On the one hand, gun violence is bad.
On the other hand, ACAB.
Sigh. If only people had more rights than guns in this country and we could use this as a reason to actually give even a tenth of a shit about gun control.
- Unfortunately, people of color can never give an inch on "gun control," if we do, that will certainly end catastrophically for us. Many have been swayed by the emotional argument, but the reality is that the source of the majority of gun control has been intended to disarm minorities and subject us to white terrorists that aren't held accountable to the same laws. Though I'm not a proponent of violence, I will violently defend my right to arms, because without it, the whites will not be held to account by the same laws, and will come to eradicate me and mines.
  
  ...Aided and abetted by the police, who are also conveniently except from nearly all gun restrictions and legislation. No points for anyone guessing that the favorite target of the police is also (predominantly black) minorities. Neither of these details are a coincidence.
  
  If you think that legally owning a couple assault rifles gives you a chance against people in full body armor with armored vehicles and the support of the military then I have a sweet deal on a bridge for you.
  So maybe don't use systemic racism as a defense for your fetishes. It is a truly disgusting thing to do
Officers in La Vergne, a city about 20 miles southeast of Nashville, were investigating a stolen vehicle outside the store Saturday afternoon when they sruggled with the suspect
Do they not even run this shit through Grammarly first or anything?
- That would take precious time, and the staff editor probably has like 30 other articles to write that day
- The last editor died around 2002. All writers are free-range now.
That's not cool, Butters. You don't shoot someone in the dick.
estranged son*
The police chief issued a statement Saturday confirming his son was the suspect in the shooting. Drake said they were estranged and over many years he has had only minimal contact with his son. The younger Drake is a convicted felon who “resorted to years of criminal activity,” he said.
- There is nothing factually incorrect or even remotely misleading about the headline as written.
  
  Agreed, it's almost as though you get more of the story if, you know, you RTFA.
  
  Including elements that aren't necessary, but more sensational, is quite misleading. Including facts as to who his father is, isn't pertinent.
- Reminding us about the likelihood of domestic abuse?
