Watching the interfaith prayer vigil on MSNBC, the good/the bad

[rufus dog]

All of the speakers, people of faith, did a great job.

The Police Chief, the Mayor, most religions represented, and to a person they did a great job.

Correction, a fucking outstanding job. To a person they condemned the killings in Dallas AND the police actions in Baton Rouge and St. Paul.

The bad, for some reason they decide to let Rudy Giuliani come on. Same old fucking bullshit, he condemns the Gov. of MN for jumping to conclusions. Actually uses the stat that the majority of blacks are killed by other blacks to minimize the killing of blacks by police. And to make it worse, uses the standard, we don't have all the information on the police killings.

1. But isn't this pretty much standard operating procedure?

A horrendous thing happens, media goes into 24/7 tragedy mode, God is invoked, idiots like Giuliani get their 15 minutes, then after a week it's forgotten about until the next time. The bloody House of Representatives won't even pass a bill allowing gun violence to be studied!

5. I thought the imam was

an outstanding speaker. Giuliani was, as always, disgusting.
