You know, it's interesting to take a look at the beginning of this thread and see all the things that were posted and later found not to be true.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You disappoint me, Brad.

I disappoint you everyday.  However, back during the Tea Party rise you were just fine with people jumping up on stage screaming at politicians.  Not so much now.

I was?

Yes.  You admired the "political theater" of the whole thing.

I think the problem with "Black Lives Matter" is that it turns into a race issue something that really shouldn't be. Police reform in much of the US is badly needed however.

According to a statistic released this week, Austrian police have fired a total of 54 shots in all of 2014. In 1995 it was five times as many. Three suspects were wounded, one killed last year. In the last 20 years, Austrian police have killed on average 2.3 people per year.

Austria has a population of ca. 8.5 million vs ca. 320 million in the US. So the equivalent of Austria's numbers in the US would be an average 86 dead suspects shot by police p.a.

There was a whole bunch of townhalls during the Obamacare fight.  Lots of screaming.  I guess it was understandable considering the big population reduction thing it was going to do by 2014.

Okay.  Continue to be vague and stuff.

What is the "it" that black lives matter suddenly makes a race issue? :huh:

Police violence.

Grabon doesn't care about white people who are victims of police violence.

So clearly that is a false statement.
