It's Watch!... Neighborhood Watch. Not shoot.

Maybe while this new stable of minority journalists are waiting for the impending riots, they can investigate why young blacks are shunning baseball for other sports.

 

I'd like to know why they don't play hockey.

 

I'm sure they'll have plenty of time to do that before the riot begins. LOL. But seriously, in the past, there has been a push to have minorities on staff for such events.

 

Now that is a new one. I came of age right during the era of huge internship increases, many of them geared toward minorities. I guess I was naive enough to believe it was a way to get people "into the pipeline" and correct an underrepresentation that had gotten embarrassing for newspaper companies that like to call out governments and other companies for the same deficiencies.

Little did I know it was simply to have a coverage team in place when shit got real in the hood.

Drip, that is Starman-esque. Take a bow.

 

Love to read the ad for that job.

“The response is overwhelming,” the unidentified seller told Oralando’s WKMG news team via e-mail. The station found the targets, which feature a figure in a hoodie holding a bag of skittles and iced tea, on a popular firearms auction site. WKMG’s were not able to identify of the distributor, but when the seller was emailed and told that the local news team was investigating the online business, he claimed the targets would no longer be sold.

 

It's from his own doctor, so take it for what it is:

It'll be interesting to see what else comes out of these documents.

 

He should have stayed in his car.

 

Missteps.
