    What is 1 of 3? 1/3
    What percentage of 50 is 1? 2%

    If you want to insult someone's intelligence and least say something intelligent to back you up.

    I believe it is false because you can't give a damn thing to back yourself up. Zilch. If you can't back up your own position then we are obliged to disregard it as pomposity trying to cover ignorance.
    Just like your NRA member bullsheet. The NRA does not have a public membership list. So for all you or anyone else knows ALL home invasions are committed by NRA members and you can't prove otherwise.

    So a black kid knocks on a white person's door and “Then she started yelling at me and she was like ‘why are you trying to break into my house,'” Walker told the station. “Then the guy came downstairs and he grabbed the gun. I saw it and started to run. And that’s when I heard the gunshot.”

    Soooooo. . . .the guy with the gun fired the gun in the house? The woman of the house freaked out when she saw a black kid and screamed about him breaking into her house? Yyyyyyeah. Sounds legit.

    Dude was probably skipping school, bored, and looking for a scene to make so he stopped for directions and actually got them so he had to make up a story. He wants a protest and free soy latte from Starbucks, too. I mean, if people are stupid enough to think two real estate brokers are out and about in their hoodies and unprofessional crap clothes, why wouldn't they believe this guy was just an innocent freshman looking for directions to his high school?

    I might get lost on a four-mile walk to school if I typically rode the bus, and I’ve had bad days when I’d forgotten my phone and missed a ride.

    It’s not that crazy.

    That's an oxymoron in at least 95% of the country.

    That's gangster for "I have to brag about being a badass and will shoot AT you"

    But we all know that if you have to brag about it, it's not true. He'd probably miss you with every shot so that's one war I'd never fret over.

    No, it really isn’t, though. Yes, typically, even today, we’ve got all our **** together and we accomplish our daily rituals without incident. But even years ago, people ****ed up their **** once in a while and had to piece together a Plan B. It’s certainly not a crime in and of itself, although it’s not looking very good for the homeowner. I tend to have less sympathy, however, for overzealous gun-owners. They—by their own admission—need to show great responsibility in how they use their firearms.

    White privilege is never having to fear asking for directions

    Sure, why not. Both of those sound as retarded as the other. How sure are you that he was even "almost killed" as it states?

    Come on, man... Black kid knocks on door, white woman opens the door and yells out "Why are you trying to break into my house!", man comes down stairs and grabs a shotgun, black kid runs and hears a gunshot.

    I don't know man, sounds just like some "Micheal was on his knees begging Office Wilson not to shoot him" bullshit.

    None of this story adds up.

    Their vision of the future is 20/200. Legally blind, in other words.

    Or saying "thanks officer." Or celebrating Father's Day with your father.

    I dont know, but Im thinking that maybe if we hadnt spent the last 300 years beating their race into the ground, and preventing them from participating in the education system fully, And society, and preventing them from building wealth, and you know, just generally crapping on them and removing economic oppertunity for most of them, they probably wouldnt be commiting crime on the scale they do. Ya think?

    No, we attack Ben Carson because he is a complete idiot in terms of managing HUD.

    A gifted doctor he might be, but he is not good for office, and he is attacked on those merits.

    Black privilege is not being solely judged on academic merit for college admission.

    Your admission is almost admirable.

    So far I've only seen one side of the story, and that one so loaded up on liberal claptrap, it makes me wonder what the other side of the story might be. The extreme drama that the liberal press attached to this makes me doubt it happened as described...

    Sorry. I don’t understand what you’re trying to say with this question. I think most kids would come up with a Plan B. You don’t have any other choice in this case. Going around asking for help was his Plan B. Choosing no Plan B is like just laying down on the sidewalk and rocking back and forth helplessly.

    I don’t know about you, but I tend to just step over people in such a state. Ain’t nobody got no time for that, is my motto.
