I know someone who went to the shooting memorial vigil at Grove Church. He said that Pope Peabrain held a calm protest inside the church with a placard saying "Christianity - 2000 Years of Stupidity." I didn't believe the dude, and told him that Pope Peabrain only has those kind of balls writing on a blog.
@1 I would love to read more about the history of actual gun control legislation in Washington state including specific dates and your critique of the efficacy of each law during its enacted period.
Wow, I actually thought he conducted a pretty great interview. Though going into details about your sex life as part of your PR defense can't be a good sign. Hope they don't cancel the program. Public radio has lost so many good shows recently, it'd suck if they lost another.
1 black youth killed by a cop? Yes, it is outrageous and yes, it is horrible and yes, we need serious police reforms in this country. Don't get me wrong.
But why all the marches over one black youth killed by a cop but when hundreds of black youth are killed by black youth the reaction is crickets in the background?
@17 "but when hundreds of black youth are killed by black youth [...]"
I can't believe you are still trotting out this stupid, tired talking point.
First off, it is ridiculous on its face; the system does a "great" job of punishing black youth, leaving no reason to march for "justice".
Further, it is also incorrect, as many do march for social justice, in order to resolve many of the factors that that contribute to that somewhat hyperbolic "statistic".
No doubt doubling down on the failed gun control policies of the past will work this time.
Right?
Doesn't Slog care about black murder victims?
Hypocrites.
Guess you over looked it when you were researching the canoe story.

Clearly there needs to be a law about gross stupidity.

Ha! Good riddance. The sound of his smug, self-satisfied voice should have been enough reason for termination.

Very good point. I found this video about the Trevyon Martin media circus and you reminded me of it. Why is this man's wisdom ignored?

totally.
and what about it turning out the thug in Fergeson assaulted the police officer before being gunned down like the raging animal he was?
Liberals will be apologizing for their racist assumptions and false accusations for months to come.
so you are OK with the mass slaughter of black men by other black men, as long as the killers go to jail?
thats pretty cold.....
how many posts by Slog outraged about black on black murder?
how many marches in Seattle?
how much coverage on MSNBC?
black on black murder gets 1/1000th the attention of open episode where a black criminal assaults a police officer as happened in Ferguson.
why do Liberals place no value on the lives of black men slaughtered by other black men?
