Having a conversation!

Ferguson is indeed a conversation starter, although I don’t think this is the sort of conversation Starbucks had in mind:

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Police are searching for three young men after a light rail passenger in St. Louis was attacked after being asked what he thought about the “Mike Brown situation.”

Officers released details Friday after a passenger who wasn’t involved posted video of the attack on social media.

The 43-year-old victim told authorities that one of the men asked to use his cellphone. When he refused, the man asked what he thought about the Brown “situation,” then punched and kicked him.

What the cop in Ferguson did was of course the fault of a random white guy who made the mistake of riding public transportation.

    The more reginald dennys you have the less rodney kings you will have! Now he knows how black people feel like the mother and 14 year old sister of the 12 year old black child shot and killed and left to die while playing in a park with a toy gun. Which I am sure none of you have ever done.

    The Cap is right. None of us reading this blog have been shot and killed and left to die while playing in a park with a toy gun.

    Does it count if I’ve been shot and killed and left to die while playing in a park with a Frisbee?

    So, by CapnAZZ’s ‘logic,’ this beating of a white guy calls for more beatings of black guys. Purely as a precautionary measure you understand.

    I think we can add progtard true believers to the subset of those subject to Poe’s Law.

    CapAZZ,

    You have a bad case of pronoun trouble. Or maybe it’s an identity crisis.
    Or perhaps an incapacity for irony.
