    “See now, it is a medical fact that in black people’s bodies the marijuana has an exciting effect, not unakin to turning into the incredible Hulk, which makes them into a “rage monster” who slavers for the blood of good honest white women.”

      You’re joking, but there are actually racists who believe this.

    There is NOTHING that they could have found in that apartment that would have made a difference to me...

    Maybe 1, 5, 7.....okay, 11 and, yeah just WHAT is up with those exploding houses in Massachusetts

      Short: Gas company fucked up.

      Long: Gas company overpressurized a bunch of houses that didn’t have the right valves. If your pilot light was on the all that extra gas had its spark. Cause of error might be: swapping trained union labor for untrained scabs, regular negligence, corporate cutting scheduled test times to cut costs, or a part of the control system failed somewhere.

      Worst case but least likely is it got legit hacked. Look out for utilities to use that excuse when they fuck up like when white people get caught tweeting the n-word.

      That’s oddly impressive. All our utilities in California do is start massive fires with poorly tended telephone wires.

    “One reason, besides racism, why 30 percent of America still supports Donald Trump.”

    While I’m sure the Venn diagram overlap is small, there are people, some, I assume, are good people (well, not racist) who support Trump still.  For these people who are not (again, a very very small amount) racist they are yet angry and mean and hateful people.  They enjoy Trump pissing people off and probably even recognize and get a kick out of his own incompetence, they enjoy and feed off this negative energy.  That’s one reason there are people, besides actual racists, still supporting this twat infection discharge.

      I was going to argue with your post after reading the first sentence... then I continued reading and feel ashamed for jumping to conclusions. I totally agree. There are a number of people who just like to “troll libtards” with their support. There are also a lot of old people who just refuse to believe facts, but I’d lean towards putting them in the racist group anyway.

      Then those people are not good people.

    He asked what the search warrant for Guyger’s apartment turned up. They never searched it.

      Is this like normal? Though I don’t know why they needed a search warrant for jeans home at all, except they wanted to see what he had that they could use to flip the story. Certainly it should have been restricted to items related to the shooting,but apparently they were able to just look into everything.

    A couple of things we do know:

    - he had none of that wacky weed in his system

    - she definitely was lit in some ways

    We know this because we haven’t had leaks to tell us otherwise. And it takes a while to either fabricate evidence or fabricate missteps that can be used to discredit evidence.

    Amber Guyger’s confession could be in there and the Dallas PD would STILL be trying to send Botham Jean to jail before her.

    I wouldn’t care if she stumbled upon an operating meth lab.* She should not have entered someone else’s apartment and shot the unarmed occupant. Period.

    *At least as far as the murder is concerned.

    There is something really wrong with this whole story. For example, how did she not realize that it wasn’t her apartment, given the fact that the entrance was decorated differently from that of her apartment?

    Did she do this deliberately? Was she drunk or high herself? There is more to this story.

      I keep floating back that they’d had words before about noise and she had an early start the next morning and wanted to impress on him to knock it off because it was 10PM. I 100% expect that he would be unhappy about the visit.

      How it got from there to a shooting to the weird and unbelievable stories, I have no idea.

      If all cops have drop-guns why not just say he opened the door holding a weapon? That’s easy enough. Complaints about finding pot as a way to discredit him are incredibly weak - click bait weak. And if he was farther in the apartment when shot how did the door get opened? Certainly anything he used to prop the door open with or a defective closer would have been noticed. It would be an incredible coincidence that it didn’t latch at just that moment, otherwise he would have noticed and called for repair earlier.

      And if she planned this ahead of time, it’s pretty weak as well. How would she know there weren’t going to be people in the hall or in their with him? Plus the drop-gun - if you are a cop planning to kill someone, bring an extra gun.

      Slight inclination is she was involved with him, he let her in, and she saw or heard something that sparked enough jealousy to kill him. This might also go with why the neighbors (a claim as yet unverified by police and news) say they heard her demanding to be let in. It also goes along with her apparently saying she was sorry. It makes the most sense if she was going to spend some time with him that she would bring her stuff with her and not drop it off at her apartment first.

      I’m not too put out by the various stories. A straight up hit doesn’t usually get anyone coming forward at all, so staying put and calling for help doesn’t lead to a simple telling of truth, especially if the truth is that her white-power family might not approve of a Caribbean romance partner.

      If there was an operating meth lab let’s be realistic, it would be in her apt.

    police now say they found .37 ounces of marijuana in Jean’s residence.

    I mean, why even repeat this? Why even breath life back into this as if it’s relevant to repeat verbatim?  Hyperlink us with “this is what the police said,” but I don’t care a single fuck to see their smear repeated verbatim #OnHere.

    I am done with these fuckers. BEEN DONE.

    A final signed draft of the U.S. Constitution showing an undiscovered amendment saying Barack Obama can be president again.

    Well, that’s one thing we know that won’t leak out.

    Was it a draft because there were those who wanted the amendment to read “obama can take over again hen he’s needed/wanted”.
