Lawrence needs a clue, and another American tragedy.

I have to get with Lawrence O'Donnell and give him a little newsflash real quick: Pssst, Lawrence, just because you are knocking boots with a sister, that doesn't give you the right to speak on black issues that you have no clue about.

Some of these "liberals " kill me with their bullshit. They act like they get an honorary "black  pass"' because their political leanings is more in sync with most black people.  I have written about this before, and this is a good time to remind liberals that they get as much scrutiny from the kid as conservative republicans when it comes to matter of race.

For the record, comparing the actions of the kkk to ISIS is quite appropriate. The kkk lynched, burned, and raped to terrorize a race of people. And ISIS is committing unspeakable acts for their own sick religious reasons as well.

In case Lawrence and others like him forgot their history, it's important to note that the kkk, like ISIS, also used their religion to justify their actions.

I think  that it might be time for Tamron to have a serious PT session with her man.

Finally, I don't like to write about what I do every day for obvious reasons. But I work in an environment where I see domestic violence and its effects quite often, and I am hear to tell you that domestic violence is a serious problem in this country.

I am reminded of that sad fact after reading about yet another horrific story triggered by an ex- husband's jealousy and rage. 

"Douglasville, Ga. (Reuters) - A father went on a shooting rampage this weekend, killing his ex-wife, her boyfriend, and two children before taking his own life in a suburban Atlanta neighborhood, authorities said.

The massacre at the former wife's home near Douglasville, about 20 miles (32 km) west of Atlanta, left two other children on life support, authorities said on Sunday.

The shooter chased his daughter into the street and shot her in Saturday's incident, said Randy Daniel, coroner for Douglas County, Georgia. She died at the scene.

"It was his own little girl," Daniel said in a telephone interview. "It's terrible."

He also fired at his ex-wife and her boyfriend, as well as the other children, Daniel said, adding that all were shot in the head.

The shooter was found dead with the other victims inside the house, Daniel said, in a quiet neighborhood of two-car garages and well-kept lawns near Douglasville.

Teresa Carter, who lives right across the street in the quiet Amber Forest neighborhood, was home at the time.
"I was sitting in my living room and heard the pow," she said. "Then I heard the little girl screaming, and then four more shots. It was the worse thing I ever heard in my life."

She ran outside and saw the girl had been shot in the mouth.

Carter said her neighbors had seemed to be a perfect family, playing ball in the street, with the children coming up to her to pet her dog.

There will be more stories like this, and we will be just as saddened and outraged at the next one.

Saddened and outraged; but certainly not surprised.
