I say the Italians did it.

This was an all white matter (Irish), not half-white (Italian).

He was mcwacked. Not wopped.

Whitey Bulger was wacked overnight, shortly after being transferred to a new prison in WV.

So good ole Whitey got the eye for an eye treatment. Face beaten beyond recognition and an attempt was made to cut out his tongue with improvised knives, the mob penalty for a snitch.

The main suspect is a convicted mob hitman from Massachusetts who was said to hate rats and abusers of women. That dude was ready for Whitey.

He also has a resemblance to Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber:

That was a GREAT article... a real piece of journalism right there

You can't make that stuff up, either .... the part about Geas' murder conviction stemming from a hit he did on a guy because of a dispute over Tony Bennett concert tickets... I laughed my ass off.. stupid wiseguy gangsters

And the last sentence about wanting to put some money in Geas' canteen account

I don't like Alec Baldwin much, but it sounds like he did what most of us feel like doing in a situation like that.

He's going to have to pay out a mid-six figure settlement since he's rich and famous, so I hope he got a good one in on the other dude's face. Additionally, he'll get a year PBJ and it'll be expunged. Been there, done that a few times.

Revenge is a dish best served loud. Our upstate darkies are awesome:

For weeks now, residents in the New Jersey towns of Pennsville, Carneys Point and Penns Grove have been plagued by the sound of heavy bass music, played at all hours of the day — and night.

It's origin?

Delaware, Cummings said.

"I think I've received 21 complaints in the month of October alone," the police chief said Thursday, adding that he's heard several different kinds of music but that one could generally define it as rap.

I like where you're going with this...
But post 9/11 there wasn't much Liberal angst on that
in fact as Republicans love pointing out the house and Senate almost entirely supported the Iraq war
both sides

Pay attention, because you'll like this...
I would lay the "Fight Islamaphobia" stupidity almost entirely on the Obama door step
As he was working his way through the political maze the left needed to soften the Islam angle
Because the man attended mosque and had a funny sounding Muslim middle name

Fight Islamaphia became a battle cry a decade after 9/11



It's all politics
Obama wouldn't even say Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorism
He wouldn't criticize any aspect of the violence on behalf of religion
He made it all about "crazy people" and Political extremists he called them

It was percolating well before Obama.

GWB bent over backwards to point out that “Islam is a religion of peace” - why bother? Because the fringe left (which was a bit smaller back then) was already conflating criticisms of Islam with criticisms of race.

Obama certainly signed a big permission slip, but I was hearing the Islamophobia chatter in 2001 - it just supplanted the “war for oil/greed” mantra once Obama took office

Heaven forbid leaders of the #1 global super-power tap the breaks a bit. Without that we may have invaded the wrong country and tried to de-islamafy the entire world.

Alec Baldwin is like Trump's long lost liberal brother. They are both major a-holes.

China has a ton of data from OPM, thanks Obama. No one in the media bothered to give that more than a single line.

Is there really not a thread on the shooting in California? NBC this morning led with although they don't know the identity of the shooter, they can confirm it was a white male. They made a big deal about that.

It occurred in California. We only discuss domestic incidents here.

What's there to discuss? I think you've been told to wash the dishes enough times at this point.
