Not everything needs to be about tRump. Jean deserves some respect. He is a black man dead at the hand of a white cop in his own apartment by a cop that mistook it for her own. Very shady things are coming out at the trial. I hope she gets life.

(10,885 posts)about the girl being held down while her classmates cut her hair, NBC made no mention of the fact that Mother Pence works at that very school. Perhaps they felt there was no direct relevance to the girl's story, but it does show the atmosphere prevailing there.
What's going on, Lester?

Stop it! A black man once again murdered by cop is of great concern to this county. Read my post above about her vicious texts that the cops let her delete when she should have been interrogated.

NBC's choice - keep running repeats of interviews of White House people and congressmen, or report on this story.

(267,843 posts)Botham Jean was the son of a St Lucia Government Cabinet member who worked with an international company as an accountant.

If he wasn't safe, no black person is safe.
