      They went on to monetize the shit out of their hate crime with several fox news appearances.

      Absolutely garbage people and a failure of the justice system.

          As he should have. I live in this shit hole state and it’s a very small victory that he didn’t win.

          I also read an article detailing a bit about his life and he’s an absolute piece of shit. He sued his sibling(s) to get the full inheritance when their parents died, and he cut off his other family from it once he got it.

          Deplorable: deserving strong condemnation, shockingly bad in quality.

          Describes exactly how bad they suck.

          Doesn’t say they are not human people, just that they’re the kind of human people we deplore.

            At the risk of more downvotes, all I was saying is that blanketing a whole group of people in a term such as “deplorables” is a slippery slope to not seeing them as human at all. Not saying they don’t deserve to be described that way.

            I understand that its a term people use to describe others and that its been used in recent history for these exact people but that doesn’t make it not dehumanizing. My point is just that there should be “people” following “deplorable.” Maybe I was caught up in the semantics of the phrase but it was on my mind seeing garbage people changed to simply deplorables.

    Even with a “clean” record they still shouldn’t get their guns back. Ignoring all second amendment arguments just look at how they are holding their guns in the main picture. They are in no way trained or even given half assed knowledge in how to hold a fire arm.

      So having your bigger hook on the bang switch of your tiny-ass gun while you and your mayonnaise husband cosplay as Rihanna and Shy Ronnie isn’t the right way to go about things, you’re saying?

    I feel like American gun control as it is now would actually be effective if the cops stopepd giving the white criminals their guns back, or in some cases actually take them away when the law says they should.

    You can put whatever law you want on the books, but if the PDs aren’t going to enforce it the way they haven’t been enforcing what we already have, its not gonna do shit. They’ll definitely enforce it on some types of people though.

    Judge Joseph P. Whyte wrote in an order Wednesday that the purpose of an expungement is to give people who have rehabilitated themselves a second chance

    Sounds like people should test that theory by having a protest in front of their house and see what they do.

    Also:

    City prosecutors and police opposed the expungements.

    Oh my God, these people are so horrible they found a way to unite cops and BLM protesters.
