Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Even if it wasn't a hate crime (which it was), it was still murder. The man should be arrested and tried for first-degree murder, regardless of his ethnicity, or his racism or lack thereof.

How could Z. have been threatened? He was in an SUV with a gun, on the phone with 911 telling him not to engage. The boy was on foot and unarmed. This is premeditated murder.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

ita !, can your repost the specs...stufff so I can show Dan? I've been looking for 15 minutes and I can't find your post.

Also, I would like to kick your resident in the shin. Several times. With steel-toes boots on.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Press...the one place I didn't look.

No, D says we don't need a switch. But he says thank you!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

bt, I hope you don't mind but I'm posting it to COMMA. Ryan is way too cute. I wish we could bottle up some of his adorableness and send it out to A) everyone who is hurting because it will make them happy even if it is just a fleeting moment, and 2) every assjangle on the planet because it should make their hearts grow three sizes like the Grinch's - and it'll fix their ass-jangliness.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

His first COMM! I'm very proud.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

T-N C specifically pointed out that it is less important what was in his heart than what he did.

actually, his state of mind can be crucial in escalating a charge from manslaughter to murder, or from an assault to a hate crime. There is also a common law concept called "imperfect self defense", which means that the defendant was truly afraid and acted in self defense, but a "reasonable man" would not have been afraid in those circumstances. I'm not sure that it could be used here, though.

Either way, he should have been brought in for questioning, because no matter what else, he shot an unarmed man in the street.
