[It’s a rarity when “Texas Monthly” actually has an interesting, non-biased article.]

It’s interesting, but that’s a product of the unusually adept operators mounting the heists. I wouldn’t call it non-biased, though. Here’s an example, mirroring the sainted Trayvon narrative:

[Although he had committed minor crimes as a young man, he hadn’t been charged with any violent crimes except for a couple of misdemeanor assault charges. Nor had he been arrested for any crime at all since 2009.]

I love the sliding scale the Left uses. This thumbnail description of the guy’s history potentially covers a LOT of ground. These two sentences could describe anything from a regular guy who’s had some bad luck with the law to a hardened criminal. What do you wanna bet that this guy leans more towards the latter?

[In April 1996, a few months after his seventeenth birthday, he was arrested for unlawfully carrying a weapon, a misdemeanor for which he received a one-year probated sentence. A year later, he was arrested for misdemeanor assault (he reportedly got into a fight with a man who collided with his car), which led to a six-month stint in county jail. ]

The above sentences, handed down when he was a minor, suggests a plea bargain. I am gonna guess they were pled down from much more serious charges. Plea bargains themselves are downgraded, on top of which minors get another break.

Yet listen to how they talk about Brett Kavanaugh. Assuming at least some of the accusations against Kavanaugh are true (and I don’t believe they are), he’d be guilty of, at most, behaving like a jerk in public. Yet they repeatedly characterize him as a “sexual predator” — like he skulks around at night wearing a ski mask and attempts to rape random women.
