She’s pretty.
I was contracted to do some work in the Champaign area years back for a company that also hired a few High school students for the basic assembly work so I ended up overhearing a lot of school gossip from the two assigned to my area, and we conversed about education issues since our work was often for schools, parks and museums.
They told me their ‘school had gone crazy’ in that the ‘coolest’ thing to be was to act queer even if you weren’t. They said their cheerleaders would try to out-gay each other and the most desirable clique in school was decidedly effeminate. There was a gay man working with us who was anything but effeminate at least in public...the only gay person I’d ever worked with and only the 3rd gay person I had ever met in my life. Yet the way these high school kids were talking, the social pressure to act queer in school was affecting more than a THIRD of all students.
I never could get an answer on what was pushing this fad; they didn’t seem to know. But it was the strangest thing and the opposite of my high school experience where being accused of being gay was one of the most insulting and humiliating things that could happen.
He forgot his ear rings.
Perfect reply for a Friday afternoon.
Hope you have a great weekend.
All very good questions. Even if it was ‘hate,’ why is burning the flag not a hate crime but making a ‘noose’ is? The only difference I can see is someone could claim making a noose is a ‘threat’ gesture, but how does one determine it was a threat in the absence of any evidence of intent? The people making hate crimes out of every rope probably could not discern the difference between a genuine hangman’s noose knot and the sort of knot used by cowboys to make a lariat, which is not a threatening item by any measure unless you are a calf. Are we really to the point now that if a white person needs a rope for any purpose they must find and hire a black person to tie it in order to avoid accusation?
Ridiculous.
My first question, on seeing the photo before “It’s” name was
“Is it a girl or a guy?”
Not the sharpest hammer in the drawer...
Whete’s The Brylcreem, “Not this sit again,” guy?
Old Testament methods for dealing with stupid sh1t looking pretty good now, aren’t they...
Probably wasn’t even a proper noose, it’s not an easy knot to tie.
Calling this a “hate crime” is as stupid as saying that if you don’t believe in AGW then you have committed a hate crime.
Whatever happened to free speech?
If I were on the jury I would find this creep guilty just because he’s mentally ill and it may be the only way to keep him off the street. But leaving a piece of rope in an elevator is not a hate crime. It’s not a crime at all.
If his lawyer is within shouting distance of competent, he'll win at trial or get it tossed. But it'll cost a bucket of money.
Is he having a lopadikoffme or having an adadicktome operation? Or is he just a nutcase f@gg0t?

A. It’s a college campus.
B. It’s Illinois
It’s a assault on tolerance & diversity. So it’s attempted murder. Or manslaughter.
If you keep those facts in mind, it starts to make sense.
