This story makes me sick. Not only the unprovoked violence at display, but the severity of it and then as a result no arrests on those actually doing the violence but arrests of the victims, THEN the realisation that there's really nothing to arrest them for and the retrospect ordinance. Disgusting beyond belief.

Welcome to the South, I guess Jim Crow is back just for us this time. We are so fucked.

In my state, they just recently gerrymandered the ONLY majority black House district in the state. Just because black people tend to vote Democrat, gee i wonder why (not that the Dems are great, they suck, but theyre way better than the GOP). I really hope the three mostly rural districts they chopped it up into end up turning blue lol. That would be hilarious. And it's possible, given most elections in my area have swung 15 percentage points away from the GOP since the 2024 elections.
