People were mainly thinking about justice for the black guy who was brutally murdered by the white cop. Public safety was the concern that prompted forbearance on the part of riot police.
Did Democrat politicians play it for all it was worth? Probably. I don't see how you'd identity that as the basis for anything. That's just what smart politicians do. — frank
That's what bothers me. That you don't even worry that the justice system is run by the politicians. — unenlightened
That wasn't due to a lack of interest in law enforcement. They were trying to avoid making the protesters more violent. — frank
don't know what you're trying to say here. Is there evidence that some Democrat politician committed a crime and that some Democrat district attorney refused to prosecute them because they are a fellow Democrat, and that "the left" are okay with this? — Michael
assume they believe that there is a good chance of conviction, and that the consequences are that a criminal is punished for his crimes. — Michael
Either apply the law equally to all offenders or get rid of the law. Why should Trump be given special treatment just because he's a former President? It may be politically expedient, but the fair application of the law shouldn't be politically motivated. — Michael
I expect Hanover is consistent btw and would criticize Republicans for shooting themselves in the foot if Clinton were indicted in a red state. It's the way things are looked at over there. — Baden
Who said there is nothing for them to go into? There is, and that is precisely why the axe becomes the hammer. — Ø implies everything
If there are no trees to cut, but instead, only nails bereft of a wooden embrace; is the axe a chopper or a hammer? — Ø implies everything

Those sound like some huge legs. — Noble Dust
A koan is like a joke but it's not funny. A lot of Hanover's posts might be considered koans. — T Clark
, you get paid to be a moderator here? That's amazing, especially given that there are no ads. — Ø implies everything
I also have more problems with my teeth and gums than I had expected, after many decades of strong healthy teeth. It's just disappointing. — Jamal

As someone who finds sports gruesomely boring, and given the tradition of forcing sport upon men as necessary part of masculinity which is then later self-imposed by the men later, I think the allusion to self-flagellation made my spanking joke quite fitting. — Ø implies everything
Fred your dog or your son? I can't remember. — Noble Dust
At the aforementioned water mill, I was given a 0.22 rifle and a huge amount of ammunition and was asked to deal with the coypus, otherwise known as nutria, a very large South American rodent not much smaller than the capybara. Coypus were taken to Europe and released by one of those idoitic Victorian explorer buffoons. — Jamal
All that he does will be impossible for me. I like eating meat, but hunting the animals—wow, I would be scared and probably end up being eaten by a bear. — javi2541997
Meal: Rice soup with leeks, serrano ham, spring onion and laurel.
No bread this time. — javi2541997
The heaviest, plumpest, sweetest kind. — Jamal
I hate to break it to you, but not everyone is Jewish. Can I say that? :yikes: — Noble Dust
I’m wondering what’s special about the weekend that you need more sustenance than at other times. — Jamal
By the way, I'm a bit hangry. I have a chicken sandwich being delivered, but I just began a three day weekend, and I require sustenance. — Noble Dust
Mwahahaha! — Ø implies everything
Just got home and began my one week of free days (I work shifts — Ø implies everything
I will happily drink a Budweiser or Modelo out of whatever container. These days 24oz cans seem to be the new norm at ballparks. — Noble Dust
And the overpriced shitty beers are on me. — Noble Dust
Great! The hot dogs are on me. — Jamal
There was a cat. The rats didn't give a shit. — Jamal
That was my favourite bit. It made me think of eggs as rockets. — Jamal
