Concur with both of you.
Giving them the "clicks" lets them show advertisers they should pay more to appear on their site.
That is why I opt not to visit obvious clickbait.

The Airsoft replica gun, which fires the equivalent of BB pellets, was missing its orange safety cap, which is designed to indicate its status as something other than a deadly weapon.

Comply - Don't Die

When you have a whole (mostly) race who have no respect for authority of any type they are going to have issues when they come into contact with people in authority.

Two were long time thugs and one pulled a toy gun on a cop after in a very tense situation.

These problems would have been solved long ago if they were my children.

Thank you, and mine wouldn’t either. Maybe someone should tell black America to teach their children to behave in a civilized manner and not break the law.

But not racist to ascribe a certain odious tendency to an entire people who share a particular skin tone.

Maybe the answer to racist jerks like this writer is to stop referring to people as simply "white" as if polish, russian, libyan, ainu, italian, greek, icelandic, etc etc etc are a monolithic group marching in lockstep on issues of race.

He did indeed. But the “Hands up, don’t shoot” crowd and the “Black Lives Matter” idiots have LIED to blacks and have convinced them to ignore their own failures as they grandstand on the unfortunate death of a little boy who was never taught basic life skills.

Like “do not point a gun at the police.”

I think most white do think blacks are worthy of empathy. I don’t believe that most blacks feel whites are worthy of empathy.

>>After 20+ years on this site, I have watch this site go from a place where good intellectual conversation was the norm, with internet nonsense the exception, to internet nonsense the norm and intellectual discussion next to impossible to find.

In that same 20+ years, the rest of America has degenerated MUCH more than FR. In a rapidly changing society, it is insane to think that anything should stay the same for 2 decades! 20+ years ago, most people didn’t even have internet access. If they did, it was from a desktop PC with no smartphones, tablets, or mobile wifi and they were mildly affluent and somewhat educated.

No reason most whites would see Tamir Rice in their own children.

Around here teenagers do stupid teenager crap but generally aren’t dangerous or malicious. They aren’t holding up the party store or mugging our elderly neighbors. They certainly aren’t challenging the sheriff’s deputy assigned to our little town.

I agree and thanks for being honest, lucky for me the darker skinned folks in my family act like hard working Americans and shun ghetto rats, and so do I, there is no reason why I need to associate with individuals that are stupid enough to not stay away from the hood mentality, there is nothing great about it, it destroys individuals.

America’s police also somehow believe that harmless objectswhen held by a black person are transformed into lethal items such as guns and knives.

I guess I missed the part where he pulled a carrot and
pointed it at the officer.

I had a BUNCH of toy guns that were SPECIFICALLY designed to look real when I was a kid. ALL we did was run around and point them at each other.

Amazingly, no crime was being committed and no one got shot.

We’ve become a country of hoplophobes.
