In fairness, you need to hear both sides of a story before making up your mind
So, he was in his car and 2 black guys attacked him“Deja vu from Amy Cooper. Watch as this man who pulled out a bow on protestors lies all over @fox13 news in SLC.

I found this facebook post which has gone viral quite though-provoking.
Basically a black man who always makes sure to have one of his daughters with him 'for protection' when he goes for a walk.
As without them he changes from 'father taking kids for walk' into '6 foot tall, tough looking black man in mask walking through affluent neighbourhood'.

I see Damian Thorn is continuing to unite America. .
I understand racism come from fear to some degree . I cant possibly see how even the most pig ignorant KKK kunt GRand Wizardcan actually believe they are superior in any way other than privilege. A privilege they earn from skin pigment???. It's something I've never understood . If anything they should feel guilty for the horrific history their kind has inflicted on their fellow man. Even the master race devil himself saw Jesse Owen's display a humble display of supremacy. That must have clogged his craw.
I'm sun/heat ranting. Ignore.

The black book was done months ago and the civil suit related to the accusations was well reported on at the time. Maybe more detailed now?

Walked the canal towpath from Castleknock to Maynooth this afternoon, pretty incredible that you can do such a journey without having to go near a road. Apparently it continues on in the same way to Longford. Bit of a hidden gem (well, I'd never known about it anyway)
Would definitely recommend as something to do for D15s either walking a few sections or cycling a longer stretch. Maybe skip the Castleknock to Clonsilla section if cycling or with toddlers, its the only slightly dangerous part where the path is single file with a big drop.

I seem to mislaid all forms of summer headgear except a cap that has this logo on it:
LoveAusPrawns_HorizontalCMYK-transparent-300x97.png
I feel this, combined with my lengthening hair and deepening tan, gives me somewhat of a buccaneering look.
I think the most interesting thing about this cap is not that it is declarative ("I love Australian prawns!") but rather takes the form of an order or commandment ("love Australian prawns, saith The Lord, or at least Bob Hawke"). It also piques my curiosity as to where the fuck I acquired this fine headpiece.

Was just starting to enjoy wasting time playing poker again when it kicks you square in the nuts twice in less than 2 minutes with a couple of runner-runner flushes
Does that count as a vent?

If you must vent about poker bad beats I'm sure there are internet sites
out there somewhere which were intended for just such a purpose.

That's a beautiful piece of meat and a nice smoke ring too. Picanha is a fantastic cut and great value imo, just a pity its not widely available here. I had pork picanha on my last night in Brazil which was quite a treat.
Do you have an electric rotisserie for when you skewer the steaks?

For a start, 3rd Degree Murder is a max of 25 years, with the guideline being 12.5years.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ates#Minnesota
I'd probably ask her what the difference is between 1st and 3rd Degree murder. Why she thinks it should be 1st Degree murder, etc. Get to to think through her reasoning.
I've seen a lot of outrage about the 3rd degree charge, but I kinda assume they don't really understand that it means and it's faux outrage that he's getting off with a lessor charge.
It wasn't premeditated. It was hardly intentional with camera in his face. Fairly clear cut imo.

I think the fact that he stayed on his neck when pleaded with to get off and even after he was out cold adds to it. We're past the stage where he's not intending to do serious damage to the victim.

Just had two boys calling to the house looking for teenage daughter. That's a first.
Thankfully she was not in, so I got their names and warned them they would be killed slowly and painfully if they ever returned."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

1st degree : planned and premeditated intent to kill.
2nd degree : instantaneous intent to kill
3rd Degree : intent to hurt, not to kill, but killed in process.
My very basic understanding of it.
This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

Do you think he intentional remained kneeling on his neck in order to kill him. Not to hurt him, to injure him, without regard. Specifically, to maliciously end his life, on purpose, while people watched and recorded it.
