Wow. Point out that the right-wing machine appears to encourage white violence against cops and some people get very upset, don't they? Sssh. It's okay. Sssh.

Charles Pierce, as always, puts it best:

"(And we should keep the banal red-blue, right-left kabuki of our politics largely out of the discussion, if we can. Yes, it is confounding to hear it argued that rightwing cop killers are always "lone wolves," but that Brinsley took his marching orders from Al Sharpton. And, yes, any time people try to tie clinic bombers and doctor-killers to the more "respectable" anti-choice movements, we get howls of outraged innocence. This latest episode is replete with hypocrisy, but that's the least dangerous thing about it.)"

As for the justice system, maybe if we weren't busy overstuffing privately run prisons with non-violent drug offenders, there'd be more space available to keep felons convicted of violent crimes in longer.

Well, he's certainly not going to be out in three years this time. Nor should he be.
