This piece of shit couldn't fight a 15 year old with a hoe? What a coward. One gut punch and the kid would have folded like a lawn chair.
kids a buck fifty soaking wet, looks all of 5'5 from the pictures, and the family wasn't helping. Did you kill all of those "15 year old thugs"? seems like we might have heard about you if you were as much of a coward as this cop
If I encounter a professional boxer in a bad mood, I would shit my pants. If another professional boxer encounters a professional boxer in a bad mood, they would shrug it off and deal with whatever happens.
Cops get trained. Being prepared for dangerous situations is essentially the core of their fucking job. Apparently, that preparation seems to be often simply "if shit gets ugly, shoot the shit out of whatever frightens you". Cops should be better at dealing with this than random citizens with a gun.
And your safe space is pointing a gun at someones face.
depends. if its goreing and maiming fucking sexist nazi pigs like you, then i would say its more noble. still not a fan of the death penalty, but defending a liberal society means standing up against filth like you.
No
wow, guys. Stop everything ! Apparently we live on planet Earth, and as you all know, that means we can't improve things or point out abuse. Everyone go home ! nothing to see here. After all it's planet earth
fucking dimwit
Wow, racism mixed with sexism and slutshaming. you can be really proud of yourself man. go get therapy.
racism is racism, and sexism is also sexism. both are well defined, and both are in your comment. i don't care what color you have, because you already showed your fucked up thought processes. go crawl back into your swastika-decorated hole.
I imagine your ability to definitely determine parentage, i'm assuming through observation and research, got you moved to somewhere your observational talents could be better employed ?
No point in wasting that kind of talent on the streets fighting the statistically high percentage of 15 year old bodybuilding thugs and their mothers.
