At least 13 people were injured, five critically in two separate mass shootings at homeless encampments in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Monday. The first shooting took place at East Lake Street and Interstate 35W around 11am local time.

    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.

        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.”

        Thank you. I had a colleague that could tell you to fuck off and later apologize, but it didn’t feel right anyway. And especially in this case, with graver consequences.
