Star Athlete High School Teens Arrested For Waiting For A School Bus While Black
The student athletes in question were off from school for the day, but had agreed to participate in a basketball scrimmage at the school, but were arrested while waiting for the bus. Their crime? Being black in public.
Hey, did you hear about those 3 white guys on the Duke Lacrosse team who raped that black girl? Did you hear about that 15 year old black girl who was raped by six white men and put in a trash bag with racial epithets written on her feces smeared body?
Yeah... both hoaxes.
So I'll withhold judgment until more facts are presented.
First, it would depend upon the situation; the military doesn't use the M-16 as 'standard' anymore; they use specific arms for specific tasks, an evolution of the rifle squad.
To rephrase it in a manner w/o nits for you to pick... they can be just as corrupt as anyone else (after all, the gov't is made up of people). And they have the muscle.
