    You missed the guy threatening a black man in his own neighborhood, and you want me to rely on your perception?

    At any rate, private pile of shit needs to be tossed out of the military, and go find a rock to hide under. I hope people are protesting his home and employers for the rest of his life. Anyone who thinks that sort of behavior is correct is a problem. Hope corporal Karen's wife gets fired too.

    I don't know about Newsweek's ownership, but... the Church of Christ, Scientist being weird as fuck never stopped the Christian Science Monitor from being one of the best newspapers in the world.

    I wasn't playing anything. I read the story - some guy got charged with assault for threatening and shoving another guy. t happens every day all across America. Blacks do it to whites, whites do it to blacks, blacks do it to asians, etc. etc. Not really anything special about the story to be honest, other than the glaringly obvious FUBAR of the new rank of sergeant/captain.
    My advice would be not to overthink it.

    I didn't "miss it" I just wasn't focusing on the actual story so much as the cringe-worthy mistake of "sergeant/captain." That aside you are aware that black people physically assault white people too, right?
    All races assault members of other races every day, but it's not always on video. Regardless, consider some mental health counseling before you have a nervous breakdown or heart attack.

    Eh. I had a subscription to them in the mid-90s and I didn't find them to be remarkably better than any other newspapers. Contrast CSM with the Washington Times, which is owned by the Moonies, and they're basically Fox News in print form.

    Gosh, I dunno why OF would be watching Newsweek for his info:

    They play the same "let's ask questions" BS he does!

    https://crooksandliars.com/2021/04/mewsmax-host-dont-release-police-body-cam

    But when they get a military rank wrong, why that's a' whuppin'!! Even if the story is actually a black guy getting beat up.

    Annnnddddd I see he's already pulled the "black folk assault people too!!!" whiney, bullshit white-guy-watching-his-top-spot-in-the-world-slip-0.0001%-of-the-way-away crap.

    the article originally came from Newsweek I guess. But it's on other places too on the web. Are you shocked that all races assault & berate all other races? Maybe that doesn't happen in your country.
    But for some reason it's much, much more newsworthy when a white assaults a black rather than the other way around. I don't know why that is, maybe the media experts can explain it.

    Your explanations are much more entertaining.

    but are they wrong? If you think so, factually dispute them. I'm guessing your explanation would be pretty fucking entertaining to me. See how that works?

    Anyway, the suspended private parts for his racist rant.

    OF better hope the military doesn't ever read WF or his toilet scrubbing days are over. The real reason OF is nervous about a crackdown on racists in the army is he won't be able to sniff the bowl after a good old MRE toilet bombing.
