Lefta Dissenter
(6,622 posts)I always wonder why people I like have the audacity to leave shows that I enjoy, and I find myself resentful over their life choices. I mean, where are your priorities, for petes sake? 🤷🏼♀️
Aristus
(66,468 posts)Why do they subordinate our enjoyment of their appearances on TV to their own personal choices?

(34,079 posts)(i don't get cable news like cnn or msnbc--so i watch the 9 & 10 o'clock local news)
just saw a couple stories on the 13 yr old that was killed
about a thousand people in streets of chgo tonight protesting
and a video from the scene showed that once other cops arrived to try and help the child, the cop who shot him moved away from what was happening, sat down, and began sobbing.
(i'd fucking be sobbing too--)
from my understanding he had never shot anyone while on duty before--first time i heard that.
