GOD FORBID THE LAW SHOULD BE APPLIED EVENHANDEDLY: Lynching law created to protect blacks used against protester.

California Black Lives Matter organizer Jasmine “Abdullah” Richards became the first black person in the United States Tuesday to be sentenced for what, until last year, was considered attempted felony lynching.

If her appeal fails, Richards — who is currently serving part of a 90-day sentence — will face three years of probation and a year of anger management under a state anti-lynching statute originally created to protect blacks, not penalize them.

Well, okay then.

GELL-MANN AMNESIA EFFECT IN ACTION: Tom Brokaw Calls For Banning Gun That Doesn’t Exist.

(Classical reference in headline.)

AND WE SHOULD CARE WHAT A NOTORIOUSLY TREASONOUS SOCIETY SAYS BECAUSE…?  ACLU lawyers blame ‘Christian right,’ GOP for Orlando terrorist attack.  I’ve known brain damaged kittens too stupid to do much of anything who were brighter than this.

IF HE WANTS TO COMMIT SUICIDE BY WILLFUL IGNORANCE, IT’S HIS BUSINESS: What he doesn’t have is the right to take us along for the ride. Obama: ‘We’ are to blame, not Islamic terrorism, for massacre.  As far as I’m concerned, Mr. Obama can take his scolding and fold it all in corners.  He’s never taken his oath of office seriously.

APPARENTLY THE POOR MAN DIDN’T EVER LEARN TO LOOK AWAY: Explaining the largest attack on US soil since 9/11.

His father (who has apologized) has said that Mateen was angered by “the sight of two men kissing” and that the attack “has nothing to do with religion.” That latter is very difficult to believe, particularly since “FBI Agent Ron Hopper told reporters Mateen may have had leanings toward Islamic extremism.” I’m not sure what that “may have” is based on, but my guess is that it’s based on something more than idle speculation.

GRANTED, THE FATHER IS NOT THE SON, BUT STILL: The father of Omar Mateen, identified by police as the man behind the carnage at an Orlando nightclub early Sunday morning, is an Afghan man who holds strong political views, including support for the Afghan Taliban.

I SPEAK SEVEN LANGUAGES.  I HAVE NO WORDS FOR THIS IN ANY OF THEM: Omar Mateen Worked For Company that Provides Security to Federal Buildings.

WHY DIDN’T THEY JUST INTERVIEW HIM CONTINUOUSLY AND KEEP HIM FROM HURTING ANYONE? SERIOUSLY, WHAT IS GOING ON WITH OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT? FBI interviewed Orlando shooting suspect 3 times. 

THOUGHT VIRUSES: Islamist, Communist, Nazi: Ideologies of Hate.

THE IMPORTANT OF A WAITING PERIOD: … on social media lip-flapping.
