The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Black thief breaks window, shot while running away from police.
A righteous shoot.

Ashley Babbit at the head of a mob that had broken through police lines, entered the Capitol and now breaking and crawling through door window of House Chamber where sheltering Congressional leaders are trying to evacuate. Told to stop by police. Was shot by police at close range while moving TOWARD officers. The mob directly behind her fell back.
Somehow, the same folks who are ok shooting a black man who is running away…. feel exactly the opposite about someone at the head of a mob running toward law enforcement who are the only obstacle between the mob and a group of Congressional leaders. Somehow, this makes her a Patriot and the cop who shot her- a murderer.

Back the Blue, indeed.
