Reply to comment by drr71-2 in Car stolen, crashed with baby in back seat in Northeast DC; 14-year-old suspect arrested by drr71-2

How about we don't refer to people as "animals?" People who commit crimes are still people so unless you're looking for capital punishment for these crimes, dehumanizing language is unnecessary.

Was wondering who felt the need to make this virtual signaling comment then saw you unironically defending Stalin in a different comment

I guess it is derogatory to animals to refer to these fucks that way.....animals are usually nicer to their own species. These fucks committing these horrible crimes are a liability to society. Perhaps you would feel differently if that was your baby in the back seat of the car that was crashed by the trash that committed this crime....but if anyone acts less than human and has no regard for the life of someone else's helpless infant as they crash the car they stole, then it's not really dehumanizing language since they're not really behaving like humans....are they?

Nope, they aren’t civilized which means they are just behaving like animals. Which they are, biologically speaking.
