QOTD: Rich Lowry
by digby
Breaking: Rich Lowry was on a ride-along with Darren Wilson the day he shot Mike Brown and knows exactly what happened. And there's a lesson to be learned:
But what I really object to is you can discuss all of these problems, but let's not pretend that this particular incident was something it wasn't. It you look at the most credible evidence, the lessons are really basic. Don't rob a convenience store. Don't fight a policeman when he's stopped you and try to take his gun and when he yells at you to stop with is gun drawn, just stop and none of this would have happened.
These are the undisputed facts, according to Lowry. And these "facts" prove that the unarmed teenager, Michael Brown, deserved to be summarily executed.
That's the authoritarian mindset of a whole lot of Americans. And it's very, very creepy.
