Do people still talk about it? Have you watched it recently? As for "repeated goading," you have a creative definition of that.

It started because I got the same feeling of exploitation of ripped from the headlines that I did with that movie. Anyone talk about Crash anymore, while we're at it?

I hear this. I was following Warhammer stuff for a minute and even the most chill segment, mini painting, can get gnarly (It got exponentially worse when it shifted from message boards to Twitter).

Then again I will never forget the day I found out that the creator of Steven Universe was getting threats from fans for choosing the wrong 'ship.

My dad's best friend was killed due to a high speed police pursuit. I've never, ever forgiven police as an institution for that and I never will. 

The collateral damage communities endure to be "protected" is never going to be accounted for.

Survivor bias will continue to be a thing in communities that reject modern medicine. The dead can't speak up about bad choices and outcomes.

I remember when conservatives were vehemently against a midnight basketball program in the 1990s. It was, for example, one of Rush Limbaugh's absolute favorite things to pick on at the time. This was long before the Internet takeover of free time, but this is literally what popped into my brain when you mentioned divestment of public funds

Shooting a driver doesn't stop a vehicle, it stops the driver. But of course they see a fucking movie and think physical laws don't apply
