> [@Boyo\_Jim](#): > > Because MOL is mean enough to make jokes about cops being killed, which absolutely ISN’T and can’t be funny. It’s true, cops aren’t people and are held to a different standard of post-mortem humor. This is shown in the landmark Cop’s Rights documentary, “Reservoir Dogs.” “Did you kill anybody?” “Just some cops.” “No real people?” “No, just cops.” ---

I came in to defend MoL. Not that she can’t handle herself. I love her. I’d like, keep her as a pet and poke her occasionally to see her get mad. Don’t worry, MoL, I’d take good care of you. 😛 ---

Well done, sir. I don’t get this kind of thing. If you’re going to read the Dope, you should _already_ be logged on, shouldn’t you? I mean, even if it’s just so you can avoid the ads? ---
