Re: Nice Planet #8: You People Make Me Sick.

Never understood the need to cap at 1000 as I think this is the only place I know that does it - weirder still that mod is playing ketsup to enforce said rule.

IIRC the reason was the old board software started to struggle with threads over 1000 posts.
 
Re: Nice Planet #8: You People Make Me Sick.

I would argue she still has one foot firmly in the denial camp.

It sucks and I absolutely cannot even begin to know what she's dealing with but someone around her needs to help her come back to reality. Her son was caught on video robbing a store and then he fought with a cop and got shot because of that.

Then again, if it was my kid, I'd probably have a brutal time coming to grips with that.

But now she's a martyr. The media cover her every utterance. She's got new duds. Surf and turf at expensive restaurants. Trips to Europe. Staying in first class hotels. Addressing UN committees. She's somebody. For reference, see Trayvon's parents.

The "robbery" that the store clerk never even bothered to mention until after Michael Brown was killed and the cops came to them.

Exactly, the "robbery" as you like to term it, that was caught on camera.

His death is unrelated to the strong arm robbery, but it does show a pattern of behavior that his mother is ignoring, claiming her son to be something near sainthood.

DB resources, more likely.

She's nothing more than the latest "victim" being used by the race-hustlers.

If the convenience store didn't even call the police about it then it probably wasn't as serious as the police are making it out to be. I also wonder if it was mostly a misunderstanding over the expired license and then both sides overreacted (guy tries to accost Brown and lays hands on him, gets shoved).

Yes, it's clearly a misunderstanding. Brown thought the cigars were free or him and his buddy, but the store clerk told him otherwise. To which, Brown responds by then manhandling the clerk and still leaving with his liberated cigars (not stolen, clearly :rolleyes: ).

Not every robbery is reported, not even in white suburbia. Unless there's a weapon involved or large amounts of cash stolen, the police rarely do anything outside of Mayberry. Why bother calling them?
 
Re: Nice Planet #8: You People Make Me Sick.

Yeah except they had him on video and the police clearly would be able to do something in this case. If they even felt like reporting it.

And how do you know he didn't pay for them? You can't see the other side of the counter due to the camera placement.

Edit: I also like how the pattern of behavior logic only applies to Brown and not Wilson
