Yep.

It happens today. Is happening today. Will happen today. It's stressful. Like, did you hear about that poor kid who was sentenced to 7 years for pushing a hall monitor? She did it on purpose, which she admits. But the judge who sentenced her to 7 years sentenced a white kid with probation for burning down a house.

Or about the guy in Harrison County who was beaten to death by a prison guard. That news didn't make the national media.

Or about the time I was stuck in Shreveport at 3 o'clock in the morning, and the Avis attendant refused to issue me a rental car, even though I had a reservation. And that was last June.
