I actually mostly followed the US news, check the New York Times: Trump daily dose of blatant racist, Obama apparently the only one who wants to curb gun violence, some cop murdered a African-American women and gets away with a slap on the wrist, a story about systemic rape from a football team at a major US university…
- chasing 11y agoThis is what I mean by "cherry-picking."
- bertil 11y agoThen, please go and insult the editor-in-chief of the New York Times — not me. What I cherry-picked was how my brother left the US after an arrest in the nearby house involved law-enforcement firing 12,000 rounds at a single crouching suspect, and they had to leave because his wife and two kids couldn’t sleep after that; how the CEO of the start-up I was working for was mugged; how my closest friend was victim of an extreme-rendition at the border after he showed a hand-written letter by the Dean of Harvard inviting him to teach; how my manager had his passport confiscated… I know work with a team that is partially in Chicago: do I need to say more? The twelve people the closest to me who went to the US all had beyond traumatic experiences. Imagining anything involving a prosecutor like the one portrayed there just sends shivers through my spine.
