Remember that off-duty cop that shot a man in his own apartment?

Turns out part of the reason she was so distracted is because she was busy flirting with her ex. :lol:

I really hope no one on that jury lets her off for this. I don't care how tired or distracted someone is, this particular mistake involved entering someone else's home and killing them when confronted about it.

Is this more of that "women are privileged in our society" bullshit that Libertarians subscribe to? I'll have you know, you could spin-doctor a strong case going back to the 1910s for women being privileged in our society. Before Feminism, even what people who like to rationalize was the "best time" that Feminists got actual egalitarian treatment for women, was even a thing. No, I'm focusing my criticism where it belongs as to egalitarianism, like community property.

What does any of this have to do with what he said? Like really, point out what part of AdX's post that has to do with the rhetoric you're talking about.

Woman cop. And I've known many right-of-center Libertarians. They ALL believe women are privileged in our society.

What does the subject of this thread have to do with her gender?

I am fairly confident that Admiral X, like other Libertarians I've known, think women are very privileged in our society.

Still waiting on what that has to do with this thread.

No. This is "COPS are privileged in our society"...which they undeniably are, at least when it comes to the justice system. Prosecutors almost never attempt to bring cops to justice, and even when they do, juries almost never convict them. Let's hope this trial is the exception to the rule.

I am not sure if this is right thing to do but this time I am giving him benefit of doubt. I don't usually do that with him so I hope that he doesn't end up doing what Yuka is expecting him to do.
