Can I quote myself without sounding arrogant? Brian Killmeade called for homeless to be shot, then retracted.

But he said it. The message has been delivered, and spread. Saying and apologizing is not the same as not saying it.

The redactions never travel as fast or far as the original message. They know this.

It's along the lines of a quote by Mark Twain

“A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.”

He needs to be held accountable for this.

He won't be. But Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air.

given how obsessed Walt Disney was with Germany, taking all of our folk lore / fairy tales, using german architecture as inspiration for castles and towns etc it isn't really all that surprising to learn that he loved us a bit too much

He could be just not by our legal system, and certainly not by the corpos. But hey there's always the possibility of a Luigi stepping up. Only way we will see justice, imo.

I love this. Well said.

I thought he said they should receive lethal injections. Not that they should be shot. Or is this a different instance?
