According to Shaun King they have issued an arrest warrant for Deandre Harris. The kid that was beaten in c-vile. Yet they still haven't arrested two of his attackers. I have no words What? Why?

I have no words The article on NBC says for assault. He "unlawfully wounded" someone in connection to the attack. Interesting that the warrant came two days after the assholes were back in C-Ville.

Unlawful wounding is what I read the warrant is for. Aka same thing his attackers will be charged with. For Harris's attackers, does Shaun King mean the ones who haven't been identified? I thought they had only identified two of them.

Good morning everyone In other outrageous news....... I overheard a conversation in my office where people were talking about someone protestings teh Columbus Day festival or carnival (I can't remember which) because they were calling Columbus a murderer. Then they started giving them crap about it. And then they fall back on their normal tone deff thought of "c'mon". Clearly noone around here has critical thinking skills. sigh. Also Uncaripswife your picture makes my day and life right now. I don't pay attention to the news over the weekend because I need the time to clear my head and deal with all kinds of things but that is what I think every monday (or this case) Tuesday morning.

Well Columbus was a murderer and a pretty awful person. We should not revere him. Maybe give that person Columbus's journals. that's the eye opener they need.

They are very old world, womanizers, and bros.

@heartbot and I were posting at the same time. I see she answered my question.
The other two need to be identified and charged as well.

I just want to make sure I have my facts straight. White supremacists staged a rally. A black man came to protest it. A white supremacist charged at another person with a deadly weapon. A black man stopped him from mortally wounding or killing that person, and sustained injuries in the process at the hands of the white supremacist. And the black man is going to jail? Fuck anyone in the face that says this country isn't deeply and devastatingly racist.

Stuff like this is why I kind of side eye white people who say they are so woke bc racism is do deeply ingrained in our systems and parts of our culture, I just don't know how I would ever get to a place that I don't think I could do better. I think if you think you never contribute to perpetuating racism you probably need a gut check. IDK. I'm not telling anyone how to feel, but I think it's a lifelong journey of trying to do better

I'm not telling anyone how to feel, but I think it's a lifelong journey of trying to do better I dont even think that you have to be a social crusader, just RECOGNIZE your privilege and admit it, nobody is saying you're a bad person because you're white, just realize you have it and do better. I dont think thats a lot to ask. Speak up when you see it, teach your kids to know better do better. And listen when people of color tell you THIS is their reality and dont dismiss it. (I'm just building off what you said above)

Fuck anyone in the face that says this country isn't deeply and devastatingly racist. That's how I read it. It's funny how the c-ville police dragged their feet on issuing warrants for the two attackers who were identified and now they are jumping to arrest a man who was defending someone else from being stabbed and then was himself brutally beaten. We need to know who is giving their marching orders. Is it the sheriff? A county DA? Whoever it is has blood on their hands.

So many people want to create this false dichotomy between personal responsibility/modesty and civil rights/safety/reproductive justice. I think we can teach women to protect themselves and to love and respect their bodies without excusing men acting like cavemen or treating them as handmaids

Like I should be able to tell my daughter, "Don't go out of the house with your ass showing bc it disrespects you and others," not, "Don't show cleavage bc a man might take it as an open invitation to fondle you"

I'm even more outraged about Harvey Weinstein after hearing clips on the radio today of shows like 30 Rock and SNL that made jokes/references to his sexual assaults years ago. And nobody thought to do anything? I'm so disappointed in our society today.
