stereotyping

WuWei:

Arrested for what?

Failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, criminally negligent vehicle operation, speeding, failure to change lanes. I am certain something in Louisana motor vehicle law could have had him cited and held.

WuWei · 2018-06-02T21:30:03.662Z

They are investigating. If that is the case, they will deal with it.

WuWei · 2018-06-02T21:30:45.778Z

How many people you know been arrested for a traffic violation?

Ayup. But that did not preclude them from citing him and arresting him up front.

A bunch of them in my 61 years.

Bull feathers.

In what way?

Blackwolf · 2018-06-02T22:18:57.383Z

Racist kid kills a man and then laughs about it on social media, and everyone’s first instinct is to politicize/whataboutism it.

What do you suppose the intent of the OPs speculation was?

Why don’t you tell us? What sort of education DO you suppose his parents gave him?

Blackwolf · 2018-06-02T22:26:58.878Z

The OP speculated what sort of education his parents gave him. I took that to mean he thinks the parents taught the kid his racism. There was no mention of politics.

How did you read it?

Godinez · 2018-06-02T22:30:19.290Z

You read it right. Thanks.

Girl_from_Ipanema · 2018-06-02T22:33:44.227Z

I don’t think he doesn’t have some preconceived notion as to what sort of “education” his parents gave him.

Call me jaded.

Bravo! Some loon gets in a fatal accident in Louisiana and the very first post uses that cliche and blames it on Trump.

I was gong to put something like that here for sarcasm, but you put it there firs and meant it.

Read the very first response by LouC, formerly known as “I’m a conservative” LouC.

WuWei:

1st post after the OP. Outstanding.

Why wait?

Donny sure wouldn’t hesitate.

There were no racists in Louisiana, or anywhere else, under Obama.

LouC · 2018-06-02T23:21:38.334Z

I forgot. This was Louisiana. Black men who get hit by drivers there are considered the perps.

Notice I didn’t call out one side or the other in my initial response. I said everyone.
