Fuck him. Also, fuck whoever was asking a question at the end that led with “he’s a young guy”. Men are excused for taking their bad days out on women. I will spend my day responding to anyone on twitter who calls him a kid or a young man. He’s a man. He was old enough to buy guns, he’s old enough to be treated as such. Black boys are men but White men are boys. It's disgraceful.

I can't believe we are STILL having this most basic of fucking conversations about violence against women. Lord help me. How is this possible?
I have a lot of feelings about cops and defunding is on my mind today. To watch this kind of violence keep being excused by male investigators is beyond infuriating. It feels like we are making NO PROGRESS on justice in this country.
We need more women in the room. We need more women detectives. We need more women reporters holding feet to the fire. The men keep showing they can't be trusted.

I'm having flashbacks to when I watched The Ripper on Netflix and started out being frightened and by the end I was literally screaming at the male cops and reporters on the TV.

Why can’t we just call a hate crime what it is? It isn’t difficult to see that it’s being fueled by anti Asian rhetoric. I am just so mad.

The men keep showing they can't be trusted. I just two minutes ago rage typed and then deleted a post about the domestic violence crimes by LEOs. Because I googled to get back up stats, and the first study I opened said “ police officers face unique challenges that lead to a high rate of domestic violence“. So I’m going to just say that people suck and I should step away for a minute.

Does your library HAVE all 6?
I feel like maybe the ones in circulation should have a disclaimer pasted in the front cover or something (like what Disney did with Dumbo/Peter Pan) if they aren't going to pull them. I mean I couldn't buy CDs without a parental warning on it, so maybe those should have one as well. It COULD be a good teaching moment if I trusted the rest of the world but I dont.
I'm not even touching the absolute stupidity of your colleague because its 2021 and they should know better.
Just a question - I'm assuming research/university libraries that deal with children's literature as an academic subject will continue to keep all the Dr. Seuss books? I don't have a problem with removing them from general public libraries. Or sticking a disclaimer on them. I have no idea - I would assume yes, because research in children's literature is vastly different than putting them into hands of 4 year olds.

He got the gun same day. Unbelievable. Premeditated. Not "just a bad day" where he was upset or whatever shit. Premeditated. Planned.

If OUR media would prioritize the words of a witness rather than the suspect we could be having the correct conversation right now.
