Meth really allowing dudes in here to blatantly attempt to rustle jimmies in a thread like this?...dude would send me a warning over the most petty things, but allows this blatant trollin...I don't get it
Oneilmatt insulted me multiple times for no reason, and when I called him a Neo Nazi in response he reported me and I got warned
Report the insults. Anyone who breaks the rules will be removed from the thread.
The users who try to deflect with this "black on black crime" smoke and mirrors nonsense are getting tossed left and right.
Personally, I think there's no possible excuse for ANY of this - the initial killing, the victim-blame, the "blue wall," the grotesque show of force against demonstrators.... all of it. It's indefensible. If someone wants to
try to defend it, however, they're permitted to do so as long as it's done within the rules. Preventing them from doing so is, in a way, bailing them out. It feeds into this narrative being churned out by Fox et al. that Darren Wilson is being "railroaded" and the media are stifling dissent.

Hey meth why don't you promote this and put a banner at the top of the page in regards to this, like when the tsunami happen overseas
We featured it on the front page moments after the announcement went up. I would love it if more people would become interested in the EJI's essential work as a result of our contribution, but I also don't want to come across as though we're thumping our chests over the donation. I'd love to have given more - and I look forward to our next opportunity to do so. For the time being however, we simply did what we felt was right.
There are no sidelines with this issue. If you're indifferent, you're enabling the perpetuation of the status quo. We should hold organizations accountable in the same way. To remain silent is to remain complicit.
