ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Bringing up race is not constructive. This post is waste of time, useless, empty rhetoric, petty and extremely uncalled for. D.U.'ers deserve better.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Feb 13, 2016, 10:12 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: booboo
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The post is hilarious. Get a life.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: somebody has a quick trigger finger on the alert button, this is satire, meant to poke fun at Republicans, this alert is petty.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I thought it was hilarious. Leave it alone.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Don't agree with the alerter's opinion.
