([B][URL="http://abc3340.com/news/local/4-in-custody-in-connection-with-assault-of-sylacauga-high-student-police-chief-says"]WBMA[/URL][/B]) - Four black men are facing assault charges in connection with the beating of a white Alabama high school student who had posted pro-police comments online. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Sylacauga Police Chief Kelley Johnson announced Tuesday four arrests in connection with an assault of a 17-year-old last month. According to a release, two teenagers, ages 18 and 19, and two 20-year-olds were arrested on felony assault charges in connection with a Sept. 30 attack that left Brian Ogle with a fractured skull and brain trauma. Ogle's mother described the parking lot assault as a "hate crime."

Blue lives matter, cunts. If it weren't for the police, who would protect you from your house getting looted? Luke Cage? Is batman going to show up and save the day when your wife gets hit by a car? Like, there's shitty cops out there and only an idiot would pretend corruption doesn't exist, but this anti-cop mentality is so asinine its not even funny. Why even bother with someone saying blue lives matter? Just walk away, you're only proving yourself wrong.
That's absolutely monstrous. I fail to understand how someone could ever think that responding to such a trivial comment with so much malice that death was a potential outcome is ever reasonable. It's not much but I hope they feel remorse, and not just for ruining their own lives.
Is society really degrading, or is it just the headlines that make it seem so?
[QUOTE=AbbaDee;51209174]Is society really degrading, or is it just the headlines that make it seem so?[/QUOTE] Most of society is getting better, but it isn't perfect. Remember that being even slightly queer could lead to public stoning. Also, we aren't lynching blacks in the street daily any more.
people really enjoy putting the entirety of themselves into political groups

It feels like we're steering towards disaster with the rise of "social justice warriors" and repressed values of the alt-right. Just months ago there were people shooting cops at a BLM protest.

Reminds me that my mom bought our family blue lives matter wristbands to wear to show our support for the police. I feel bad for not wearing mine, but it's for this exact reason. It's kinda sad that I can't show support for police officers in public out of fear for my own safety.
call me edgy but aren't french legislative groups not the best lens through which to analyze politics?
[QUOTE=Bobie;51209230]can we please not make alt left a thing?[/QUOTE] Yeah some parts of the left are bad enough already.
That's actually pretty catchy blue lives matter.
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;51209201]Good news doesn't sell[/QUOTE] People trot this idea around as though it somehow invalidates all the negativity of the world. Good news might not sell but that doesn't mean you just get to hand wave away everything negative and ignore trends that indicate something bad is happening within society. There's definitely a rise in anti-police sentiment and racial tension in America and no clever response will negate that.

He wasn't being a dick, he was stating the reality of the press: More negative things get attention than positive things.
The corporate media is pretty much the description of Sensationalist Headlines here. News gets more informative the more outraged you are by it. So yeah, like mentioned above, good news don't sell.
Racism towards Smurfs.

[QUOTE=Arbys Watcher;51209759]oh my fucking god people are going to drag that into every discussion now aren't then In any case, that's not an appropriate joke to make in this situation, fucking hell.[/QUOTE] I dont think you're in a position to decide what is or isnt funny or appropriate joke topics. [editline]literally[/editline] That being said, i dont know if it was entirely appropriate either, but it certainly lightens up the mood.
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;51209201]Good news doesn't sell[/QUOTE] This quote is so true it hurts. Take charlotte protests for example,a peaceful protest with help even given from the police (if you want to see what i mean,this imgur album sums it up nicely [URL="https://imgur.com/gallery/X7SQZ"]https://imgur.com/gallery/X7SQZ[/URL]),but as always the media needs to make it look like a dangerous protest,so that they can get more viewers,its fucking sad that the media does this really.
blue lives matter, black lives matter, trump lives matter all lives matter, stop being such dicks, all of you. edit: and i guess theoretically Hillary lives also kinda matter edit2: the Hillary lives matter thing is a joke, ofc all lives matter.
[QUOTE=Blizzerd;51211153]blue lives matter, black lives matter, trump lives matter all lives matter, stop being such dicks, all of you. edit: and i guess theoretically Hillary lives also kinda matter[/QUOTE] "All lives matter, but perhaps Hillary lives don't." I wonder why people find the term "all lives matter" stupid. It's almost as if "black lives matter" means "black lives matter [B]too[/B]". But please, continue to dehumanise Clinton supporters.
