@mcgee_gorgo how many reasons do you want? is there a historicist time limit? Here’s one, which may contain all others: Ronald Reagan. – 12:01 AM GMT
@RbtKing @ericweddle I don’t even know where to start. Your premise appears to be that without faith patrols there would be war. Try again? – 12:13 AM GMT
@RbtKing @ericweddle and even though there will be faith patrols, war might yet go down. Also, Black Expo. – 12:14 AM GMT
@RbtKing @ericweddle don’t live in Indy. I grew up in Indiana. I am sure you don’t intend your words to carry the freight they do to me. – 12:17 AM GMT
@RbtKing @ericweddle I’m aware there’s been a raft of shootings affecting and mostly involving black residents of Indianapolis this year. – 12:19 AM GMT
@RbtKing @ericweddle I’m guessing your tweet previews black church-affiliated outreach groups seeking to encourage black and urban kids… – 12:21 AM GMT
@RbtKing @ericweddle to, like, not shoot each other w/ specific respect to a primarily black event, Black Expo. Reporting this is important. – 12:22 AM GMT
@RbtKing @ericweddle but the phrasing of the tweet presumes failure of the effort and casts that failure as war. Please make a note of it. – 12:24 AM GMT
And in conclusion, arrgh. – 12:25 AM GMT
@ericweddle @RbtKing fair enough, absolutely correct. hadn’t heard the word in that context due to distance from Indy. Thanks for followup. – 02:49 AM GMT

The confluence of that dude’s full-court cop-violence book flogging on Salon and the Martin verdict brought an anecdote to mind. – 10:43 PM GMT
Disclosure and background: I have old high-school buddies and in-laws who are cops. This is something I find very, very weird. – 10:44 PM GMT
That is because I had any number of negative interactions with police as an adolescent. Nothing heinous involving beatings or guns, mind. – 10:45 PM GMT
at any rate, my behavioral programming is to avoid interacting with the police if at all possible & to regard them as untrustworthy actors. – 10:46 PM GMT
So years ago, I was riding across town with my six-and-a-half-foot white buddy, who grew up on a farm in Washington State. Good dude. – 10:48 PM GMT
We pulled into our destination’s parking lot, and noticed a hubbub of thirty or so kids, all flocking around some sort of teenage face-off. – 10:50 PM GMT
Just as we were processing this, a Seattle police car turned into the lot and the kids all started to scatter. – 10:50 PM GMT
One kid turned away to run around the corner of the building. I saw him pull out a handgun. I shouted “He’s got a gun!” to my friend. – 10:52 PM GMT
My friend did not believe me at first. By the time I had convinced him, the kid had come back around the corner, sauntering exaggeratedly. – 10:54 PM GMT
It was obvious he’d ditched the gun in case he got frisked. My buddy, now convinced of the gun, stepped out of his car and waved his arms. – 10:55 PM GMT
The cop noticed and looked at us. My buddy pointed at the corner of the building and THEN WENT INTO A SHOOTER’S CROUCH AIMING AT THE COP. – 10:55 PM GMT
I yelled “WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING” and tried to jump on his arms to knock them down, passing between the cop and my buddy as I did so. – 10:56 PM GMT
He turned to me, angry and confused that, from his perspective, I had just tried to attack him. We had an animated and profane conversation. – 10:57 PM GMT
Lots of pointing and yelling. The cop seemed to have actually processed his pantomime as intended, THANK GOD, and went to check the corner. – 10:58 PM GMT
She emerged with the gun held carefully away from her side, and we decided we were good to go, so we drove off, still yelling at each other. – 11:00 PM GMT
I literally couldn’t believe he felt so confident in his interaction with the officer that he could literally drop into a shooter’s stance. – 11:01 PM GMT
He couldn’t believe that I regard police officers as a deadly threat to avoid. It was, and remains, an amazing and scary memory. – 11:02 PM GMT

piror redirect tweet – in regard to upcoming Ender’s Game film. Film’s producers assert book, etc., has zero to do with OSC’s homophobia. – 07:26 AM GMT
This is false. The book is a detailed examination of the experiential and political psychology of child abuse. Abuse, in book, is military. – 07:28 AM GMT
doesn’t take a military scientist to see act of genocide at heart of Ender’s Game is metaphorically the betrayal of trust in child abuse. – 07:31 AM GMT
many victims of child abuse imprint & repeat. it’s this behavior which has been historically generalized & demonized as homosexuality. – 07:34 AM GMT
it’s also clearly the precise form of predatory child abuse endemic in certain communities of religious authority. – 07:36 AM GMT
It’s no stretch of interpretation to see that OCS’s homophobia and Ender’s Game itself are reactions to this specific form of child abuse. – 07:38 AM GMT
I have no interest in the film or the book, despite enjoying it as a child. – 07:39 AM GMT
it in itself constitutes child abuse perpetrated by a helpless puppet, a slave to self-loathed desires. Break the cycle, skip the film. – 07:41 AM GMT
