COVID deaths don’t tell the whole story either. My stepdad didn’t die, but it messed him up. He still has some COVID fog a year later. A good buddy on this site is still struggling 3 or 4 months after getting sick as well.

I agree that they're different, but it's the same type of logic. (they did it 40 years ago, so why should they care now?) Social norms have changed a lot. What if a white guy calls a black guy the N-word but doesn't mean it as a slur and uses the soft A ending? Is that okay then? If he isn't trying to be offensive does it mean it's not offensive?

I guess since Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor used the N-word a lot in blazing saddles it should be ridiculous for black people to be offended if a white person calls them that?

I don't see how anyone can look at the footage and not determine that he acted in self-defense. He was retreating at all times, and was attacked by all three of the people he shot. My question is this: he was committing a crime at the time by carrying the rifle. Does that negate the self-defense charge?

I know i'm not as conservative as a lot of you guys, but I do lean to the right, and I have some definite issues with a lot of the liberal sensitivity and cancel culture going on these days. That said, I've got a little different outlook on this one. I can absolutely understand why African Americans find blackface offensive, and any white person stupid enough to wear it in today's social climate is an idiot who deserves whatever they get. Do I think a kid dressing as Madea is the same as blackface used in old minstrel shows? Of course not. But if this kid told me in advance what he was planning, this is almost exactly how I would've expected things to play out.

I'm not saying it's not lame, but we had to run until we threw up, had players kicked off teams, etc. etc. etc. when I was in school for things that happened at private, non-sanctioned parties.

I know 9 people personally who've died from Covid. 2 of them were distant family members. I know at least 3 dozen more who've been hospitalized. Admittedly I was only close/fairly close to 3 of the people who died. I don't know anyone who's been so much as hospitalized from the vaccine. In general everyone I know who "knows someone who died after taking the vaccine" was strongly anti-vax to begin with, and I honestly assume most of them are lying, or reading someone else's lie on facebook and taking it as their own.

Prayers up
