This innocent kid had a pen in his hand, was excited about his graduation and ended up dead just a few hours before it just because one of the cops thought Tommy had a knife in his hand, but it was a pen. He killed Tommy because of a FREAKING PEN. How do you justify that?
It’s also hard to watch his story not getting as much attention it deserves. He deserves justice and cops should pay for their brutality.
Even if it was a knife was he threatening anyone? Are people not allowed to cut open packages anymore?
What happened to “Hey you over there, stop?”
How on earth can anyone excuse using a gun to kill a kid especially before asking what the fuck is in his hand?
If you want to look at this and utter that horrid mantra “but he should have…” tell me, he should have what? Lived his entire life acting as innocent and non-threatening as possible? Had the psychic ability to know when the cop was going to shoot at him and put up his hands shouting “I’m not armed”? Not existed in the fucking pig’s line of sight?
Please reach into your senseless ass and tell me exactly what matrix-esque move this poor kid would have to pull to not be deserving of death in your eyes.
This is a Police Execution. They put this kid on death row without a trial or chance to appeal. For holding a pen.
Is this really the society you want to live in?
I’m not sure if alt-ed means he was going through special education, (not sure if this is ableist to use. If there is a better term, let me know and I’ll correct it) but if it’s so, it’s another case of neurodivergent person (especially neurodivergent Poc) getting shot for showing symptoms in public.
Also, not too related, but I’m really glad to see black-and-asian solidarity on race issues once again. Dividing POCs into “model minority” is preservation tactics by white supremacists and I’m glad we can start to (once again) see through it and band together.
one time alexander the great rode dick for 8 hours and then spent 8 hours the next day riding a horse, and that’s why i believe bottoms deserve more credit
Except no, he didn’t. There is no evidence anywhere that says Alexander the Great was gay. What historical reference says that? His multiple wives maybe? His many children born to them? Or whatever delusion you’ve cooked up to pass your own opinion?
honey , i’m not spending an extra year in uni to get a classics degree not to respond to this directly
i) alexander had one (1) unborn child at the time of his death, because he only, miserably, managed to knock up one of his three (3) wives after his boyfriend died
–> had alexander produced more than ONE (1) child, the hellenistic age would not have been defined by the fallout caused by his generals warring to decide a successor, ultimately destroying his empire and arguably sending everyone from macedon to modern-day palestine into a cultural dark age
ii) macedonian kings took multiple wives to secure succession, a political move that alexander resisted despite the urging of both antipater and olympias (i’ll let you google them on your own time) for almost an literal
decade
– > there’s an anecdote found in the curtius , your “historical reference” – you can google his dates – about alexander’s parents sending him a hooker because they were afraid he didn’t … how do i say it nicely? wanna fuck women
it’s absolutely true that you can’t say alexander was gay; that’s grossly reductive, because sexuality didn’t exist by modern definition in ancient times. more, alexander DID bone a woman, willingly, at one point – a satrap’s (google that) wife, named barsine, with whom he may or may not have produced a bastard child called heracles. getting dicked down doesn’t negate wanting to dick another down, an interesting concept that you would be familiar with if you took a quick jaunt out of that homophobic bubble wrap you’ve duct-taped yourself into. we also can’t FOR SURE 100% conclusively say that alexander and hephaestion boned; but plutarch, curtius, and diodorus are some notable biographers who delve into detail about alexander’s life-long, likely romantic connection to his right hand man, who he mourned so excessively at the time of his death that there was hardly a dime left for alexander’s own funeral. they didn’t make that shit up – you can google what source criticism is, but some of THEIR sources included ptolemy i soter and callisthenes – oof, more people for you to google! modern scholars from reames to borza to müller to green assume that he was getting dicked down for the above reasons, too!
at last, i shall acknowledge that my Humour Post refers to lucian (pro lapsu inter salutandum 8), who has some wink-wink-nudge-nudge content concerning who slept in whose tent when, but who wants to retread old ground? here’s another one of my favorites instead:
323 was the year of alexander’s death (historical!), but even if lucian made all of this up, as this scholar seems to nudge at, it’s still quite telling that a cultural memory and historical tradition that the romans associated with alexander included his love of massive, throbbing cocks, non?
people who share your dreadfully uninformed and outdated opinion include, if i’m not mistaken, a handful of stodgy greek lawyers, a man named william woodthorpe tarn, and helmut berve. tarn was an imperialist, and berve? a literal nazi.
I’m sorry but I just had to reblog this. This is a fucking epic beatdown.
Trans lives matter more than cis feelings.
Gay lives matter more than straight feelings.
Black lives matter more than white feelings.
Nothing in this world is going to change that. Learning to be an ally is learning to deal with feeling uncomfortable. Its learning how to shut your mouth and listen. Its learning to step down and let a minority raise their voice.
I don’t care if you get your feelings hurt in the process of learning to be an ally. It isn’t about you.
