“He does not at all mention anything about terrorism, nor does he mention anything about hate," Manley said. "But, instead, it is the outcry of a very challenged young man talking about challenges in his personal life that led him to this point."

I read that the kid described himself as a “psychopath.” It sounds like he was mad at the world and wanted to blow people up.

IF the media and the police and the justice system showed 1% of this empathy towards criminals of the non-white persuasion, I actually wouldn't be angry about their word choice.

But the fact of the matter is only white criminals are given the benefit of the doubt while non-white criminals are summarily judged as monsters or animals.

The only ones who get it easier than white male criminals are white female criminals.

That is some impressive virtue signaling. Your goodness is now apparent to all but the most deplorable.

How backward.
I was replying to one of your liberal friends who implied home-schooled kids were nothing but a bunch of slack-jawed idiots because they didn't get a proper public school indoctrination. He also said "graduating from college did not make one smart..." If graduating from college doesn't make you smart, like he implied, why the h-ll all the fuss from liberals about giving them a dose of college indoctrination for free?

You and I must live in a different America.


The one I live in the NAACP and ACLU won't even allow my local news stations to describe race of perpetrators of violent crime here (likely without a lawsuit from above-mentioned clown-outfits.)

That's because you are sane, we don't think like the insane/chemically imbalanced/brain damaged/whatever do.
