Raymond Surratt will die in prison because of a sentence that the government and the district court agree is undeserved and unjust. – Judge Roger Gregory
Every so often I see a “how-to” video that reminds me of my old friend Walter, who was a walking encyclopedia of these kinds of things; if anyone could be trusted to do something like start a fire with a lemon, it was Walter. Alas, I haven’t seen him in years, so this video had to be provided by Radley Balko (who also gave us “banality”, “reason” and “burn”). The other links above the video are from Tim Cushing (“consent”, “2001” and “drugs”), Popehat (“nope”), Thaddeus Russell (“crossing”), and Dave Krueger (“laws”).
