Well, given that Sony told them they could refuse to show it without reprecussions... That's not the point though. They could have done a limited release at smaller theaters and requested law enforcement provide security for the first few days or even a week and then go wide distro when not only did nothing happen, no one was even caught trying something. Or distribute it online allowing not only private viewing but public viewing rights too if a venue wishes to "take the risk."

It's not the movie, it's the message. There'd be no attack. NK has been full of shit for years. They're broke and starving. Every once in a while they puff up and try to act tough. This was another one of those times but we fell for it this time. You don't negotiate with terrorists.

Or you proceed as normal and decree any act taken on US soil surrounding this will be considered a direct act of war by the North Koreans. And then fucking follow through... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Bullcrap!! http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-unaccountable-death-of-john-geer/2014/09/05/29d36d96-339a-11e4-a723-fa3895a25d02_story.html That must be a fake article.

Has that worked in other cities? Obviously nothing to the extent of Ferguson, but was video evidence believed when other evidence ignored or considered "faked"? Only issues see with body video itself is the impact of once made standard, of due to a strictly technical issue, it not working. Would the officer still be permitted to work, or would whatever issue preventing the recording or transmission/storage be required to be resolved prior? Or would this only be the case in "high risk" situations/areas? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

So what your saying is to them, due to historical reasons, there's no such thing as a justified shoot. Not innocent until proven guilty, but innocent no matter. This could also be a case of unarmed being incorrectly associated with defenseless. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

For a system like that, they'd just run a scan to compare to prints to their database, not collect personal information? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

People profile each other every day. That's just how it works. I agree. I have worked on the south side of Chicago for 37 years and currently live on the south side. I have developed a pretty good feel for whom to avoid. Apparently it works because I have had zero incidents in all that time. What criteria do you use to determine whom you choose to avoid? Guessing race isn't one of them, nor should be. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

You grossly underestimate the group outrage throughout every segment of the American black population nation-wide today. Out of curiosity, are you justifying their irrational behavior, or just explaining it? Poor attempt at spinning my point. Answer: neither. Not playing the game. I will neutrally rephrase the question. Are you justifying the riots and looting, or just explaining a possible reason why they do it?

Let's talk about profiling...last night Rox stops at a grocery to get some last minute Thanksgiving stuff and a couple of bottles of liquor. Not a terrible neighborhood but not the best either. The way that liquor works in Ohio is it has to be purchased separately and bagged up. So when you leave the store you have liquor in brown paper bag your other stuff in their own bags (plastic). As she leave 4 black youths appear from the nearest corner of the store and start following her to her car. She could tell they were interested in what she had in her cart. They were getting pretty close when all of a sudden the cop that was at the door yelled something to the effect of "you guys planning on helping that lady with her groceries?" They took off running. Profiling works and I'm glad they do it here in Ohio (and I'm glad we can still get plastic bags...lol) Yes, if they were white youths doing the exact same thing it wouldn't have raised a shred of suspicion. Especially if they wore, you know, penny loafers and stuff. Disagree. Of course they don't have to steal it from strangers, they just raid their parents liquor cabinet or pay the help to buy it for them.

Out of curiosity, are you justifying their irrational behavior, or just explaining it? One would think if people were tired of being treated as thugs and criminals, they'd stop being thugs and criminals, or even acting or dressing like them. They could even go further and denounce those thugs and criminals and (gasp) work with the police to have them prosecuted for their crimes.

Except absolutely none of that applies in this case. The guy was a thug. All those that are looting and rioting are thugs and criminals. It's extremely likely initially the riots and looting were started by those not in the community but once started, locals joined in. Sadly, all that has happened in Ferguson has just reenforced the reasoning for the police's initial actions and response. If they really wanted change, they would have not only not joined in, but tried to stop those that did and failing that, recorded those that did so they could be prosecuted. Make the police and the government troops look like fools for overreacting by NOT rioting, NOT looting. "We're mad as hell, so we're going to destroy our own community?" If one is mad at someone else, at least take it out on their stuff/place. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

The reasoning they used to give for the background check was the BASE jumpers and rappellers were the only ones allowed on the bridge with "backpacks" and they weren't searched so "for safety" required alternate protection methods.

Riots over a shoting turn into free jordans and 40's
Bolas replied to Anvilbrother's topic in Speakers Corner
Do we have people with no respect for the law? Yes. Do we have law-enforcement officers that violate citizens rights? Yes. Verbally arguing with an officer should be the most one does, and even that should be limited. If you feel your rights are being violated or the officer is being unreasonable, just take the summons or arrest peacefully and address that in court to have any evidence gathered illegally dismissed. Resisting, even passively, will just escalate them to the next level to make one comply. Through court and police complaints we can weed out the bad cops.

+1 This is not a racial issue. It's a socioeconomic, lack of education, lack of respect for others, no responsibility, no accountability issue.

Wrong. No one else is willing to do at the wage currently being paid and with government assistance programs supporting them. You've said numerous times in this thread that businesses will take the cheapest option. Illegals, H1B, outsource, offshore. Even if all those options were no longer available or easier just no longer the cheapest, businesses will find ways to survive or new businesses that can adapt will take over. Go back to the Trancontinental Railroad. Even if ChInese immigrants weren't brought in, someone would have found a way to get the job done.

Saw Bob and his van quite a few places in Florida. One time I asked him, "How's it going today?" "At my age," he replied, "Any day still breathing and above ground is a great day."
