Part of me thinks they are doing this just to meet Brad Pitt.

Are they really using a movie as an example where one of the lessons is "if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!"

I'm all for the straight pride parade, because it is funny and I want to laugh at the pictures on Twitter.

But please, tell us more on why we need a straight pride parade.

Four teenagers have been arrested in connection with a homophobic attack on two women on a London bus that prompted widespread condemnation in the UK.

The attack took place on a night bus on May 30 as the couple, Melania Geymonat and her partner Chris, were traveling home from an evening out together.
Geymonat posted a photograph on Facebook of the aftermath of the attack, showing the pair sitting on the bus, covered in blood.

In the accompanying account of the attack, in English and Spanish, Geymonat said that at least four men began harassing the couple when they saw them kissing. The group made lewd comments, demanded that they kiss and eventually assaulted and robbed them, Geymonat said.

These cops should have be fired. I wonder what will happen one day when someone justifiably pulls a firearm on police in situations like this to defend themselves.

The police union will protect them and nothing will come of it.

Definitely the fault of unions. It's too bad American police aren't non union like in Germany.

Or maybe the blame here is training and police culture. Nope. Must be the evil unions.

I wasn't blaming a union for the action, I'm blaming them for the lack of justice. If you don't believe me, look it up. This isn't a secret.

Police unions are made up of police. Unions isn't some ubiquitous entity that descends on workplaces. Unions are made up of the very employees of that workplace. If the unions are protecting crappy cops, it's because crappy cops are standing up for each other

Well then it's a good thing he literally said police union and not all unions then isn't it?

For someone who laments PC culture, you're terrifyingly easy to trigger with anything remotely negative associated with a union.

I don't believe Fuzz was suggesting that unions are bad, but that many police unions are bad. You giving a reason for why they're bad (surprise, they're made up of police, who may be bad) doesn't negate the obvious.

But this is the internet. The place where we latch on to one detail and then distort the meaning of the whole post.

The fact that OJ has over half a million followers on Twitter is this thread in a nutshell.

Howard Stern was talking about that and played the audio of a couple of them. This guy is one of a kind. The man has no shame or conscience as he should just go away and die somewhere but he has to keep trying to stay relevant, rubbing salt in the wounds of the Brown and Goldmans. As for the followers I just don’t get it.
