White people trying to care...

Action doesn't start with empty gestures that only give you warm and fuzzy feelings.

Exactly, Heps. And that vigil came at the beginning of the school year. Like minds coming together in a parking lot.

Just WHERE do you think action starts, Fins? From a cloud?


Sometimes people get together to discuss issues of common interest.....especially in college towns.

Here's the thing about Brown's jeuvie records, if they matter, then so should records from officer Wilson's past.

Like this one little tidbit..

Their "empty gesture" caused you to make this thread. The ensuing conversation may result in more people willing to act on their beliefs.

Nice attempt to try to spin it. But let's be realistic. Empty gestures aren't going to motivate anyone to take real action. Seeing others take real action motivates people to take real action.

You have done it this time Fins, I think you hurt some peeps feelings.

....My comments were on empty gestures that do nothing but make you feel warm and fuzzy because you convinced yourself you care.

It didn't take me 3 hours to find anything. (I still didn't post a link for you did I). I took a nap, did some other things, all in all, didn't worry about you.

What you are incapable of comprehending is that I haven't defended the cops in this case. I also haven't commented on the thug that got shot (his record does prove he is a thug). My comments were on empty gestures that do nothing but make you feel warm and fuzzy because you convinced yourself you care.

Oh but he is dead and his record will be opened for all the see his second degree murder.

I just can't think of anything wrong or laughable about white people trying to care.

Gillian

Posted 6:30 pm, 08/24/2014

None of that would be relevant, justcause. The conflict that led to his death started because he was walking in the street.

And GotNews is trying to make a name for itself in the midst of this mess, too.

FWIW, the search option does work correctly. The only issue with with the "sort by date" option, which only sorts the current page.

By default, it sorts by "Relevance", which works perfectly fine.

Did it take you three hours to find that thread? What does it prove about you?

I find it telling how police aren't heroes to you in 2013, but now, after a teenager is left lying in the street for four hours, you make fun of a couple of students who hold a candlelight vigil in his honor.

Go look at the Threads about the Barney's and the hose jockeys, ****

Fins

Posted 5:18 pm, 08/24/2014

So that's your problem? You think my tone is different with some? You are like a spoiled child. "That's not fair. Whaaaaaa!"

Gillian

Posted 2:28 pm, 08/24/2014

Nah, Fins. I had a productive five minutes of searching. Your tone toward conservatives is entirely different, which is what I stated, and you disputed. You're a liar. End of story.

Freedom of speech and freedom of assembly don't have to be smart, productive or popular. They just have to be allowed. And this thread clearly demonstrates how freedom of speech can be abused. It seems that both extremes on the issue have made up their minds without knowing the full story. PATIENCE!
