I'm working on a script today and I'm sorta able to focus on that…but every time I think I oughta post something on this blog, all I can think about is the murder of Alex Pretti in the streets of Minneapolis…and that's what happened there: Murder.  All the bullshit "alternative facts" by the killers and their enablers can't change that.  They might have gotten away with it if there had been fewer cellphone cameras trained on the crime or if the people with the cellphones had had limited views.

Others have been killed like that and the killers will probably never be brought to justice.  There was enough ambiguity in the videos of Renée Good being shot in the face for some to pretend it was justified but I don't think they can get away with it this time.  This one's different.  We'll see if that difference makes the kind of difference it should.

I can't help but think that if John Oliver weren't on hiatus, he would have scrapped some or all of a show recorded yesterday and done something for tonight.

Some of what I'm feeling is expressed in this video by Devin Stone, the gent responsible for the Legal Eagle videos I occasionally post.  I wouldn't blame you if you've heard too much about this today and need to direct your brain to other topics out of fatigue and/or frustration.  But if you bring yourself to watch this, watch this…
