When was the last time race relations were this bad?

When has everybody's relations been this bad? When have the relations between Republicans and Democrats been this bad? When have class relations been this bad?

Everybody is losing their damn minds. I am not sure why.

The internet.  I'm sure we'll moderate at some point.  Might take a couple decades, but it will eventually happen.

 Given that the black community is absolutely right about the perceived police brutality and oppression they face, and is itself a violent community by nature, I am surprised this isn't more common than it is.

Unfortunately, this will do nothing at all to advance the dialogue of proper consequences for murderous police. It doesn't seem like this will get better.
It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

So the footage I saw of a suspect in camo pants being arrested was not one of the two suspects.  Both fuckers are at large, with only one of them (the shithead smiling in the pic others have posted) having been sort of identified.

not him



this, plus the guy's brother called in and was adamant that the pictured guy wasn't involved. said his brother was "exercising his second amendment rights" and gave up his gun to police after the shooting started.

Looked like he was wearing a ballistic vest.

You managed, once again, to offend 100% of Languish in one sentence.  Congrats.  Seriously.

Yeah, he looked guilty.  But I guess most guys in handcuffs do :P

The camo shirt guy turned himself in, Lacroix.  Never mind.
