to be more keen to profit. That’s especially the case if you earn a zero-figure salary.
Consider this:
In past, NCAA would not allow championships in cities that allow sports wagering.
— Dana O'Neil (@DanaONeilWriter) May 14, 2018
Memo to @NCAA: You saw what just happened, yes? It's OK to finally abandon your hypocritical stance on no championship play in Las Vegas. Really, it is. You will be fine. The world won't end. You're decades late to the party on this. Your seat awaits.
— Ed Graney (@edgraney) May 14, 2018
No matter how the NCAA feels about this ruling, they’re going to be forced to adapt in some way, shape, or form. They will be pulled into the 21st Century to join the rest of us.
There are also some cultural ramifications to this whole thing. Gambling is “haram,” or forbidden in Islam, and there have been issues in the past with Muslim athletes who play for teams sponsored by gambling and lending companies. A former Newcastle player made headlines with this kind of situation a few years ago.
How about the little kid who is now growing up in a world where money is inexplicably tied to sports? I think we probably already live in that world, but we might have betting windows at the ballpark soon, just like they do in England. That’s going to be different from the world you and I grew up in.
I also wonder how much the TV networks and traditional journalists focus on betting. ESPN starting talking about spreads on College Gameday either last year or the year before, but do they now have a betting analyst on a round table discussion? Do they carve out segments for gambling advice? Is that any different from fantasy football talk?
Here’s my thing – I think anybody who had interest in betting on sports was already betting on sports. DraftKings, Fanduel, throwing $20 into your buddy’s fantasy football league, etc. It’s always sort of been there, whether you like it or not, or whether you agree with it or not. And the illicit activity that comes with it has also been there since the dawn of creation.
You can say that the “sanctity of sport” is in jeopardy or whatever, but we live in a country where posers jump on and off bandwagons at will. Clueless people call sports radio daily. Philadelphia natives become Dallas Cowboy fans. I find all of that to be offensive and blasphemous, so it’s not like allowing people to legally waste their money changes anything.
I’m all for the invisible hand, just like Adam Smith. The market will guide itself. We’ll figure out the rest.

Black in Corporate America
I never imagined during my collegiate days that I would still struggle with being African American working for Fortune 500 and global companies. It's a thought that never crossed my mind as I sat in my business classes with professors who walked the walk before me. They would lecture on working harder than everyone else, on making friends with the folks in the mailroom, and learning how to play the "corporate game". All of these things went over my naive head in the early 90s. I suspect it's because I went to private school from first to twelfth grade and I never experienced being treated unfairly by my teachers or any classmates for that matter. I was smart and never felt any type of way. I knew it existed with some of my other classmates being called a nigger and the like but it didn't affect me the way it does now. I guess you can say I wasn't "woke" in my teens the way some of these young people are in today's racial climate. I was more concerned with watching "The Box", watching Soap Operas, and hanging with my friends. I wasn't versed on the Regan and republican politics nor did I care. As a college student, my focus was on graduating not on Bill Clinton's crime bill. I voted for him and even helped with his campaign but that's where my interest ended. Eighteen years in Corporate America. Almost two decades of being a professional and productive member of society. I have a Masters degree in Business with a concentration in Accounting. I'm the real deal...I'm a woman...a Black woman...with a MBA...and a tax accountant! I'm dangerous and so I've learned over these past eighteen years I'm not wanted. As I've matured over the years I've learned to ignore that part, but all of the other stressors shine the light on the fact that we African Americans deal with some very heavy obstacles that few seem to be able to manage. I've seen it over and over countless times of disparities in the workplace that plague us from city to city and company to company. It doesn't matter how great a company's diversity programs are there will always be an employee or two or a hundred who don't buy into the company's million dollar program on inclusion and diversity. And somehow I often end up reporting directly to the aforementioned employee and I'm not sure how I survived this long. My Dad in all his infinite wisdom told me very early in life to become an entrepreneur. He had the right ideas but no advice how to execute and after seeing his business fail, I decided working for someone else was safer. I wish I had listened to him or asked more questions. I always rolled my eyes and blew him off because let's face it African Americans don't have access to capital and resources to start businesses. We don't even support our own community entrepreneurs and I wasn't going to be any different. So like those books I used to read when I was a kid where you had a choice of an ending by choosing a certain page, I chose Corporate America and turned to page 97. My mother often says that I'm the most resourceful person she knows and that I can find out anything. I wish I had drawn from her faith in me and started my own business. But no I chose page 97 so here I am. The lure of Corporate America is of course the money, status, benefits, and holidays off. Unless you went to FAMU's School of Business and Industry (shameless plug) no one tells you of the unspoken stress that affects those of us bamboozled, lead astray, and run amuck by a form of modern day slavery. As a Black woman I have to constantly combat stereotypes of the "angry black woman". I constantly wonder if getting upset in front of my coworkers adds fuel to the ridiculous notion that Black women cannot be angry. As if we are expected to always wear a smile and deal with every level of BS that comes our way without any form of emotion. It's ridiculous and also preposterous to think a human being cannot show emotion. You are allowed to feel and have emotions. You should be able to express yourself without someone labeling you as "angry" as if that's the only emotion we carry. How about frustrated or annoyed, which doesn't always equate to "angry". Please don't be lazy and label black women as angry because you don't want to do the work to have a conversation about what the issue may be. I equate this to slavery because we are being told without being told how to feel and how to react to being mistreated on sometimes a daily basis. Most women of color that I know have had that instance in the workplace where someone who is not a person of color told them to smile, not shake their head or roll their eyes as if we are property and they can still dictate what we can and cannot do with our own bodies. To demand a person of color to smile or not shake their head or roll their eyes is rude and racist. In addition to constantly wondering about my "perception" (also a racially motivated term in Corporate America), I am constantly conscious of my tone and sound of my voice. Can you image if everyday you have to think about not only what you say and how you say it but the sound of your voice too? That stress alone is enough for anyone to flip over their desks and walk out with the peace sign high in the air with any song by Kendrick Lamar playing as theme music. Ok maybe this is my recurring dream and everyone doesn't feel this way but I know at some point you have had to navigate through this maze of BS dealing with your tone and sound of your voice. After you have managed to identify this obstacle, your next obstacle is to learn to play this ridiculous middle school game of office politics. This is where I fail miserably because I'm grown and believe in being honest and upfront with people. I don't believe in throwing rocks and hiding my hand, throwing my coworkers under the bus, or being mediocre on a daily basis. I've never mastered this game and I flat out chose to sit on the bench while they sell their momma's out for a few coins. It's never been worth it to me to become a phony and unprofessional person. I happen to believe in the character of a person and being honest and trustworthy but I guess those are just buzz words nowadays that get kicked around like an empty soda can. Trust. It's such a heavy and important word. In Corporate America you are expected to trust those above you in a blind way like you trust God. I'm sorry but for me when someone shows you they mean you no good, trust is not an option. But the stressful part is you have to work with this person regardless of how you feel about them. Most people say they can work with anyone regardless of how you feel about them, however I believe you don't do your best work when you are literally working side-by-side with Satan himself. I've found myself leaving the office completely drained of any energy. Their negative and toxic selves suck all the energy from your body that you literally go home and sink into the couch in a semi-comatose state. It's unfair to work in a hostile environment where your boss curses, calls you out of your name in front of others, and yells at you and has not one professional bone in their body. So the nitpicking obstacle is enough to send your eyes into involuntary rolling. It's harassment in no uncertain terms. It's the kind of harassment that has you questioning why you even work there when at the same time you are more competent than most and have tons of education and initiative that you are often the one overworked because you do the most. You take on project after project because you are driven by nature not realizing it allows some to get comfortable in their mediocrity. They don't have to do any extra work because they know you will. Yet, the powers that be nitpick you to death and it's almost always not about your work product. 9.8 times out of ten it's about the "perception" that was conjured up just in case they need some justification to screw you out of a raise, promotion, or even your current position. Even if you are promoted they will stifle your growth and limit or eliminate your authority. You were a calculated promotion because they can say in their review that they embrace diversity all while making your life a living hell and increasing their bonus. I have no advice for those in similar situations except pray because that's all I've been able to do. Pray that God gives you peace to endure through these storms that seem to never end and pray that God fights your battles because if you try you will most definitely fail. The system is not designed for people of color. It is a winding and rocky road we travel for success that only we can measure. No one can measure your success for you. All you can do is your absolute best with whatever position you happen to hold. Well I do have two pieces of advice and that's by all means don't go to Human Resources. They are not your friend and they don't care what happens to you. They work for the company and their vested interest is to the company. Your issues with your supervisor or manager are just a means to weed you out and hire someone else who doesn't "complain" or "cause trouble". It's a shame that a person who is being discriminated and harassed by a fellow employee has no resources with their employer...or maybe it's just us...just people of color that have to abide by this unspoken rule. Hire a lawyer if it's that bad. My second piece of advice is to journal your experiences every single time. The best method is to email your personal email account from your work email. It is date and time stamped so it gives much more credibility than a handwritten journal. This is something I failed to do time and time again. From one company to the next I never documented my treatment and thus never had an advantage whenever I was disenfranchised. This documentation can also be used if the treatment is so bad you have to seek legal action. Maybe it's just me and I'm alone in this world of trying to navigate Corporate America while maintaining some form of sanity and purity of self although I know I'm not. I've seen my friends post their woes on social media detailing accounts of harassment and mistreatment by coworkers or managers above them. I've talked with folks who have cried on numerous occasions because folks are out here playing games at work when they clearly don't have enough work to do meanwhile we are all stressed out seeking professional therapy. It's incredibly discouraging because I'm a mentor at heart and I want to tell these young professionals to run far away from this toxic and demeaning environment designed for us to fail. I'm sure there are anomalies out there that truly believe in treating others with respect and dignity and who believe that diversity and inclusion are better for society as a whole. But until then, start your own businesses and build the community by creating jobs for our own. Don't pick page 97 if you don't have to because of fear or comfort. Be better than me and find a way to be your own boss. There is something to be said of being free completely. This is the answer that I ignored in my youth. It may not be too late for me but it's definitely not too late for the younger generation and I implore you to explore your options. African Americans, if I don't know anything else, are the most creative people on this planet. You can do this! Start teaching your children about starting businesses because that is the key to building wealth without of course stealing it but that's a blog for another day. Stay Blessed.

"We're At The Edge Of A Terrible Period" - Chicago Cops Condemn "Sickening" Social Media Video Of Teen Kidnap, Attack
Remember that your hard earned Tax dollars are being used to enable this as you fill out your tax returns asking for a little bit back that you over paid. Equal Rights for none, special rights for some.
Obama will post bail for them and invite them to the wh with the Clock Boy and kerpeckian and trayvon's mother for beer and cookies and a heaping good laugh at the destruction of America.
Obama won't need to post bail for them. He'll pardon them along with the other 1,000+ dope dealers he's let loose on the streets.
I'm waiting to see how many of them don't recommit. I'm guessing, maybe 1-2%...
'I'm waiting to see how many of them don't recommit. I'm guessing, maybe 1-2%...'
The ones that don't 'recommit' will only not do so because they're already dead.
No shit. Total coincidence, right? Can you imagine if the races were reversed?
And I was fucking hilarious listening to this on the radio this morning on the way to work. "4 18 years reportedly kidnapped another 18 year old and threatened, abused, and tortured him while live streaming the act" or some variation of that. Only 1 time out of the 4 times I heard it talked about mentioned the race. The double standard is disgusting.
It is disgusting and getting very old, I was listing to Imus in the Morning on the radio and they were still talking about the Bull Shit Russian Hacking story. Not even a mention of this.
"Investigators will "determine whether or not this is sincere or just stupid ranting and raving," Duffin said when asked about the language used in the recording."
Didn't know you can use the "Just Kidding" argument in court...especially if you humiliate and physically assault a person while you have them tied up.
Trying to figure out who has a higher IQ...the morons that did this of this Duffin caracter?
At some point we will have to start calling a Spade, a Spade...
Whenever I'm asked to give my name and I don't feel like giving my real one I say I'm John David Stutts. He's the guy who shot and killed Buckwheat in the SNL series.
... and now the Trump supporters are going to riot and loot and burn down shops in their own suburbs and throw rocks at the cops and ... ... honest, they really are ... any minute now ...
This racism thing is so new, pray for all the oppressed white people in America that have to deal with the burdens of racism. It has been a long 8 years for them.
What we have now is the culmination of generations of a people that are growing up feral. They only know how to consume, not produce. We're gonna have a flash point sooner rather than later.
The decision to charge someone with a specific statute crime is always in the hands of a US County District Attorney, as is, the specific crime(s) to charge.
In this case, Cook County and CPD investigators will take their time. They do not want to enrage the black community with potentially false charges against these 4 black youths, - on the cusp of adulthood. They do not want another "Baltimore" on their hands.
Because video evidence, generated by those who committed the act, of the beating of a young, white, mentally challenged individual, is simply not enough.
For those in the community that would rise up to protect these criminals, pull out the AR-15's and mow them down! NOBODY, ABSOLUTELY NOBODY, of any race, who supports this kind of violence in ANY community has any place in our society!
I wish you were correct. But, this is and always has been a cognitively inferior race of human being by genome. They don't understand anything. Their lack of comprehension is stupifying. Punish them with violence and they will react but not understand. If left alive by their punishment they will forever see it as an aggregious act committed against them. Yes, they are that dumb--allowing for some slight mitigation by White genetics introduced in their DNA by interracial breeding.
Just another example of why Obama earned the Nobel Peace Prize. We are soooooo united now.
Hey Barry!!!! When are you and Mochelle going to start speaking out against dis chit????? You gots time to mess with da Jews in Israel.
There was a time....early '80s......when you would hear in the black community, "You aren't representing." This meant that you were acting like a dumb ass and making the rest of the black community look like idiots. You were smelling up the place and ruining things for the rest of the blacks. The blacks were on the upswing then. What happened??? You should all go listen to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' commencemrnt address to Hillsdale college last spring. His fellow blacks in his community growing up would severely berate him (whoop his ass) if he behaved as these blacks have done. Look where he got.
Like a white boy will ever go near a black neighborhood again?!?!?!?!
