We've got a 10:00 PM - 6:00 AM curfew in Columbus, Ohio, and my Congresswoman, Joyce Beatty, got pepper-sprayed at last night's protests downtown.

Since Antifa is just short for “anti-fascism,” every WW II veteran is now a terrorist.

The problem is, the “good cops” know if they speak out against the bad ones, they’ll find themselves alone in a dark warehouse the next time they call for back up.

And some of the people shooting at them will have badges.

They're on the right side of this, aren't they? Am I missing something??

9pm to 6am here in Louisville. We lost one of the better BBQ gods in the town last night. Mayor Fischer is starting to clue in, but he's just starting.

You have my sympathy and that's because I have very fond memories of Columbus (even though I root for the Whore of Ann Arbor whenever it doesn't conflict with Northwestern's schedule).

Thanks, MM.

And since my uncle whom I never knew, as he was shot down an killed over France in WWII, can we expect they'll be exhuming his bones and putting them on trial?

And labeling "good" and "bad" like you're either an upstanding angel or an evil monster masquerading as one of the good guys is so stupid. When it's racism and power trips and you-can't-know-what-it's-like all mixed up with group dynamics and the idea that they have to defend each other (a noble idea in theory) being twisted to mean "prevent each other from suffering consequences". Even the officers who might not use excessive force themselves are steeped in a system that shrugs away excessive force because they have a hard/dangerous job and how can outsiders understand and judge? and not wanting to be seen as ratting others out or being disloyal.

We all know Mr. O'Brien as the skill behind freeing A$AP Rocky. He's a tough negotiator. Not as tough as Orwell's O'Brien. But then not as smart either. He sounds very much like his boss. It seems that all his education and experience disappeared when he sat for an hour with Bunker Boy.He did help with BB's reallty TV moment when they tear gassed and rubber bulleted peaceful protesters out of the way. So congratulations to a new best of peoples appointment of White House Security that should always send Trump to a bunker and leave him there.

I wish I could select the Angry and Sad emoji at the same time.

This is like the "police riots" of 1968 Chicago. I am beyond disgusted and just plain sad for my country.

Because Trump is getting ready to deploy the troops on home soil.

As is totally appropriate. He looks like a Nazi fish filet.

For the record, THIS is the Stars and Bars. This is the 1st flag of the confederacy.
