When you posted this:
So pictures of him with “Crips” as titles, and throwing gang signs, are meaningless.
...you pretty much tipped your hand. I’m sure you think you were right, but that’s your real problem.
Yeah, I’m biased against crips and gang hand signs.
That is confirmation bias. If that makes you uncomfortable, go yell at a mirror, because that is where the fault lies.
You belong on a SJW website. I have rarely run into such an idiot feebly trying to masquerade as a conservative on FR. Using all the lingo and everything.
I've held a Concealed Handgun License for over 20 years. I've seen CHL/CCW holders maligned for all kinds of imagined offenses, but never on Free Republic -- where many members are CCW/CHL holders, just like me.
However, when I see a police officer shoot and kill a CHL holder simply because he didn't follow proper procedure during a traffic stop, I think everyone should stop and ask: "what can we do to prevent this from happening again"?
Instead, I see people like you straining to find a reason -- ANY REASON -- to blame the victim, when the guy wasn't doing anything except trying to comply with the officer's orders.
Many people have made the same mistake as you: jumping to conclusions based on inflammatory information that overlook the real facts. I've posted corrections, and I've been happy to see at least some of them acknowledge their error. Others are incorrigible.
If you don't like me, that's fine. I think you are an ass, and wouldn't want to even be in the same room with you. But, that's only because you have your hands over your ears and chanting "Nah, nah, nah... I can't hear you!" to avoid learning the uncomfortable truth.
