In the absence of elected leadership and in the face of police standing by and watching looting in Chicago, Latin gangs are protecting their local businesses and running would be looters out of their neighborhoods.  It's hard to fault them for it, but do we really want street gangs acting as law enforcement?

I'm not sure how many times I've watched this video, but I've watched it a lot and I've snorted, because it's just... perfect. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) walks out and gets his glasses hilariously tangled in his mask. A mask that no longer matters because with rioters and looters galore, social distancing is so May. And the scarf. THE SCARF. It's all too much.

Earlier today I blogged about Chicago having its deadliest day in 60 years. The city saw 18 murders in 24 hours on May 31. On that same day, Mayor Lori Lightfoot met with Chicago officials to discuss the mass riots and looting across the city in response to George Floyd's death. While Lightfoot raged against the chaos, she also told one alderman he was "100 percent full of shit" when he described his ward as a "virtual war zone."

Last Friday, Oberlin College and Dean of Students Meredith Raimondo filed their Appeal Brief, seeking to overturn the trial verdict. The NAACP also filed a ridiculous Amicus Brief supporting the college. According to the docket, at least one more Amicus Brief will be filed for a coalition of 'anti-censorship' groups. Today, Gibson's Bakery filed its Cross-Appeal Brief (pdf.)(full embed at bottom of post). Wait, what is a cross-appeal?
