Did I say it was ok?

No.

I only implied that I thought she sounded like she was drunk. I wasn't excusing her behavior or racist rant.

I dunno. I get drunk and have never started ranting racist crap.

You're aware that those lines are arbitrary, right? Allegheny County is over five times the size of Philadelphia county.

 
There is no natural law governing county lines and how much of the county a city should fill.

So I listened again. I didn’t think she was drunk the first time. On the second listen, right at the beginning, she’s definitely drunk. Doesn’t make her any less of a piece of trash, but a drunk one.

Yes, but typically in larger cities that is usually well outside the county line. The city of Philadelphia literally occupies all of its county.

She said during her racist rant "I'm a CPA, I bet you don't even know what that means," which is why people misidentified that other woman due to her being a CPA and their vague resemblance to one another.

Along with her face, she gave a lottt of personal info/clues out during her tirade, so much so that she was identified by people in the neighborhood within a couple hours. Small town, word travels...

Dude isn’t denying it occurred. Idk what he is going to fight? He put his hand on a lobbyists thigh repeatedly and he apologized for it the next day. He’s claiming he has struggled with alcohol addiction which is great but deal with it when you’re not a fucking state representative. This is so dumb and I don’t know how leadership isn’t expediting the whole process so as to get a new representative.

The faux Republican indignation is hysterical but it’s not like they’re wrong, just extremely hypocritical.

skin color doesn't mean one can't be racist, xenophobic or antireligion

Jacksonville FL is larger than all of Allegheny County.

Yes, population gets sparser the further you move away from any city in America.

Pittsburgh can't forcibly annex other municipalities. Sadly.

> A lot of Allegheny county is actually rural.

 
None of Allegheny County is rural, if you ask the census bureau.

Why are they giving this dumbass a microphone and an opportunity to defend herself?

Wait, she works for the feds, too?! WTF!

>I never expressed an opinion on the subject. I'm just saying, of all the things happening in PA, this thing is getting disproportionately brought up.

We know, it's a thing called concern trolling.

No they aren't?

> Ethnic intimidation is known as an add-on crime, which means that the crime cannot exist independently. Ethnic intimidation is filed with other crimes if it is believed that a crime was motivated by “malicious intention” based on the victim’s race, color, religion or national origin. Underlying offenses include crimes of violence like aggravated assault, or property crimes like arson, criminal mischief or criminal trespass.

Breast cancer and being a caretaker is still not an excuse to be a raging racist.

First off, don't diminish your service, you put yourself out there when most others will not, whether that was to HALO jump into an al Queda compound or repairing vital equipment, it was all important.

Secondly, I hear you on that. I hate when people thank me for my service. Most times it the equivalent of saying 'god bless you' when someone sneezes, like they feel they have to, its a platitude now. I get a lot of people are just trying to be nice but it does make most veterans feel uncomfortable. And yeah, there are a ton of people in our society doing vital things that don't get the recognition they deserve. My wife worked as an ER nurse, while pregnant with twins, while getting her masters at night. That is hardcore.

Not sure what an example defined by a historically unpopular President telling people that the vote was fraudulent anyway so why show up would be Germain to this discussion.
