    Sharpton just praised God for using Trayvon's murder to lead to justice for Arbery.

    Tough couple of days for Trumpists. Their heroes from the C’ville klan rally were found liable. Now their heroes in Georgia are going to prison. Thoughts and prayers.

    My grandfather worked in the car business for 30 years.
    My father worked in the car business for 25.
    I worked in the car business for over 10.
    That movie is a family staple.

    Meanwhile, in Aurora, where Elijah McClain was killed by police ...

    Aurora Police Union Head: Diversity Should Include Crackheads, Illegal Aliens, Molesters

    But an excerpt suggests that to "match the 'diversity' of 'the community,' we could make sure to hire 10% illegal aliens, 50% weed smokers, 10% Crackheads, and a few child molesters and murderers to round it out. You know, so we can make the department look like the 'community.'"

    I can’t remember if I saw it here or elsewhere, but somebody made a hell of a point. Remember the idea that their unincorporated development was experiencing a crime wave that put people on edge? Somebody pulled the relevant police logs and for the last several months before the murder, there had been one burglary call and it wound up being a false alarm.

    The good people went two-for-three against white supremacy this week.

    Not too bad.

    Just happened to land on Sharpton while flipping through and after about three minutes, my wife goes “He sure does like to hear himself talk.” Can’t say that I disagree.
