Is there even enough space to do "donuts" on that road?

Is there even enough space to do "donuts" on that road?

Yes, but the accused is black. That counts as compelling evidence, doesn't it? It apparently counted as compelling evidence for multiple people in this thread.

You mean there is enough space?

You mean there is enough space?

Yes. You just have to do them slowly and carefully.

Simply using phrases like "political correctness" or "social justice warrior" is like putting a big stamp on your forehead telling everyone that you're a racist and very upset that people call you out on it.

What terms would you prefer? What do you call it when somebody uses race or gender or sexual orientation to claim "oppression" regardless of what actually has happened, in a way to avoid personal responsibility or silence critics? Do you think that never happens? When it does happen, what do you call it? And what do you call it when somebody brings up race or turns everything racial even when race is very likely not a factor? I'm sure you don't think think that happens often, but do you have a word for it when it does?

My underwear has more convincing skid marks than the photo. WTF, were these pics taken with a 1990's Nokia ? LOL ! Reallly, get a grip.

To respond to your argument less sarcastically, do you have any idea how weak your argument sounds? The evidence is not compelling to you solely because you are desperate to reject a certain conclusion. Obviously, a judge thought the evidence was more than good enough to throw the case out.

More important, remember where the onus of proof is. The photo is crappy and may be useless to prove anything, but it isn't the accused that needs to prove anything, right? Is he guilty until proven innocent?

If car skids sideway you can get something like that. it can also be photoshop.

Or the whole thing is a fabrication, he just used a convenient picture.

So LP has evolved the situation into a conspiracy, a case that never happened.

What terms would you prefer?

No terms. Rather talk about what is... not what someone wants to call it.

What do you call it when somebody uses race or gender or sexual orientation to claim "oppression" regardless of what actually has happened, in a way to avoid personal responsibility or silence critics?

I'd call it "what the people who came up with the SJW term are doing".

Do you think that never happens?

I'll start calling that the Derec Fallacy.

When it does happen, what do you call it? And what do you call it when somebody brings up race or turns everything racial even when race is very likely not a factor? I'm sure you don't think think that happens often, but do you have a word for it when it does?

I'm a little more interested in how a teen gets charged with doing something that apparently there was no evidence he actually did and had to hire a lawyer to get the charge dropped.
