Have an iPhone in public — when some random person can’t find theirs. No apology to the innocent kid either. Well, this incident will sure shape his worldview. :-/

Now, I'm annoyed that he was doing this during Covid, but that's not why the police walked up and handcuffed him.

I hate this thread. The truth hurts.

Return home from the dentist with Subway sandwiches for your family, and attempt to enter your home (gun was present, but he had a license to carry).

Read an excellent article with photographs about critical issues in American history — without also reading comments by people denying the importance of and the persistent influences of aspects of this history.
At the same time, I appreciate and learned a lot from the article and the comments. — even if some of the things that I learned were horrifyingly painful.

Always liked the idea of statutory minimums for hate crimes

Wow! SMH. I wish there were obvious negative consequences for crap like this. The woman who called is probably back out shopping and playing with her phone. The man who did absolutely nothing wrong will likely be stressed out, looking over his shoulder, and worried about his life and safety for some time to come.
Arlington County police used to get calls about "Black men" shopping in the Whole Foods. Not a unique phenomenon to rural areas.

Participate in a televised debate at the highest level -- without having the President of the United States deem you "a monster".
It doesn't matter how professional, how educated, how measured and composed her delivery...... it didn't stop this deranged spewing from being all over the news media -- from the internet to the papers and magazines, to the TV sets in the living room. And even though we know how twisted the source of this spewing might be, still: it's got to sting.
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/520163-trump-calls-harris-a-monster
And, speaking as a Black woman who has both struggled and achieved, it raises the question: "What do we have to do simply be respected?"
The answer, sadly, is that in some people's eyes there is literally nothing that we CAN do. Because it's not about us -- it's about them.
