I met him when I was 16, dated him for 6 years, and have been married to him for just about 50 years.

And that woman they beat with batons, and deliberately trampled with a horse... That behavior is unacceptable, that is criminal behavior. Those are actions taken by criminals, and they need to be identified, arrested and taken to trial.

Thankfully someone was filming from above them so that there is a record.

You cannot be that naive. She might have reacted to a white child taking a toy, she might have called the kid a brat. But she would have never called a white kid any racial slur. This is racism plain and simple and it's disgusting to make excuses for it.

When the government starts promoting particular products, whether it's Goya beans or Teslas, there is a line being crossed. This administration is completely topsy-turvy.

They ALWAYS think DEI means hiring an inferior, less qualified person instead of the superior, more qualified white man.

That is because they cannot and will not believe any other race or sex could ever be equal to or better than the lowest white man.

They are certainly racist, they always have been and always will be. As far as I am concerned, every Republican is racist, and if they ever hire or appoint a POC or a woman, it's tokenism, not because they truly believe the hire is the best person for the job.

I'll move to it in a second. Protein with no need to slaughter animals would be so fantastic for the animals, the earth, and people.

I don't think that's right. She's been released on bond to house arrest; the charges still stand.

It's badly worded. She fell in a sinkhole while looking for her cat. She was found dead after 4 days. The headline could have been clearer if they'd included the words "while" and "has been". *Grandmother who fell down a sinkhole while looking for her cat has been found dead. *

The cat may be dead, but the headline doesn't say so.

I think the headline states the grandmother was found dead, after falling down a sinkhole while searching for her cat.

If 3 patrol cars speed through town with lights flashing and sirens blaring anytime anyone needs a manager's phone number, that's even worse, sheriff.

Over a freaking whopper! This was totally an abuse of power. I'd love to see what happened to make the employees feel so unsafe that they'd lock the doors.

Stalking. It was a typo.

If someone is attempting to use her card, maybe it's time to talk to police? That's illegal, right?
