      Sure. Let me rot in jail to take of the one person that represents all the assholes that will still be alive and share his beliefs. That checks out.

      It sucks, but this pain teaches the future generations how god-damned crazy they sound. It’s not an overnight fix. It’s going to take decades.

      It would in fact be better if a foreign country took care of it.

          I never said anything about my heritage. Or justifying idiotic racists. I live in one place. I raise a kid. I can’t just drop everything and go on a tirade to save everyone. Neither can anyone else. Saying it’s “cowardice” shows how disconnected you are from reality. Not everyone has the means to make change other than being a good example and showing other they are being dick heads when they are being dick heads.

        “Barely discriminate murderers,” everyone:

        But hey, at least you’re great at following instructions.

          The dude said I’m complicit if I don’t go out in the street and start murdering people.

          Take your irrelevant bullshit elsewhere, fucking phony keyboard warriors.

          Has no skin in the game, does nothing himself, blames everybody else for inaction.

          How’s that latest edition of Internet tough guy? Good read?
