Another casualty of the culture wars. Fully fixated on the dangled shiny objects that have nothing to do with the fact that those in power no longer, in any way, shape, or form represent the average citizen. It's something to mourn, but not unexpected in the least.

I also don't care for the spilling over of this bullshit in GD, but I guess we're getting old now and some can't resist turning into our parents.

Great, let's talk about them. Go on...
Nice. Ok go for it.
Sure!

Who are they?
I know exactly how I would answer this / explain who they are. In like 15 words or less

I would love to see how you describe them / explain who they are first though. Spend 10 minutes max googling them, come back and post with spoiler tag. I won’t read yours. I will post mine at that point, then read your spoilered answer, and we can compare.
Homie, I literally don't know who they are or what you're taking about. I'm trying to talk to you about it and you're being really evasive and cagey as shit.

You definitely should know.
Good talk.

Fair enough re: GD. I don’t really even notice because I use View Active Topics.

Anyway, some people don’t wanna take a couple minutes to learn more about the topic, fine.

Epilogue should google it, but since he's not, you should explain it (since you brought it up and are asking for discussion.)

Thoughts?

I’d say more forcing the discussion than asking for it :bammer:

I'll complete your exercise if you give a statement on Renee Good's death. Please review the body cam footage and tell us if the cop acted right.
They were both wrong, he should have dodged away, not fired his gun.

Complete my exercise.
Obviously what happened to these two women was tragic and in both cases their attackers probably should have been in jail before these incidents occurred.

Bammer really took epilogue's weird question in a weird direction.

Self is incorrect. This is pretty standard GD content.

What was Epilogue's weird question? From what I could see Bammer was begging the question and Epilogue was sort of genius in asking him to make his own assertions.

Let’s see if we can get this thread to page three with no explanation of who these people are.

Two women who were injured and/or killed by people who had previous contact with the justice system, but were still on the street due to various limits put on law enforcement by the US Constitution.




Sorry, that DID take me more than 15 words, but I kept it to a single [possibly run-on] sentence.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

The first couple of pages were originally in GD, prompted by this question.

Not so much a weird question. More of a weirdly worded one, as you noted a few posts in.

The Ukrainian lady was killed here in NC so it’s been all over the news. What kind of gotcha are you trying to do bammer? She was killed by a private citizen, not a member of the sitting president’s private police force. Of course it will get less news coverage. Dick Putty down the street from me was killed the other day. Please tell me about him and why there was no news coverage?

Why do we need a whole thread about a stupid Trump arguing point that got repeated ad nauseum? Merge this shit with some other relevant thread

Thank you for clarifying.

I feel like this topic having moved from GD to News & Debate has really thrown me off.

Spiritually I was writing those posts as if they were intended for GD.

In this forum the discussion makes no sense.
