well, we may have gotten some back today…All three men involved in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery found guilty of murder

Won't bring Ahmaud back, but its good to know that lynching is still illegal in the US
So shouldn't the DA or who ever what trying to cover this up also do some jail time…we might have never heard of this case if people hadn't made a stink about it

I am weird

If I am not in a jury and don’t hear all the particulars and evidence  I don’t get agitated either way…

Although sometimes, as with Rittenhouse, my credulity is tested

ok, I thought something was going on

Former Brunswick District Attorney Jackie Johnson, who was arrested in August for her role in covering up the Ahmaud Arbery murder, and charged with violating her oath as a public officer and obstructing a police officer will stand trial next.

also this is shocking and true
It was one of the defendants attorneys who originally gave the video of the murder of Ahmed Arbery to the press because he thought it was helpful to his case.
That defendant will likely spend the rest of his life in prison.

Charles Moose, the former chief of the Montgomery County Police Department who emerged as a regional leader during the D.C. area sniper attacks, died on Thanksgiving Day. He was 68.

Stephen Sondheim. Would have guessed him dead years ago

Could've sworn he died years ago.

Last few years he endorsed and defended Trump. He was the only old school Republican to do that. He attended the 2016 RNC. Not sure if he made an appearance in 2020 virtually. Since he was a former Republican nominee for president it was big news.

He has to be one of the last surviving people to have fought in World War II.

Approximately 240K still alive.

My bad

So about 15% are still alive or 240,000 out of 16,000,000

So that’s good news


Article says expect last one to die around 2032

There's one in every crowd.

Maybe 10 years ago I was doing a lunchtime run past the WW2 Memorial and Dole was speaking. He seemed pretty dead even then.

Uh, that’s 1.5%

Dude WTF

I double checked

RIP Bob Dole. An underestimated member of the #Trainspotting team. His criticism of the film for glamorizing drugs (he’d later confess he hadn’t seen it) piqued the curiosity of American youth and launched a nice little career for me stateside
