And one last thing as this episode has shown. The expression of hate and racism in the form of violence is a far different animal than a disagreement about the public opinion of a guy who sells chicken sandwiches.

Let's reserve the words like hate, racist, etc. for something truly despicable and horrific and not toss them casually as a simplistic rhetorical tool within the parlor game of modern political debate.

Hear that Riot!

Yeah! Reserve them for when people are like ... hateful, racist, and bigoted. And demonstrate it.

Three hospitalized still. One the officer who underwent 10 hrs. of surgery. All still ICU.

Obama called in condolences and that's all you can ask.

Except inviting the Sikhs who under the worse of circumstances so eloquently and calmly explained the difference between their religion and the muslin religion to the W.H. for a punjab dinner. Even Michelle would approve as it's guaranteed heart healthy! And they might be able to teach the Pres. a thing or a thousand.

They can explain how if you work your azz off even if you wear a turban, speak with an accent, are darker than white and people shun you can still be a success in this great country!
