The lawyers who tried to burn the cops alive

Here's an update on them, from 10 days ago:

I only post that because of this, my favorite part:

A former colleague of Rahman's, Alicia Bella, said she couldn't reconcile the charges with the person she knew. "I'm very surprised. My heart goes out to her, and I want to do everything I can to help her," she said. "I know what this country does to people who express themselves. I'm definitely worried."

Shame on this reactionary country and how it treats those who attempt to burn random cops alive.

Must have been having a bad day. Anyone can have a bad day, right?

Been watching "The Shield," eh?

Tastes like chicken?

OK, poor taste. But, I'm reminded of the group of law students at our local Lewis & Clark law school, who made local headlines about their protests, and believing freedom of speech was not all that important. Of course, being stupid is not as bad as trying to cause extreme physical pain and death on someone else. But it does give pause -- I'd really like to sit down with these types of people, just to talk for a while. Curious what drives some people.

I think it's safe to say that those sorts of lefties are very much down for a civil war. That whole side of the discussion is, to the extent they understand the behavior and accept it as just a way to express oneself.

Problem is, other folks shoot back.

And there are more of those that are armed.
