Warnings for large gun and ammunition purchases

vendredi 12 août 2022 à 02:48

Proposing credit card companies warn when someone orders large supplies of guns and ammunition.

I think this is a good idea. The interference with privacy would be very narrow, and little by comparison with the things we are fighting against.

Emmet Till accuser won't be charged

vendredi 12 août 2022 à 02:48

*Emmett Till: woman whose accusation led to [his] lynching will not be charged.*

I think this verdict was inevitable. If her story is true, it implies she is not responsible for the murder of Emmet Till. If she is lying, she might be co-responsible in some way, but there is no evidence about what it may have been, let alone any proof.

The people who really should have been convicted of murder were the people who killed him. They were acquitted by a racist jury.

If that were to happen today, the murderers would face federal civil rights charges, as well as state charges. The conviction of Ahmaud Arbery's killers suggests that the US has learned to be less racist in its justice than it was in 1955. Maybe some day it will learn to be even less racist.
