Ferguson / Staten Island Decisions -- No Indictments

Re: Ferguson Decision -- No Indictment

About the same size? Are you f**king dense? Brown had an 82 pound size advantage. 82 pounds! That's a huge size advantage.
But, no, let's pretend that this is exclusively about race so that it fits your "Whites are evil" argument you've spent a couple of pages trying to advance.

 

Re: Ferguson Decision -- No Indictment

Poor white people. So oppressed, so beset upon.

 

Re: Ferguson Decision -- No Indictment

Thank God you don't work for the UFC and aren't determining fights.
"Hey, look, I don't care if Chris Weidman is 185 and Brock Lesnar is 286 pounds. Weidman is 6' 2'' and Lesnar is 6' 3''. It's pretty much the same size.

 

Re: Ferguson Decision -- No Indictment

That is why you fail.

Ok, that isn't the only reason you fail, but I just saw a really good fake trailer for the next Star Wars movie, so I had to go there. That's the level of seriousness your responses deserve at this point.

You are going into this with a set of assumptions and desperately trying to make the facts fit those assumptions. It's okay, Rick. You have a tremendous amount of company in that respect on both sides of the argument on this one.

 

Re: Ferguson Decision -- No Indictment

Two guys of the same size, one guy is a fat kid, the other guy is well-trained. The size advantage is practically irrelevant.

Edit: My mistake, I meant to type "same *height*" the first time.

 

Re: Ferguson Decision -- No Indictment

I think you may recall when this first came out that I was quite sympathetic to Wilson's case. His testimony flipped me.

Wilson's actions might not have been influenced by race in the same way synthetic testosterone might have spontaneously generated in Ryan Braun's urine.

 

Re: Ferguson Decision -- No Indictment

If Rick were on the grand jury, he would have shown up on the first day, listened to six minutes of testimony and voted to indict Wilson because "Clearly, from what I've read on Twitter, Wilson was patrolling the area looking to shoot black people. He conspired with the cigar company to make their product so difficult for black men to resist, conspired with the shop owner to make Brown rob him (After all, how else would he have had a tape?), then waited for the call that it was go-time, drove to Brown and his friend, yelled the N-word at them repeatedly, almost ran Brown over, pulled Brown into his car, punched Brown's fists with his face repeatedly, then shot Brown in the back while he was running away, walked over to him as he lie in the street gasping for breath and shot him in the head 42 times to make sure he was dead. Then he took the bullets out of Brown's back, conspired with the medical examiner to alter the body, conspired with the prosecution to make the charges go away and did it all because he's white and we know all white people are inherently racist and love nothing more than to kill black people. Guilty as charged. Next!!!!"

 

Re: Ferguson Decision -- No Indictment

You probably shouldn't be commenting on this if you aren't aware of what a grand jury can and cannot do.

They cannot find someone guilty. Are you quite certain that you know what an indictment is?

You may want to consider the possibility that you are too ignorant on this subject to have a worthwhile opinion after this incident.

 

Re: Ferguson Decision -- No Indictment

Really? Really? I don't even know why I bother engaging you here. Clearly you're trolling this board and violently masturbating to videos from the 60s showing white people spraying black people with hoses and enforcing Jim Crow laws. There is no reasoning with you.

 

Re: Ferguson Decision -- No Indictment

That's the point of my ENTIRE rant. I'm sorry. My blue font is broken.

 

Re: Ferguson Decision -- No Indictment

What "reason"? You've brought nothing but hysterical indignance.

"OMG, Rick acknowledged the inherent racism of our culture! He must hate white people!"

 

Re: Ferguson Decision -- No Indictment

And now Rick starts attacking the poster because he knows he's losing the argument.

One, you completely missed the boat on that argument, but again, you let your biases drive you that time as well. That is why I dismantled Sunshine's trolling dig at both of us, because he clearly missed the most important distinction. When the facts don't clearly explain things, you are more than happy to imagine the rest and present it as fact and I am not.

Even the flawed evidence in the Braun argument was far more compelling than the case you are making here. If you want to say that you believe race was involved, that would be reasonable. Saying that there is no doubt is not at all reasonable.

I'll have to remember this the next time you try to argue that things don't exist if they cannot be statistically proven, so we can see how happy you are to abandon that position when it suits you.
