Seriously. What on earth could a 3 yr old do to “warrant” a gun to the chest???

Apparently they were in the process of arresting her mother (whom they beat while handcuffed, naturally), also pointed the gun at the head of the child’s grandmother, and pointed the gun at her when she did what any toddler would do and started wailing. The incident gave her one of the worst cases of child PTSD the expert they assigned has ever seen and she’ll need therapy well into her adult years. 

Anyone with even a passing knowledge of gun safety knows that you do not point a gun at anyone you are not willing to kill. So best case scenario these officers were grossly incompetent and worst case they were willing to kill a child for crying. This settlement is the least they deserve.

You know, in retrospect, having gay marriage as a debate topic when I was the only openly gay kid in class was SUPER WEIRD. Imagine if you walked into AP Gov and your teacher pointed at you like, “I don’t think Brian should have health insurance because he sucks. Discuss?”

I can’t even fathom what I would do if I had to write an essay about how I should be able to take a piss in peace.

the fact so many people have a fondness for kirby as a character despite never having played or even been interested in playing one of his games really goes to show how good a design he is

He wasn’t even supposed to have his own game. He was supposed to be a filler until they made the main character but the game devs became so fond of Kirby that they just made him the main character

hes shaped like a friend

fosters home for imaginary friends was an awful dystopia and no one talks about it at all

just a few things established in the fosters universe

  • imaginary friends are sentient people and everyone can see them
  • 8 years old is considered too old to have an imaginary friend
  • a large amount of imaginary friends get thrown out on the street legally. At several points they talk about how they had nowhere to go and just wandered around. In Good Wilt Hunting you see a neighborhood full of imaginary friends that live on the street
  • this is such an issue there’s shelter(s). there’s absolutely political debates about this.
  • imaginary friends have rights, but not the same rights as humans (they can hold jobs and need passports and such but they can be confiscated/held as property and apparently killed without any legal issues) 
  • babies imagine abstract, swarming friends, kids imagine normal friends, anyone older tends towards violent monsters that have to be locked up to keep them from attacking people
  • at one point, someone imagines a friend and eats it because they’re hungry

  • this is all just treated as facts of life
