Reply to comment by nthomas504 in 17-year-old shot and killed by US Park Police after fleeing traffic stop identified - WTOP News by thepulloutmethod

>If you are dumb enough to fall asleep in a stolen car and then try to flee, you deserve whatever happens.

Thank you. There's been a lot of beating around the bush in this thread, but you're one of the only ones brave enough to admit that you think he deserved to die for stealing the car and trying to flee.

Based on their comments, I'm sure that's what other people here are thinking too - but the (likely bullshit) story about the cop being "dragged" by the car offers a fig leaf justification that they can use to pretend it's about officer safety.

I don't agree, by the way - but I have an easier time talking with people who admit they think teenagers should be shot for stealing cars rather than pretending the cops' self-defense claims in this case have any credibility.

Reply to comment by glopmod in To Restaurants: Sakura blossoms don't taste like cherries by glopmod

I think more people would be upset that cherry blossom inspired cocktails didn't taste like cherries than people who are upset they do taste like cherries. Most people see cherry and expect cherry flavor.

Remember, this is the country where the 1/3lb burger failed to the 1/4lb burger because the "1/4lb burger is bigger than the 1/3lb burger".

Reply to When did slang joe get replaced with moe? by ThePurpleAmerica

Early 2000s What a golden Era of time that was. New balance 992's and solbiato was all the craze. When gogo bands roamed all 4 quadrants and parts of pg County. I feel like carryouts where much better back then. A time where people living in a metro city wore thousand dollar north face Himalayan suits.
