LawTalkers - Missing the Paigow (et al.) [sniff]

What about these facts change if the recipient is human? Say, a homeless person who probably hasn't thought too much about purchasing a mink to keep warm?

I know it must happen, but has anyone seen one of these stories that didn't involve a black man?

In Canada it happens to white people. So yes, I have seen one of these stories that didn't involve a black man. But not here.

I have been pondering going to the Constant Gardener (showing at location convenient to me) -- dull is bad, though. Is Syriana really really political? Or is it possible to ignore the political aspects?

The movie selection near me generally sucks. I need to move in with ncs and Mr. Man.

Yes. When it happens to a white man, he gets a 15 minute piece on 48 Hours or Dateline or somesuch. I'm shocked you didn't know this.

I saw one of these in the last year about a guy in prison for rape of a little girl who was later freed based on DNA. The little girl, who was his stepdaughter or niece or something, had recanted that it was him (her testimony put him away), but until they had the DNA evidence, they couldn't let him out, so he was in prison for an extra 15 years or so until they finally got around to testing the DNA.

Come on. You're not even trying. Guilt by association. Like those poor dachsunds. Humans killed that mink, not the squirrels.
And besides, I'm not PETA. Ask Sunny to clarify, I'm just saying that it's a possible reason.

Come on, you know Canada doesn't count. Instead of going to China, you guys come down here and adopt unwanted black babies.

Counterpoint. You get the [white] guy from Virginia who swore up and down he was innocent up until the time they fried him in 1992. Anti-Chair advocates for years lamented the death of an innocent man.

DNA tests earlier this month proved he was guilty as sin.

If the question wasn't, "Wasn't Harry's daughter, Shari, just ridiculously hot when you were growing up?" he would have to get punched in the fucking mouth.

Yes. How about the guy in Wisconsin who recently was the first person freed in Wisconsin by DNA testing for not committing a rape 15 years ago, only to rape, murder and burn in an oil drum my sister's friend 6 months later? A ringing endorsement for the whole process.

That, my friend, is not a counterpoint. When people are wrongly accused, wrongly charged and wrongly sentenced, bringing up an example of someone who said he was innocent when he wasn't doesn't exactly mean shit.

If black men weren't seen as guiltier the darker they are and if they weren't interchangeable to so many witnesses and cops, I'd give you some leeway. But until that point comes, suck it long and hard.
