Yesterday, we covered the horrific mass shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA.  We have learned new information, including the victims' names and the state and federal charges filed against the shooter. The shooter reportedly entered the synagogue and then opened fire while allegedly shouting, “All Jews must die.”  He slaughtered 11 people and wounded at least six others, four of whom are police officers responding to the scene.

The long-running animated comedy series 'The Simpsons' is preparing to drop the character Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, the Indian-American owner of the 'Kwik-E-Mart' due to political correctness. This became an issue when comedian Hari Kondabolu made a documentary film called "The Problem With Apu" which was released last year.

It's hard to believe, but the midterm election is less than two weeks away.  This is a high-stakes midterm election, the likes of which in terms of national import we've probably not seen since the 1994 or 2010 midterms.  Both Democrats and Republicans are keenly aware of the stakes, and there have been more than a few developments over the past few days that are worth noting. We have separate READER POLLS as to whether Republicans can hold the House and Senate.

Last weekend, I covered the latest caravan of illegal immigrants careening toward our southern border, and on Friday, Mary blogged about President Trump considering executive action to narrow requirements for asylum-seekers. Now we are learning that thousands of illegal immigrants currently making their way through Mexico have been offered refugee status by the Mexican government.  Refugee status in Mexico would make the illegal aliens eligible for medical care, schooling, shelter, and jobs.  The offer was rejected.

End Note: I'm putting this at the top because it sums up better than anything I've seen the reaction to the shooting from the media and the left. From John Podhoretz at Commentary:
Based on the early evidence, the shooter was not only consumed with a hatred of Jews but possessed a kind of sneering contempt for Trump on the grounds that Trump was basically a Jewish agent or a Jew-lover himself. Trump can only be blamed for the murderous Jew-killing actions of someone who thought of him that way by people who are so consumed by hatred of him that there is nothing they won’t blame him for.

This Case of the Week is not so much a case of self-defense law as it is a case of mischaracterization of self-defense law. As sure as the sun rises in the East and sets in the West, the media will continue to mischaracterize “Stand-Your-Ground” in terms of both actual application and as legal doctrine. A recent example came across my desk this week from a publication named “Black Voice News,” in an article you can find by clicking here.
