This is a solid argument if you’ve both never been on a NY subway and are afraid of black people.

Jordan Neely** didn’t have a weapon, so there was no reason for violence let alone lethal violence.

I finally got a flu shot.

I’ve been trying for months. This isn’t the first time administrative bullshit + my health issues have resulted in delays.
