@HotepJesus People often see the wrong problems in terrible events. The problem isn’t Sihks or knives or foreigners. It’s the callous cruel reaction of the police to a kid bleeding out on the pavement and their near deference to the assailant, because they didn’t want to look racist.
@ingelramdecoucy His entire grift is telling one group of people that they’re intellectually and morally superior to another group. The identities of the groups change. The grift doesn’t.
@HotepJesus In the UK, there are strict reporting bans prior to the start of a trial. These are known as contempt laws. They’re designed to prevent pre-biasing a jury. In the US, we consider it unconstitutional to prevent the media from talking about a case prior to trial.
@RMBee This issue isn’t Sikhism, knives, or foreigners. It was the police reaction and what it says about where we are. They walked up, saw the racial difference, and said, “How can we not appear racist?” It was their foremost concern.
@MaryAnnreports He’s not wrong. The statute only mentions location-restricted knives, which are all knives over 5.5 inches. Even if the school has a zero tolerance policy, if the knife is under 5.5 inches, it’s not a felony.
@japan_nobunaga What if I told you, if you changed your gun laws tomorrow and the government distributed a Glock to every citizen, nothing would change in how you handle conflicts?
@metroadlib You see petty theft. This guy sees his livelihood. This is how he supports generations of his family. It’s not just one person stealing. When do you say enough is enough?
@cartierfamilyZ Because the real white privilege is the ability to express thoughts and beliefs that run counter to white orthodoxy without having your racial identity questioned.
@Q8Hashm@NiqabNancy I never said “backward.” I said “lags.” I guess that’s a difference between me and you. I view God as omnipotent. He works through the institutions of man to carry out His will. Now, why would God will Christendom to be so far ahead of the Islamic world?
@Q8Hashm@NiqabNancy And the vast majority of scientific innovation and advancement has come from majority Christian Europe. Again, your scientific and social advancement lags substantially behind the West. Where’s your proof?
