According to the Tulsa World, hate crime charges have been added.

Next complaint will be that it took a week and only happened because $harpton and Jack$on got involved.

It's almost as if some people think due process should be applied selectively.

Its what? A misdemeanor? Maybe they can add some charges for torching the truck without a burn permit.

Good one!  I'm sure they are considering it!

DA's office is requesting denial of bond for both defendants:

List of charges filed:

And of course the requisite interjection by one of my favorite people:

QuoteCivil rights activist Rev. Je$$e Jack$on, who is in Tulsa this weekend and attended Clark's funeral Friday morning, said he is glad to hear charges were filed by the DA.

"They should have been filed," Jack$on said. "An act of revenge is an act of hate regarding innocent people. This is a big step in the right direction."

So rather than be annoyed by the stuff Sharpton actually says, you feel the need to make stuff up to be annoyed about? I would have thought there was enough material to not require the manufacture of more.

Of course I engaged in a bit of absurdity!

You think either one of these jokers is going to say they are completely happy with the way this has been handled and that Tulsa has about as peaceful of race relations as you will find anywhere in the continental United States?  Of course not.  They will keep whipping the winds of racism to keep themselves relevant.

They would be far more productive to focus on black-on-black violence as that's a far bigger problem than white-on-black violence.  That's not as sensational though.

I have to point out something:

Conan can see the future!  Tell me, oh sage, when will the bottom drop out of the energy market due to china's housing market collapsing?  How badly will dewey lose the election?

Perhaps, but that's not what happened in this instance. It makes you seem a little deranged when you go off on someone for doing that thing that annoys you so very much when they are not presently doing that thing that annoys you so very much.

Dewey loses by 20 points, gasoline back to $2.50 by labor day, and I bet I will have a Cubano sandwich by the end of this weekend ;)

That voodoo that you do?



That's fine if you don't wish to indulge my preemptive strike.  ;)  Let's revisit this discussion on Monday and see how far off base I am about their respective visits then.

If they complain about the investigation so far, I'll join you in pointing and laughing.

Sharpton cancelled.

No national coverage here?
