Fake news means the initial report was false, which was a possibility. Turns out the initial piece of information came from him. You seem to love to find little faults to complain about. Why? Why, young moth, do you keep returning to the candle wick? Ms. "Protestants never persecuted Quakers"? Did you check things the reports before you made your silly post? Yet both Milo's original words and his apology were readily available. Did you check them before claiming to have been victimized.? No, you did not. Why not? I think it is because you read something you think you like and post it. Did you then do a poor reading of those things before concluding that Yiannopolous had redeemed himself? Yes, you did do that poor reading, because you missed the entire sense of his apology. You promised us that you'd read more. Did you do that? No. You continue to act as if Percy does not maintain a record of our posts here. Your inanity is on full display. I'm nothing special. Anyone here could point out the same silliness I see.

YOu just can't tell the truth can you? I didn't "yell" about any of it. Did I say that you yelled. This time?
Then I saw some conservative sites defending him and then Dr. A said what he said so it occurred to me that perhaps I'd been the victim of fake news and said that, The time to check for truth is before you post and not after. Why is that one single suggestion, to vet your sources before taking a position, so alien to you? Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

Gee, sounds a lot like Black Lives Matter. Yes, it does. Finally I get to agree with you about something. That hasn't happened very often over the last couple of weeks.

The only case I know of where a cop killed a black man without any cause whatever was prosecuted and the cop is in prison. That was te guy who ran from a routine stop; the cop shot him in the back and then tried to make it look like the guy had stolen his tazer or something like that. That policeman is not in prison. He was tried and a mistrial was declared because at least one member of the jury refused to convict him even after seeing the video. Officer Slager is currently out on bond.

The other guy, Garner? I think, had been resisting arrest and was thrown to the ground and held down until he suffocated due to some medical problem. Your memory is extremely selective. The cause of Eric Garner's death was asphyxiation caused by being placed in a chokehold, an action that was against police department policy. The medical examiner ruled the case a homicide. Why did you not mention that? If you are not aware, his family was given a multi-million dollar settlement after the city attorney refused to prosecute. Killing of Eric Garner - Wikipedia

No, I did not know about that. And my opinion at this distance is that it is a strange miscarriage of justice since it was an accident. Why are you talking crap about stuff you know nothing about? Where in the world did you get that BS version of events that you put in your post? I'll note here that you did not even get the facts regarding Officer Slager right. Doesn't that bother you in the least? You should know by now that you make substantial errors like that you are going to get called on them. Even if you take the position that Eric Garner and Tamir Rice's deaths were accidents, fatal accidents often occur because an improper amount of care was taken. In the case of Rice, you seem to acknowledge haste being a factor in the resulting accident to use your terms. Such accidents are at best negligence, and at worse gross disregard for the consequences of ones actions. Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

I gave a good enough account of what I actually saw. Actually, your account failed to include facts that were contrary to your attempt to dismiss any culpability of the police. You really are going to have to stop relying on your memory. Here is what you would have seen if you looked:

And I have NO desire to "exonerate the police" and you really need to curb your accusations. Yes you do. The entire point of your posts was to show that BLM really did not have any incidents to protest. In making that point you attempted to claim that the killing of Eric Garner was mere accidents.

The same situation applies. If instead of an accident what we have is a PROSECUTED HOMICIDE, for crying out loud, then BLM has no case there either. And there was no prosecution despite the fact that the death was reported as a homicide. As I stated, Eric Garner's family won a multi-million dollar civil suit. Your reading comprehension stinks. And of course, you did indeed have reason to "mis-remember" the details because you were making a specific argument that required that Eric Garner's death was an accident resulting from a medical condition rather than a homicide resulting from a choke-hold and chest compression. Eric Garner is dead, and he should not be. That is reason enough to complain. Walter Scott is dead, and despite the evidence, the jury could not convict his murderer. That's reason to complain. There is no justice at all for Tamir Rice, and your defense is that despite the fact that the police were trigger happy, accidents happen. Yet all it takes for you to complain is being quoted properly while pointing out the BS in your arguments. Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

Apparently I got all the other examples right, but the Garner case changed after our discussion from accidental death to homicide. No, it did not. You lie.
It doesn't matter whether it was an accident or a homicide as far as not providing an excuse for BLM, just as none of the other cases did. Besides, doesn't homicide imply intention? If you ran over someone while driving because you accidentally hit the accelerated instead of the brakes, don't you think you would be prosecuted? Do you have any clue about the law? I am an idiot. I am attempting to argue facts and law with a moron. Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given. Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

Homicide is the killing of a person by another human being. Period.
Faith writes: If I ran over someone by accident it wouldn't be called homicide. Probably manslaughter or something like that. Both terms are appropriate.
quote: Note that intent is not required. Negligence is sufficient. In the case of Eric Garner, a homicide might still be justifiable, in which case, the killer might still not be punished. The purpose of pointing out that the death was a homicide was to indicate that your statement Garner expired from a medical condition was pure fabrication. It is also a lie because there was no official ruling that his death was an accident rather than a homicide. The ruling did not change. It is also the case that intent is not required for prosecution. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

If justice was done how does that give BLM a case. Are you really this stupid? Justice was not done. Eric Garner was dead, and nobody was punished. Instead the city of New York had to pony up millions of dollars of tax money to partially compensate the victim's family?

Tell you what. If BLM protestors, or the black community in general, loudly denounced the violence that associates itself with them, even the obstruction of streets that sometimes occurs and causes problems for others, I'd be far more open to your argument. No, you would not be far more open to the arguments of others. We know that because both black folks in general, and BLM in particular have made such denouncements repeated, and you have not changed your mind.
Instead what I see and hear -- and I admit I probably miss a lot of news -- what I see and hear is incendiary talk "You miss a lot?" No shit. You only appreciate sources that harp on the incendiary talk of folks who don't represent "Black Community" whoever the #$@&! you think they are. If you cared about hearing what they or BLM had to say you could easily find such pronouncements from black people with next to zero effort. Of course, your ignorance is always someone else's fault. You say you did not find enough youtube videos to convince you? Youtube is a piss poor way to do research. Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

No, I admit I am not motivated to do enough research and it's getting harder all the time.
