You won't believe how much people gets hooked to this shit. And it's even weirder because these are all casual gamers that would pass on the chance of playing games like Sonic or Halo, which look complex but are really simple gameplay-wise. Yet they go and play games like mafia wars which involves lots of strategy (believe it or not) and can take you a long fucking time to get anywhere.
Anyway, I hope these assholes (the people behind the games) get what they deserve: they arent gamers, or game devs, just merely scammers: mafia wars is a rough copy of dope wars, a real game made in......wait for it.......1992! #zynga

"Absolutely not! Ew, just look it. Disgusting!"
"It'll get you real high."
"I got five on it." #weed

I say, give HIM custody over his parents and siblings: their family certainly can't fare any worse. #balloonboy

Or maybe I just dreamed that that's what you're suggesting.
Either way: do this now. #weed

Not excusing her, but it's really fucked up of the dad/husband to let it get so far as for her to be possibly deported because of all this. He's the one who needs to be punished fully out of all of this. And she needs to be away from him as much as the kids do. Seriously, almost everyone else interviewed who knew them just walked away from his bullshit but her - because she pretty much can't. I would like to see her as much as an abuse victim as those kids are, unable to defend themselves from his special crunchy sort of batshittery. #balloonboy

Yes, killing people is terrible. That's why we as a society need our blood vengeance... so that we can show people that killing people is wrong. #murder

Although I don't think this is a clear case of that bias since the white victim was prominent and well-liked in the community, and the brutality of the murder combined with the victim's visibility probably means that anyone convicted of it would face death. The statistic overall is telling, though. #murder

And that the divide is revealed when you look at the race of the victim is very telling indeed. I'll have to look out for info on that. Thanks! #murder

One of the dirty little secrets in law enforcement is crime reporting. For years, we have reported under Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR), which allows us to report only the most serious in a series of crimes. So, for example, a rape and robbery that end in murder are reported as a murder. The FBI is pushing hard to switch to NIBRS, which is National Incident Based Reporting System, which would count all three offenses in the above example. So, you're already comparing apples to oranges if you're looking at crime statistics, because you're probably looking at UCR vs. NIBRS. #murder
