I didn't mention numbers

One state

I think you got lost on the way to /c/preschool where they teach you what numbers are.

My first comment said "Missouri speaks for the entire US now?" where exactly did I say one state? What hallucinogenic are you on right now?

Missouri is one state. Even if you listed multiple states your point is still shit.

Yes, it is, however, even a three-year-old who can read would see that I wrote Missouri not one state.

BTW Mr Anus, I neither care what you think of my point nor where you stick it.

A three year old couldn't read what you wrote but they could probably understand that there are 50 states and Missouri is ONE of them. You're arguing semantics because you got blasted for your stupid comments. Have a cookie.

They couldn't? Some of the kids that were in pre-school when I was could but I'm a stupid boomer so what do I know....

No, they might know simple words like "in" but they're not reading sentences.

Either way, people do judge the actions of countries based on single states, districts, whatever. If I was a black person looking to travel to America I may reconsider after reading about Marcellus. I definitely wouldn't go to missurah. Just like we all judge other countries based on the actions of their governments. The point is, another potentially innocent black person was murdered by the government. If the death penalty is for resolution for the victims and they're completely against it, and the evidence used to convict is flawed, why the fuck would you kill someone? Do you think this would have happened if Marcellus was white? They're telling us they're in charge and our lives do not matter and they'll kill us to prove that point. But I'm just an angry black dude I guess.
