Did not hear one word about this.
Sickening.
That’s CBC news, not CBS news.
My apologies.
CBS cares... why?
Hate to be cynical and yet it somehow seems different than if the protest came from FOX.
That makes it less surprising. I thought someone had popped a sanity pill at CBS.
White lives don’t matter.
Wait a minute. The Gentle Giant was "impoverished"? I'd like to see some evidence of that.
And in any event -- this decent may have had little in common with the other two, but to say he had nothing in common is a tragic exaggeration.

In this country, there is a crying need for justice.
If one cannot derive justice from the court system, then perhaps it should be derived from street justice.
What kind of poems are you writing in Baltimore? Sounds like dystopian tragedies.
None in a while, a thousand between 1990 and 2000... maybe 20 between 2000 and 2015.
Dystopian tragedies would be a good subject matter, though, considering the current trajectory of the world (and this country).
"And I'm like, who the f*** shot?" Barnes told detectives later. "I kinda got a little pi$$ed."
But only "a little pi$$ed". After all, it was not a cop who got shot.
It’s been fairly big news here in northern Virginia, especially since the Fairfax police had been stonewalling the release of the cop video for over a year.
Was the shooting deliberate? If so, it is First Degree Murder, by definition as there was no threat to the shooter.
Was the shooter’s trigger finger in his gun’s trigger guard?
If so, intent to shoot is clearly established by the fact that cops are taught not to put their finger inside the trigger guard unless they are going to shoot.
Execute the shooter.
I with I knew more about this incident, but this is a poorly written article.
Here is a blog with a lot of links and additional information:

Here is a recent protest held by concerned citizens in the Fairfax area:

Hey, it’s not a killing of a human being, just a honky.
Thank you for the references.
