With the Eric Garner verdict coming down yesterday, the expected commentary started showing up on social media. It really is shocking how people don't see how their posts condemning Garner come across as offensive/racist/insensitive... basically exposing them for the racist douche bags they are. This post is going to take some time to put together in order to do it justice.... John stewart said it perfectly today: "If comedy is tragedy plus time, I just don't have enough fucking time... but really, I'd prefer to have less tragedy". Amen.
In any event, for tomorrow I'm going to be looking to put together a list of advice for anyone going to peacefully protest. I've talked to a few friends from the OWS protests, one of them being a medic, so it should be a pretty good list.
Until then, sweet dreams internet.
Cheers,
Chris
