Whose organization? If you don't have the decency to use someone's chosen pronouns, at least stick with a last name, or 'suspect' even, I guess. It's less confusing that way.

The name of his organization was Pride.
No indication it was at all violent.
It is as I suspect you can figure out a gay rights organization.

Do you make a habit of dishonoring the dead? Or ignoring the plights of anyone different than you?

You're now choosing to be a bastard, even though I gave you a very clear and easy out to avoid it. That's a shame, Bama.

I was doing no such thing.
You asked me to name the organization to make it easier to follow. I did.
I made the point that they were non-violent, how can that be insulting.
And then I gave you credit to be able to figure out what their focus was without
a detailed explanation. That was hardly insulting.
You must not have read my post completely wrong.

Of course it does Bama, they could have had stun guns, plastic bullets, mace, "you name it", and tasers.


There are many alternatives to bullets these days, wish I could invent more alternatives.

So, yeah, you are.

I never asked the name of an organization. Your usage of the pronoun 'his' was what I was questioning. The only one in the story that self identified as male was the cop.

The student was male but identified himself as "gender fluid" I referred to him as male so those
who read the story wouldn't be confused. He was the president of Pride so it was his organization.
We still just have a misunderstanding, I did not insult anyone.

It isn't an insult to you, so it's fine, and no one has the right to call you out on it.

One more time, Bama, If you don't have the decency to use someone's chosen pronouns, at least stick with a last name, or 'suspect' even, I guess. It's less confusing that way.

Of the two people directly involved in the shooting, only one would choose to respond to 'him', 'his', or 'he', and he's still alive to be able to. And I'm certainly not the only one that would say so.

Now, imagine the howls and gnashing of teeth if three or four burly cops had taken down this goblin and had to wail on him to get the weapon taken away?

To add to this, we have more female cops now. Female cops are not able to do take-downs of goblins like male cops are able to.

I am going to break precedent here and defend Bama. I have never in my life heard the phrase "If you don't have the decency to use some one's chosen pronouns......" And here you are talking about a dead person. Whether he chose "they" as his mandatory pronoun is mote now because he is dead and legally he is just a body; he has no rights. The issue here is his death and the reason for his death and the action of the idiot cop. Otherwise, Bama was using common and accepted convention in his writing. It has nothing to do with respect. He did not disrespect the dead kid. Your chastising Bama is off topic and petty. Pronouns here, you're talking about pronouns while the life blood drains out of the kid's corpse. Shameful and trivial.

At least we're moving to this a half step at a time.

Once we move on from the "You're Fired!" to the "You're Shot in the Head!" reality shows, we'll be getting somewhere, and the country will be better.

Your point seems to be that outright murder is more acceptable, and in fact necessary, if there otherwise be any hint of injustice as the event plays out.

Shots to center mass, to make the lefties happy, is that it? That's your argument for the whole affair?

You don't think that maybe dealing with assholes that didn't give a fuck about pronouns might have had a damn thing to do with him walking up to an armed officer screaming "Shoot me!"??

Granted, you may be an insensitive fuck on such things, but for those that aren't, the improper usage of "him" & "his" was confusing as hell.
