1. i do not know how, it could be more blatantly obvious. as guns are pointed at law officials

and they walk away. but murder young black man, after young black man, unarmed.

6. yup. a duh... ya think. lol. pictures porvided, lol. nt

[napkinz]

7. but but but Bill O'Reilly says there's no such thing as white privilege!

[seabeyond]

9. ah. well. i see that as a white thing instead of a party thing.

i say, after just saying the same with misogyny. interesting that. huh?

[heaven05]

14. racist PIG!!!!

[Jamaal510]

24. That's like the ultimate form

of WP--denial of its existence.

[erpowers]

27. Another Way To Look At This

If the cops did shot either one of those guys, the right would go into a rage. They would say how dare some government official shoot them while they were only expressing their constitutional right to carry a gun.

8. I've seen that graphic before ... says it all!

3. That seems to be the very sad case

these days. The question is how to change this sickening state of affairs.

[Initech]

4. This is so fucking wrong on so many levels.

We need to get things changed and changed quickly.

[Hoyt]

10. Exactly.

[cui bono]

11. So true. I've said it myself.

It's important for us white people to talk about white privilege with other white people so that we all "get it". Until the majority of whites really get it it's not going to change. And it HAS to change.

18. the message ...

"Race is there, and it is a constant," Stewart said. "You're tired of hearing about it? Imagine how f*cking exhausting it is living it."

20. thank you for this

one more example of someone "getting it'.

[Enthusiast]

12. Kicked and recommended!

13. k+r

[heaven05]

15. gud 'mericuns

will keep denying and good americans will keep dying. A LOT of people don't want to change and enough so that there will NEVER be change enough to create a fair and impartial, non bigoted society. Period. Last 6 years have shown me that.

17. edit: oops, replied to wrong person

but you're right (a lot of people don't want to change)

16. K&R.

[Dont call me Shirley]

19. When I see white guys walking around sporting their guns,

I clasp my bag tightly and walk away quickly.

[stage left]

21. This makes me sicker and sicker every day.

It's obvious that the right to open carry only applies to white men. If the protesters in Ferguson had been armed they would have been massacred rather than "only' brutalized and arrested. How can we change this?

29. After scores of late-60s ghetto riots, something was done...

Passage of the 1968 Gun Control Act. Robert Sherrill, an early gun controller, mocked the legislation as less about "controlling guns," and more about "controlling blacks."

22. Pudgy neckbeard wannabes that play waaaaay too much CoD.

Real life is a foreign country to them.

[TBF]

23. Rec for visibility. K&R nt

[sheshe2]

25. Yup!

Nailed it, napkinz!

[Eleanors38]

28. Well, Narratives™ are like that. The HPN Gun Club

doesn't exist; I mean no one's shooting them, so it must be computer-generated, or some green screen stuff.

Hear the Texas open-carry group canceled their march through Houston's 5th Ward. Wonder if that had anything to do with the obviously photo-shopped image you posted.

Hokay! Back to reality...

[uponit7771]

31. No one missed the exceptions.. that's why they're exceptions.. rule = black person dies, shot in the

... back while leaning on BB gun....

33. Charges Thrown out Against Right-Wing Terrorist Who Paraded around Town Heavily Armed (Video)

August 28, 2014
Bob Cull

Leonard Stannis Embody of Brentwood, Tennessee — sometimes referred to locally as the “Radnor Lake Rambo” because of his penchant for carrying weapons in inappropriate places such as a public park at Radnor Lake — had all charges against him dismissed by Nashville judge Randall Wyatt on Tuesday. Wyatt explained that because Embody had permits for the gun and silencer, he had not violated the law because the law does not require him to produce a permit, only to have one.

Police arrested Embody on July 29 2013 when they observed him walking around in front of the courthouse clad in body armor and carrying what appeared to be a rifle on his back in a moldable plastic case. When police approached him and asked to see his permit for the gun and silencer and inquired as to whether the gun was loaded, Embody stubbornly refused to speak.

The judge ruled on Tuesday that while Embody could have ended the entire situation at the time by simply cooperating with the police, he had done nothing illegal and therefore the charges had to be dismissed.

Apparently, heavily-armed white guys don’t get murdered for not cooperating with police.
