I wish to petition the forthcoming Ministry of Free Fishing Boats. I would prefer a Boston Whaler, but would begrudgingly accept a Ranger.

[Professor Tiger]

Hello?

[Jungle Rat]

It's me.

[Professor Tiger]

I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet..:

Trigger warning!

“We can tell our story of how we climbed the ladder, and a lot of you younger women think it’s done,” Ms. Albright said of the broader fight for women’s equality. “It’s not done. There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other!”


Women that don't vote for Hillary going to hell according to Madeline Albright.

[Professor Tiger]

Bad mistake. Religious imagery makes liberals have seizures.

“We can tell our story of how we climbed the ladder, and a lot of you younger women think it’s done,” Ms. Albright said of the broader fight for women’s equality. “It’s not done. There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other!”

"Special place in hell" is merely a colloquialism. Fans subjected to a 3-9 football season may say something similar of their head coach and his staff...but they surely wouldn't mean going to hell in the literal sense. Don'tcha think?

[Professor Tiger]

Madeline's remarks, however colloqial, still veered dangerously close to religion. Thousands of liberals must have fainted and had their safe spaces violated.

I wish there was a special place in hell for you. Like the bowl of Satan's toilet...

Better effort this time. If not for my help, your last post would have been something like, "I wish you were like Madeline Albright's women who are in that h place even though she was being colloqial for you to die specially for not helping Hillary."

Chicago Cop Who Fatally Shot Quintonio LeGrier Sues Teen’s Estate

http://www.theroot.com/articles/news/20 ... so_article

The white policeman who fatally shot 19-year-old Quintonio LeGrier and a neighbor claims that the incident traumatized him and so he filed a $10 million lawsuit Friday against the teen’s estate, the Associated Press reports.

In the lawsuit, Officer Robert Rialmo gives his version of the deadly Dec. 26 encounter at a two-family house in the West Garfield Park neighborhood of Chicago.

According to Rialmo’s first public account, the college student swung a baseball bat at his head—just missing by inches—before he opened fire. The officer also said he accidentally shot and killed 55-year-old Bettie Jones, a downstairs neighbor, in his confrontation with LeGrier.

“The fact that LeGrier’s actions had forced Officer Rialmo to end LeGrier’s life and to accidentally take the innocent life of Bettie Jones has caused, and will continue to cause, Officer Rialmo to suffer extreme emotional trauma,” the filing says, according to the AP.

Lawyers for the families of LeGrier and Jones have given a different account, which claims the officer was at least 20 feet from LeGrier when he fired his weapon.

Antonio LeGrier, the teenager’s father, filed a wrongful death lawsuit shortly after the incident. According to him, the shooting was unjustified.

The AP interviewed former federal prosecutor Phil Turner who called Rialmo’s lawsuit unusual and doubted that a judge would take it seriously. Emotional trauma “is a known part” of policing, he added. Turner said it seems as though the officer is trying to intimidate the teenager’s family.

Rialmo’s attorney, Joel Brodsky, said the lawsuit sends a message that police “suffer damage like anybody else.” He stated that cops are “not targets for assaults” at this volatile time in the relationship between law enforcement and communities of color.

This lawsuit comes against the backdrop of accusations that the city’s police department and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel have attempted to cover up police shootings of black men.

JD, I have a question. The media is saying that SC and the SEC primary will be Hillary's firewall. The African American monolith will turn out for her, and Bernie will be buried rather quickly. I assume this witness is true. My question is: why is the African American vote in Hillary's pantsuit pocket? Seems like a Socialist like Bernie Sanders would give out even more free stuff to all the constituencies, including to blacks, than the PAH. Why not feel the Bern?

[hedge]

Maybe they are thoughtful, sophisticated citizens who have weighed the issues and come to a reasonable conclusion, and not, as you so amply and unashamedly imply, just dumb lazy niggers looking for a handout...

[Professor Tiger]

Please note I said, "to all the constituencies..." That would include unions, feminists, LGBT's, etc. They all want free stuff, not just the African Americans. Bernie offers more to all of them.

[Jungle Rat]

Why does hedge hate the negros?

[Professor Tiger]

Hedge likes flnging around the n word. You'd think UNC would have cured him of that habit, but I guess not.

[Professor Tiger]

FWIW, the GOP Establishment gets free stuff too. Mostly tax cuts for billionaires.
