That the White Separatists in Oregon are saying the one of their members was shot "while he had his hands up"
Even if that is true (I doubt it) I still have no sympathy..
Because he was an armed adult

My 13 y.o. daughter at the dinner table said "I really like Dr. King, even though I'm not black"
I was dumbfounded.
I told her that if the focus of what her school was teaching about MLK and the civil rights movement lead her to believe that it was only a black topic then they were really doing it wrong.
I tried to explain that the extension of human rights to all Americans was vital for America's survival. That without The leadership of the civil rights movement American Democracy was doomed to unravel from the pressure of it's own hypocrisy...
That Dr. King held up a true picture of the state of the USA and to our credit enough people hated what that picture showed to make changes. Barely enough people, true - but enough to make a profound difference.
And unfortunately instead of expanding on that change and working for justice, America is reduced to trying to keep the gains we've made and defend them against those to whom even "tolerance" is a bridge too far. Let alone "Justice"...
Happy MLK Day.

Well, kind of "news" any way HLN. And they showed a NRA rep talking about why they did not attend the Town Hall on gun control.
He said " what are we going to talk about with him? Basketball?"
I just got a vision of a bell ringing and a treat sliding down a chute as the racist shit heads around the USA grunt happily.
Fucking hell, and no one on HLN even turned a hair. The clip was from Fox (of course) and Fox obviously saw nothing wrong with that statement.
Am I imagining things? Is this a sign of Political Correctness taking over my mind?
Nah - These guys are transparently pumping racism out for their drooling hordes to enjoy.
Full disclosure; I am a gun owner. Fuller disclosure - The NRA is absolutely not representing me or anyone I shoot with
