12 perfectly legal things that we can all agree should be felonies

1. Pushing a dog in a stroller.

2. Boarding the subway/T/metro/train before everyone who is clearly getting off has gotten off.

3. Entering an elevator before everyone who is clearly getting off has gotten off.

4. Pedicures on public transit (Specifically the use of a foot file to remove dead skin. I've seen it happen.)

5. Sleeping with socks on.

6. A silent fart on an elevator.

7. Getting up from the window seat on a plane within 5 minutes of beverages being served.

8. Not checking behind you to see if a door should be held.

9. The unprovoked murder of an unarmed or non-threatening black person.

10. Wearing a non-form-fitting hat at concerts/movies/shows.

11. Not acknowledging when someone lets you merge in traffic (with words, a wave, a wink… anything will do).

12. Stopping a microwave before the time expires and not clearing it.

"Why can't they face the simple fact that you simply can't give one bunch of men the license to kill another bunch without punishment, without opening themselves up to being victims? The high as well as the low? Why can't they realize that when they dull their senses to the killing of one group of men they dull themselves to the preciousness of all human life? Yes, and why can't they realize that when they allow one group of men the freedom to kill us as evidence of their own superiority they're only setting the stage so that these killers will have to widen the game..." - Ralph Ellison
