26 year old woman ... I totally didn't see that. I don't think the article mentioned her party affiliation but I think we can all guess.
A 26 year old black female, the exact opposite of who i had figured.
"The name of the woman was released early Friday morning. Atlanta Police identified her as 26-year-old Laneisha Shantrice Henderson." (From the article)
I don't know her party affiliation. Sometimes people have reasons the rest of us cannot understand, it's not always political.
I use Boost for Lemmy in Swipe-mode (android). Linked articles are embedded so you don't have to open and accept cookies and whatnot to read what the post is about.
Dude I didn't know Boost existed for lemmy! Boost getting canned is the reason I quit reddit. Thanks for the plug!
That's very cool! Do you (or anyone else that wants to answer) know if Sync has a similar feature?
"Democrats are the party of slavery and Jim Crow! Anyway I'm gonna go burn down MLKs childhood home."
Why? Just because they're young and have a vagina doesn't mean they're immune from bigotry
It doesn't, I'm just pointing out my own bias.
Eh, statistics aren't infallible
