Okay, there is something very fucking wrong with this country when this shit happens (and has it happened elsewhere but gone unreported?):
Was he that afraid to ask for help for his addiction?
This guy needs to go around the country and LECTURE. It’s not all other-than-white-thief-rocker-homeless folks that get addicted to that shit.
I expect it’s the same reason teachers in abusive home situations are afraid to go to a shelter. You’re supposed to be a role model. Having problems, even admitting you might have a problem, can easily be a quick way to get fired. Not directly for the problem, of course – they’ll find something else they can’t be sued for.
I didn’t expect it to be this blatant.
Next up. Just wear this nice little yellow star.
But Trump isn’t antisemitic! His grandchildren are Jewish! He has an illegal settlement in the Golan Heights named after him! Bibi LOVES him! The Israeli right loves him! He’s been to the Western Wall! He hates IRAN! He has Jewish lawyers and friends!!! /s
JFC…
The CV for the lawyer representing George Zimmerman.
It makes for some interesting reading.
Some problematic language, but perspective on our social problems:
Powerful, although a little victim blamey. The people at the bottom of the pile have been miseducated (and/or effectively abused) to take on the wrong values.
It would be interesting to see how Trumpites would react if it said Senator or Secretary of State Hillary Clinton instead of President. Would anything tip them off, or would they start foaming at the mouth instantly?
Gotta say, as someone who has been mistaken for Italian, Irish, Jewish, French-Canadian, French, Scottish, Swedish, Middle Eastern, Canadian Indigenous, Indian (ie from India), and German just based on looks, people like that terrify me especially.
Yes my list makes no sense. Neither did all the jerks trying to pin me to one of this ethnicities.
how… any one or two of the list I could understand… but all of that? WTF?
Some people are just ambiracist?
It’s not me, it’s them. And a lot of that list comes from when I lived in what was then Canada’s whitest city (a study result made the press shortly after I moved there). It’s a very insular, isolated place, and back then most people were not just white but WASP, and they did not get out much. And… there’s a lot of weirdos there. Lots and lots.
