'Heavily Armed' Vance Boelter Taken Alive, Sounds About White—Conover Kennard at Crooks and Liars, commenting on the capture of alleged Minnesota assassin Vance Boelter
The headline is a commentary on how when the shooter is white, they are taken alive, and in some cases taken to Burger King, (Dylann Roof), while the more darkly complected suspects end up shot.
If that headline were any darker, a member of the Minneapolis Police Department would be choking it out under their knee.

It's a posting ground for my more-or-less annual personal newsletter, 40 Years in the Desert.(PDF's available at link)
I find that if I wait until year's end I miss stuff from earlier in the year.
40 Years is put out the old fashioned way, it's printed out on ledger sized paper with 4 pages and mailed to people, total circulation of about 100.
I'm just not the holiday card kind of guy. A warning, if you comment here, I may use it in my paper publication.
You will get credit, and if I can get your postal adress, you will get at least the issue where you are quoted (probably a lot more, I rarely trim my list).
If someone actually wants to pay for an issue...I don't know, I guess a buck, but you can get the PDF's free.
I intend to post at least a couple of times a week,
