Goodheart's JournalI had this policeman friend who killed a man
It was an accident, BUT.
Here's the story....
While patrolling in the New Orleans area he spotted a speeding driver. So gave pursuit. The speeder, having noticed that he was being chased, went even faster. MUCH faster. My friend didn't slow down. He continued in hot pursuit. MUCH hotter. So hot, in fact, that both vehicles ran a traffic signal... the violator made it through the intersection, but my police officer friend smashed into an innocent crossing car. Killed that innocent driver instantly. Needless to say, the speeder got away.
The moral of this story?
LET HIM GO.
This is what this new Atlanta story reminded me of. Needless death. Unwarranted death. Death that doesn't fit the crime. Even IF the deceased had committed some sort of petty crime.....
LET HIM GO.
Concerning the Andrew Jackson statue in Lafayette Square
Is it still there?
Concerning its twin statue down in New Orleans: its days are numbered.
What's really ironic about the Bolton situation
BOTH sides, left and right, will consider him a traitor.
Was it worth it, Captain Kangaroo? Your book is going to tank, anyway.
trump threatened this morning to withhold pay raises for the military if
Congress agrees to remove Confederate names from our military bases.
WTF. That'll play well.
And for WHAT? To hang onto the redneck racist vote? What's a New Yorker's emotional investment in Confederate generals, anyway?
I mean, seriously.... he is the DUMBEST motherfucker that ever set foot in Washington, and for that, at least, I'm grateful.
Imagine if somebody just as evil but genuinely smart occupied the White House? This country would be over by now.
Jefferson Davis took a tumble last night.
I know some outraged Richmonders. Fuck 'em. Aside from the monument to treason aspect of it, that shit was gaudy.

Rasmussen says Black support of donald trump has surged upward by 15%
I'm not a pollster, and I'm not black, so I wouldn't know for sure.... but I say that's complete bullshit.

First I've seen this. The Daily Show at a Trump rally.
Yes, 41% of Americans ARE that stupid. My brain aches.
Georgia, can we talk about Stone Mountain and the racist eyesore upon its face?
What's to do be done about that?
During all that ridiculous speechifying, not one bit of care for the root cause of this problem
Not a single hint of a pledge that he will listen to calls for justice and work to address them.
This is trump's America.
War on our citizens.
We are on the threshold of a dictatorship.
