It all comes together,

Racism, classism, mental illness, access to health care, irresponsible government blaming the victim and justifying wrongdoing instead of taking accountability for the excessive use of force...

Sometimes I try not to read the news because it makes me die a little inside.

Basically what they're saying is that this man was just another egg in the nasty messed up omelette they call "the war on terror."

"Hey - she was wearing tight jeans. She was asking for it."

How many people do we know have to deal with bi-polar, depression, and other mental illness that require medicine or other proper behavioral health care and probably don't have all the access or money in the world to get it? Who could this man have been in your life?
