Rob's House

Ever notice how the white people who insist whites should shut up and listen on racial issues because we can't possibly understand the black experience are constantly lecturing us on what the black experience is like.

As the saying goes, If you want to make a conservative mad tell him a lie. If you want to make a liberal mad tell him the truth.

Click the link. Seriously.

This is the most gloriously delightful case of black on white violence I've ever seen.

I think everyone who supports the riots should put their money where there mouth is and burn down their own house and/or business in solidarity.

Righteous protest This thread breaks it down nicely

It's all a scam. It grates on me when I hear this crap about people living in fear that this will happen to their sons. It would be more rational to lie awake at night worrying if their sons will be struck by lightning.

Correct.

I suppose that's true, but "person of interest" doesn't connote any legal status. If the cops want to bring him in for questioning they can ask him, but if he tells them to ***** off they can only arrest him or honor his request.

With the benefit of hindsight they may have charged him sooner, but mob appeasement is not usually cause for a rushed investigation. There is really no other benefit to a hurried arrest. As far as person of interest, that typically is another way of saying suspect, as in someone you suspect of committing the act. They already knew who committed the act, the question was how to deal with it. But regardless of that, you can't hold a person of interest, other than a brief Terry Stop, without arresting him. Prior to his arrest the suspect is free to walk away.

No. Plus, he wasn't a person of interest. They knew who did what, they probably just wanted some time to figure out how to handle it. There was no urgency wrt the arrest. The delay isn't really a legitimate concern. It's fairly common. It's just being proffered as an excuse to justify the outrage directed beyond the perpetrator himself. I don't think it's fair to say that the acts of one man are the product of structural problems in our society.

That's not necessarily true. It's not uncommon for some delay in charges when an arrest is not made on the scene, regardless if it's a cop involved, and even when it's clear an arrest is imminent. It makes even more sense in this situation because it happened in the course of an arrest in such a way that, while it was obvious misconduct, there were clearly some questions as to what the appropriate charges would be. Unless there were a genuine concern of a danger to the community or risk of flight it would have been highly unusual for the officer to have been arrested right away.

It really shows how irrational its gotten when you're not even paying for the beer and you still get Bud Light.

That's harsh. Either this is a ploy and he's down with it to give her cover from the outrage mob or they never had anything to begin with. No woman in love bales on her man for killing a guy. Not even if it was a black guy.

Anyone else notice that the people who are quick to remind you that freedom of speech doesn't apply to private businesses when a right winger gets expelled from social media for controversial comments are the same people who are outraged when a private business doesn't want it's employees conducting controversial "protests" on company time wearing the company logo?

Liberalism is the practice of adopting a good cause, making it self serving, and taking it so far past the point of reason that it becomes destructive.

Why do you hate children and puppies?

One group stood on the steps. The other burned down the city. You're an idiot.

I've been thinking along these lines as well, because while the cop used excessive force that resulted in death it seems unlikely that he actually intended to kill the guy. Under Minnesota law, however, it looks like he could be found guilty of what they call Third Degree Murder without such intent. The statute reads as follows:
