Sunday Bloody NYT Sunday: Special Legitimate Righteous Anger Edition

Today's Times is lighter on coverage of the Michael Dunn trial than we had hoped. There's only a dispassionate bit that so dryly recounts the inexplicable verdict -- guilty on attempted murder charges of the kids he didn't kill, but not guilty of murdering the one he did -- it isn't even worth quoting here.

Hope you never sleep well again, fuckers.
