Did he have Skittles? They're the dangerous ones.

Other than me not being a gun nutcase.

So we cannot, I say Cannot compare this to Any other event.

but I bed she'd kick your ass instead.

is not a dangerous person

Walking down the street isn't a crime.

people don't consider blacks have the same rights and live in fear because of race that somehow they will get the upper hand not considering black people are just like the rest of us no matter what race.. If anything that will destroy the security of this country it is fear itself. People fear the government is turning fascist, fear that rights guaranteed under the Constitution are being diminished etc. Fears ingulfing their very lives beyond reason and loss of faith and fear that our leadership is bent on changing our democracy.

(although I'm not a neighborhood watcher)

and defensive, because that's a pretty predictable reaction to being chased. Just FYI.

although I said that years ago and was called out for it;
and I realized it was bullshit, of course I see race.

I don't care what race people are, that's different
than not seeing. I do my best to avoid putting
anybody in a box for any reason at all -- but I'm
also aware there is a lot of programming in my
brain that still pops up, that is race-related.

i absolutely see race...i just don't care.

which is most likely, as with most teenagers, him just holding his needlessly baggy pants up?

if so, shoot him

Definitely standing on my ground.

I was thinking of changing my own vote based on yours.

Might be bad news for the next teenage kid I spot.















...kidding.

Is he nuts or are you hallucinating?

( ;

I live 100yds from the main road. So he had to climb a 5 strand barbwire fence to get there.

And yes I would be armed, concealed. Don't want to frighten him.

But I suspect that was your point.

then put them back under him if you end up shooting him?

that would be my guess

If he is found not guilty.
All the pot stirring is getting crazy

"All the pot stirring is getting crazy..."

I've found that for the most part, those who accuse others of that are actually stirring with as much passion too-- simply in the opposite direction, as they fantasize over self-fulfilling prophecies.

Crazy, indeed.

It's too hot for a hoodie.

I guess we won't be having any shootings around here. I just wish they'd pull their damn pants up. Plaid boxer shorts are NOT attractive.

I find it funny who is protesting this poll.

I think the kid may be on something.

Clearly I should have acted.

Geez people, why is everyone just standing there, afraid to talk to this kid and help him with his health choices?

We need to preserve the American way of life.

The hoodie and the soda were scary enough.

Maybe REECES PIECES work better....It worked for ET: The Extraterrestrial

"call him in and tell him to clean his room!"

and so on. Might be more fun that way. Matter of taste.
