LOL.. I wonder if you take the time to understand what you write.. while I agree with a lot of what you wrote. the way you wrote can be viewed as offensive by those who actually lived it.

I said I speak from experience, because I shared a similar back ground, of being called white trash, white bread, gringo (no it is not just a term meaning a white person, it is a slur)( this H word for whites was blocked so I edited to remove it), red neck, hick ECT...
I could just as easily have been trapped by believing it was "THE MANS FAULT" that I had to live the way I did. because I was just like others that was raised not knowing better. it was not until I left the fields of california, and started working at a nursery, that I learned.. different.
yes, it is hard letting go of what you know to be true. when you find out that it was all a lie. it takes time to come to terms with it. and some people never fully make the adjustment.

I dont know his mother, she could be a verry decent person who did the best she could. I'm sure she probably did.
for all I know she came from a good home in a good neighbor hood. but was taught that women were inferior, and her job in life was to be a good wife and raise kids.
even people that meant well in the 60's and 70's . did not understand they were causing harm. Martin Luther King taught us to rise up and show our worth as equals regardless of skin color.
while others in the movement taught that we should hate back, and blame others for holding us back and to blame what we are, not who we are for our failings.
so that we could be trapped and be able to be controlled through that hatred and miss trust.
people that are not taught to recognize their victory's will never achive them, and people who dont study their history. are doomed to repeat it.

and if your not part of the solution, your part of the problem.

if the president is advised by the people directly responsible, that it was not necessary at the time. and the request was not directly sent to him. then the responsibility remains with those who advised against it.
my boss is responsible for the properties I work at, but if I fail to inform him that I need a tech for a repair that I'm made aware of, and I do not call one in. then I'm at fault, not him.

the same bread that cost me a buck Twentynine last year, now costs 3 bucks. the burger meal that was 5 bucks is now 9..
it is what it is.
I was raised to compare prices and volume, to find the best deals.
I also buy meats on shelf pull date mark down. and freeze it. you can often get it for half price this way.
and if you ever paid over 100 bucks in a fancy restaurant for an aged stake thats what this is.
I never thought I would see a day, where hamburger cost the same or more per pound then a steak.

LOL, as the pictures above shows, I can relate to too many projects.
the hood and deck lid can be replaced, you can get
almost perfect reproduction parts for them through several suppliers.

he is a victim of his own choices,
had he just complied with the officers and not tried to escape. he would still be alive.
we can play armchair quarter back to make excuses back and forth. but he still made a choice. that put the events that fallowed in motion.
could it have plaid out better, yes. but unfortunately, mistakes were made in haste, that can not be changed. it happened.
all we can do now is try to learn from them.
any one that has un intentionally taken a life, that is not a sociopath is also a victim of that mistake, and they will have to live with it for the rest of their lives.

I actually kinda agree with this, but for a completely different reason. and this is from experience.

we are raised to treat everybody equally, martin luther king said judge not by the color of the skin, but by the character.
yet in their community they are taught by their parents and community, that they can never be as good.
because they are not white. while their peers that escape the bonds placed on them.
prove they can do just as well, and better. then anyone else, regardless. (labeled sellouts and uncle toms and worse. by those who choose to remain enslaved to their known community)
that is a cycle that has to be broken with in their community.
no out side influence will be able to change it.

I had a 72 impala with a 454, that could whip you around sitting still. and make you feel like you were being tossed into the back seat when you mashed the peddal. BIG BLOCKS R FUN.

LOL. I'm willing to see how this plays out.. it is still being investigated. as for hillary.. she was actually caught destroying files. and with internal classified documents on her personal computer servers she had in her home and still walked.

still easily solved by putting her into a mental facility . she gets a place to stay, free meals, and the treatment she needs to have a better life.

asked and aswered read my above reply. these are not national secrets

from what I understand. the documents their seeking are personal documents, normally left for the presidential archives, for posterity.
and they are clasified because they are personal.

I tried to copy the politico address and norton flagged it as a threat. if these are valid stories, post live links or adress's with out virus' warnings attached.

it would if she was evaluated while being processed. because she would have been transferred to a psyche facility to be held, where she could get help.
instead of being just released back onto the streets.

just to set peoples mind at ease, Apple was actually asking about raising and caring for goats.
she's interested in maybe starting a goat farm. and wants to know more about it.
any one wanna help out? have advice for her,
thanks.

sure they dont, just as black cops dont shoot black people either. for acting similarly.
everything could have been prevented by simply complying with the officer. most accidents happen when people are forced to react quickly to prevent other actions. my autistic nephew was shot by an officer because he had a realistic looking plastic knife. he did not comply, because he's mentally about 5 years old. and did not understand, he probably thought it was a game. point is, preventable bad things happen all the time.
if travis did not sneak out of the house, the neighbor would not have reported a man with a knife.
and if the young officer was properly trained or had an experienced officer with him, he may not have felt threatened.
and it the stated case abouve, if she had her pistol on the opposite hip, she may not have mistakenly grabbed her side arm, instead of her tazer pistol.

if she was cooling her heels in jail. she could have all the psyche help she needs. cops dont need to be hobbled by a shrink. they need to be allowed the proper training and support of the judicial system. to hold and evaluate detainees'.
instead of just fining and releasing them back onto the street to continue their previous actions.
you can not force people to take their meds, if they dont want to. unless they are under supervision.
and if she was under true supervised release, she would be being watched to prevent the actions she's being arrested for..

not when the full 62 page report in question, has the JHU.EDU web address embedded in it.

you wanted the link, now you can read the full unedited report at your leisure. just copy and paste.

our governer is releasing high risk juvenal offenders with life sentences. because
one such poor deprived kid. tried to rape his girl friend and she fought him off, so he stabbed her in the kneck 15 times. the reason why he did it, .

on the defund the police front, oregon and washington are trying to hire back officers that left or took early retirement, with a substantial bonus's and they are still not coming back.
no one wants to go into the riot zone knowing they have no support.

thanks Tom... think I'll make some of them tater cakes this weekend. maybe add some chopped pastrami and green onion in them.
