Exactly.

I am so confused by the ending. Why didn’t earn just get rid of the gun before they left for the airport? That points to sabotage to me.

SNI-DER! SNI-DER! SNI-DER!

Can’t wait to read the piece, but while you’re here: You dropped a ‘t’ on that first line!

I’ve always appreciated Henry as a character. Effective and efficient :)

I almost cried, and I wasn’t sure why...It was brutal!

Women, too! Some victims who came forward were athletes from other programs; at least one MSU softball player, I think.

Shocker!!!

GIRL, WHAT

That detail was somehow lost on me. Thanks for pointing that out!

It is a consistently beautiful-looking show!

Great observation!

I think they are both very stuck, and Al is the only one who’s starting to realize it.

That’s great to hear! I did have a knee-jerk reaction, and I apologize for that. Between the Waffle House incidents, Starbucks, back to Stephon Clark and even a horrifying incident like below happening today, I’ll admit I’m on edge. I fear for the lives of my family, myself; I’m terrified to be pulled over, like I…

I don’t feel attacked if someone tells me I’m wrong, even if they’re telling me I’m wrong about my own experiences. I am,…

Enlighten me!

I’m sorry I insulted you based on race and gender stereotypes. Can you point out to me where I did that so I can avoid offending you or anyone else in the future?

TRANSLATION: Black and feminist voices exist only to offend my white/male sensitivities. It’s an outrage that not everything is about me and for me!

No, I’m not joking. What do you think the parents should have said? Almost every incident like this ends with the offenders doubling-down, making excuses, denying responsibility. These parents did none of that, and I think it’s important to recognize and acknowledge what real contrition and growth looks like.
