I notice no one has mentioned the race angle. Let me be the first since I'm sure it will come up. Disturbed right winger kills black cop....no way that is going to get a pass.

That's because conservatives don't play the race card; only the leftist racists do that in order to pander to the very groups whose lives they've destroyed through 35+ years' worth of entitlements.

I don't currently have the stomach to go look, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprise if the DUh squad has already latched onto this. Like Ann Coulter wrote, they'll say anything to slander conservatives, no matter how much of a lie it might be.

If someone wants to play this for the race angle, wardaddy, there would likely be scores of blacks from Cincinnati who would give the late Don Matthews a glowing character reference. His radio show was on a black-owned station. He deeply resented the way state and local law enforcement hassled people of color and the economically disadvantaged, and said so. Most of the students in his Cincinnati classes were blacks. Don thought he was helping to empower the underprivileged in our society by teaching them the tools with which they could assert their constitutional rights, and many of these people are grateful to him.

I'm not defending what Don did. I can't for it was wrong, wrong, wrong. But he told me often enough that if he couldn't live as a free man, he'd be a dead man. So I guess he wrote the inscription for his own tombstone.
