@ai6yr can't believe nobody's mentioned that the protest movement Hall and his partner were infiltrating was a protest against the acquittal of a white cop for shooting a black man.
@ai6yr We got us an effed-up society here. Don’t know the answer . . . well I have some ideas, but the fact that money rules Amerikka, tells me that empathy and fairness are pretty low on the list of operating criteria. Hey, at least I get to communicate with Ben occasionally. 😉
@tala Good call, looks like it was against one of the guys who beat him up (got $5.5M from the city), so unlikely to collect much/any of that, I suppose.
@paninid Update: looks like the judgement was against one of the guys who beat him up. (which means he won't collect much... but at least the guy who beat him up was found liable).
@ai6yr Many moons ago, a friend and I went out to Malibu to volunteer at a judo summer camp thing for blind kids. I’m not saying, but all I know is when we got off the freeway in Malibu, We right away got pulled over. Mind you, all these other cars were just blowing past us, but the Honda Civic with the black guy and Mexican dude are the ones on the side of the road getting grilled by the police asking where were we going, what we were doing, where we were coming from etc. I went into full-blown Stevie Wonder/Ray Charles mode with my cane in my lap and trying to look as harmless as possible. I feel as though that was at least worth $500 right there.
