I went to extreme channels on both ends. And one side clearly is trying to scare the shit out of people.

What are her chances

The African American reparations advisory committee has made a new proposal that would pay $5M to black residents for slavery reparations. I would buy an all black Lamborghini and a small nice house.

Following the outcry to my last question so I thought I'd provide an example🤣A couple of months ago I was taking a few minute look and gaze at the hills in the distance while out for a walk on a weekend away on a lovely woodland trail, it was lovely until i was clouded with a wall of smoke from behind🥴I turned a few moments later after hearing a couple of LGBT remakrs and slurs in the conversation they were having. So I walked over and I confronted a man and woman about early to mid 20s and told the couple who were smoking like chimneys which smelt horrible and supposedly having a "picnic" when I confronted them I simply said "I don't want to inherit any damage from your smoke, and also its 2022 so maybe grow up with your slurs" 👌 The womans response was to laugh in my face and say "Mind your own buisness Mr, you sound like Kurt off Glee" her boyfriend laughed his ass off and told me to "Go away" with a few expletives, so I then pulled them on their ignorance and floored logic and why because they see someone like me they feel it okay to act in this manner? and they ended up tying me to a tree and carrying on anyway with their smoking and "Picnic" before driving off a short time later. 🙈 I think this is a great example of people not being able to handle losing an argument and accepting their own ignorance. Although people find this amusing even my friends, it highlights it to the tee. Do you agree?

Is this what 2024 red candidates have to do for red meat on the right? Refuse an African American course just to cause trouble? This is a teaspoon in the ocean of Florida’s fcked up politics. And Repubs waste time for this sht.

Take this case for example.

It started in 1996 when Sally Snowden McKay, 75, and her nephew, musician Joseph ‘Lee’ Baker, 52, were found shot dead inside their home.

It was understood they’d disturbed a burglar and the suspect – 16-year-old Travis Lewis – had shot them in fright.

He then, reportedly, set fire to the house. The teenager, who had been living with his parents nearby, was quickly arrested and charged with the double murder. Despite saying someone else had been involved, on April 7, 1998, Lewis pleaded guilty to the crime. Tried as an adult, he was handed a 28-and-a-half year jail sentence of which he had to serve at least 70 per cent.

Sally’s big-hearted daughter, Martha McKay, believed he deserved to be rehabilitated. A practising Buddhist, she forgave Lewis for what he’d done and began writing to him in prison.

When Lewis was eventually freed in 2018, after serving 22 years, Martha quietly gave him a job. By this time, she had moved to Snowden House (the house her mother was killed in), having bought it from the rest of the family. She had renovated and restored the run-down property, with all its ghosts and dark past, into a high-end bed-and-breakfast and wedding venue. It meant that Lewis, 39, was literally back at the scene of his crime with Martha, locally known as the Lady of the Lake, demonstrating the ultimate forgiveness.

But on Wednesday, March 25 of this year, police responded to an alarm at Snowden House. History was repeating itself as they quickly discovered a body.

Martha, 63, was found at the top of the marble stairs wrapped in a blanket. She’d been stabbed. The suspect, Travis Lewis, fled the scene and was observed by the police jumping into the lake and swimming under water but he never came back up. Forensic specialist later recovered his body.

I have several good ones at the ready in event my death makes it to a documentary. The worse thing I can think of is a docu series with only one pic to cut to.

Quick tip: make sure the pixel sizes are around 1000. Don’t want appear blurred like this dumb broad who’s husband killed her.

Four people have been arrested in connection with the rape and death of a Louisiana State University student - who was struck and killed by a ride-share car.

Madison 'Madi' Brooks, 19, died in hospital in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on January 15.

On Monday night, East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office announced that Kaivon Washington, 18, has been charged with third-degree rape - alongside a 17-year-old.

Casen Carver, 18, and Everett Lee, 28, were also arrested and charged as accomplices to third-degree rape following Brooks' death.

Arrest documents also indicate that Brooks had a blood alcohol level of.319 percent at the time of her death - meaning she was highly intoxicated at nearly four times the legal limit.

Washington, one of those charged with Brooks' alleged rape, stated he had a consensual sexual encounter with her after the group left Reggie's Bar in Tigerland in Baton Rouge following a night of drinking.

Washington said that he and another teen had intercourse with Brooks in the back seat of a car while Carver and Lee were in the front seats.

Carver has admitted that he and his three friends drank at the bar before leaving with Brooks, who was 'very unstable on her feet, was not able to keep her balance, and was unable to speak clearly without slurring her words.

Carver allegedly told investigators his 17-year-old friend and Brooks were 'hugging and walking together.'

Investigators say Carver told them Brooks asked for a ride home with them.

The men claim Brooks then asked to be taken home but say she gave them a number of different addresses before she got out of the car.

Carver says they later dropped off Brooks in a neighborhood near Burbank Drive.

She was killed shortly afterward, when she walked into the middle of the road and was hit by a ride-share vehicle at around 3am.
