  • INDUGOO: Wouldn't it be equally shallow and self-centered for people to decide the lives of others simply because they are the majority? How would the gay life style be a burden to Californians other then them being exposed to gay wedding every now and again?

  • I'm not trying to excuse or mitigate their choice of actions. From what can be seen from the video, the officer wanted to strike. I am trying to understand the girl's actions.
