“I would have to be crazy not to see the pattern here.” Egyptian official greatly annoyed by the fact that no evidence backs up his assertion that Flight 804 was brought down by a terrorist attack.
Let’s see: a cow started giving sour milk. A man had strange dreams that caused disturbing night-time emissions. The moon looked funny. A baby died. I would have to be crazy not to see the pattern here: witchcraft!
A man starts shooting people in Munich. Another terror attack by a jihadist infiltrating the waves of immigrants from the Middle East! Keep them out! Except that it appears to be just another disturbed man with a gun.
Every year, many police are killed in the line of duty. But in the past month, the news treats every shooting as if it is retaliation for all the black people that have died at the hands of the police in the last few years.
But people of colour do not get to drive around in branded vehicles and in uniforms and they don’t get to pick random white people walking around their neighborhoods and point guns at them and shoot them and escape conviction because an impressionable jury thinks there was a chance the white person looked like he was reaching for a gun instead of his id.
