Trump Rally Turns Violent – We Are Becoming Trump
Congratulations! We’ve finally succeeded in making the “Both sides do it” claim a reality. Via TPM (Be sure to watch the videos): At the end of a Donald Trump rally in San Jose, California, on Thursday night, protesters began throwing eggs and punches at Trump supporters leaving the event, according to several news reports.

Josh Marshall: Someone Will Die
Go read the entire thing. Today we appear to be going further and further into uncharted territory. After the cancellation of Trump’s event yesterday in Chicago, we had the incident at the rally in Dayton, Ohio in which a protestor, Thomas Dimassimo, jumped the security perimeter surrounding Trump and tried to rush the speaking platform. […]
Is It Time To Get Rid Of Fraternities?
I will admit I have a strong bias against fraternities. During college I witnessed them in action, and what I see today is no different from what I saw then. I am not saying that all members are all awful, but the mob mentality surrounding them is disturbing. I don’t see a strong sense of […]
Happy New Year, Murder Town USA
People can bury their heads in the sand and say Newsweek was being hyperbolic, but when the state’s top prosecutor says “Murder Town” is accurate, you’ve got problems.
In Wilmington, bullets and violence
Wednesday night, 27-year-old Otis Saunders was gunned down in Wilmington, the city’s 15th homicide victim this year.

Wilmington Breaks Its Shootings Record
Over the past several days, Wilmington lived through another rash of shootings resulting in a new shootings record: 147, surpassing the 2010 record of 142. On Monday, I returned home from seeing The Godfather on the big screen at Penn Cinema to multiple flashing red lights at 6th and Madison Sts — 2 women had been shot sitting on their porch earlier that evening. Earlier on Monday, the WPD reported arresting a man carrying an illegal gun not far from this spot — on the 500 block of W 5th — and credited the community with reporting this guy. On Friday, a man was shot in the 600 blk of W 6th St. Other shootings up on Lea Blvd AND at the Riverfront made this a heartbreaker of a Thanksgiving weekend for Wilmington.
Violence and Wilmington
Last night, there was a quickly called meeting by Herman Holloway, Jr. to get “community leaders” to discuss Wilmington’s violence problem. Specifically, Holloway wanted to talk about strategies to get more people to tell what they know about violent crime and illegal guns to the police. He also wanted to float a couple of other […]
Does This Wifebeater Make Me Look Fat?
Yesterday we covered the despicable email Rep. Allen West (Tejadi – FL) sent to Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Well, our resident teabagging radio talking head, Bill Colley (aka Curley, aka The Fat Man) decided to go one step further. During yesterday afternoon’s show, he said regarding the response to West’s email “If he went and […]
Another Round of Anti-Government Violence
We don’t know much about this case yet, but it sounds troubling: An East Texas man who federal prosecutors allege left explosive devices including pipe bombs in multiple area mail boxes, was motivated in part by anger at the government, Brit Featherston, first assistant U. S. attorney for the Eastern District of Texas tells TPMmuckraker […]
Anti Health Care Reform Activist Arrested For Death Threats
Those tea partiers are just regular folks and when people accuse them of inciting violence they’re liar, right? Maybe not. Federal prosecutors have charged a Washington state man, Charles Alan Wilson, with repeatedly making threatening calls to Sen. Patty Murray’s Seattle office, threatening to kill her because of her support for the health care bill. […]
