What are they getting away with while we all debate Tookie?

:tinfoilhat:

This sure is one hell of a distraction for some folks who need one, ain't it?

Could it at all be possible that this is just being used as another on of those "hey, look over there..." moments?

Could it be that we and the press are being played like fucking fiddles?

This is all we've been hearing in the news for nearly a week now, it's been 24-7 Tookie-Time both here and in the media.

I think it's a worthwhile debate to be having, but what the fuck are they getting away with now that the country's collective eyes are off of them?

Has anyone been watching the store while this has all been going on?

I sure haven't.

I didn't know that, and for that I am sad and sorry.

We have to keep the heat on the fuckers who have stolen our country. We need to focus on getting it back.
