I've decided it's "Beat Up on EccieUser Day." You've been gone from the forum for far too long so now it's time to catch up on the abuse.
Here are three important points.
1. You do not want to be the egg to The Waco Kid's Chicken. That would mean you're the Son of The Waco Kid. That would also mean that some rooster planted his seed inside The Waco Kid to create an EccieUser embryo. That thought's going to give me nightmares tonight.
2. The original data for The Waco Kid's chart would have come from the Washington Post's database of fatal police shootings. You can find out more here if so inclined:

3. To refresh your memory, I directed a thread at you, something like "To EccieUser, why BLM is misguided." You strongly disagreed. The whole thing with George Floyd makes me believe that more. Yes, it was a travesty. Yes, Chauvin was exceedingly reckless and deserves to be punished, although we can reasonably disagree to what extent. But how big of a deal was it in the scheme of things? Well, not big enough so that CNN and MSNBC should have been covering it 10 hours a day, every day, for what seems like weeks. BLM could provide much more benefit to society if it concentrated more on changes in education, health care, and the criminal justice system that would improve the lives of millions of black Americans. Instead it's micro-focused on the 250 black lives lost at the hands of police annually. Yeah, we should be working to bring down actual cases of abuse, like George Floyd. However people need to think about the bigger picture.
