  • Nice story!

    We were in the Altadena fire zone. My wife evacuated far south, staying near work. Our foster and I went just down into Los Angeles to stay with a friend. We confirmed that he likes to chase cats but he got along nicely with her two foster chihuahuas. He also accepted being in a crate most of the day as long as short walks happened periodically. On Thursday he got called back so he could be part of a group of shelter dogs heading to a partner shelter in San Diego. While dropping him off it became apparent my shelter needed help with the flood of donations. The community outpouring of support was awesome. After two days they were overwhelmed and started sending donations to a local partner shelter. I stayed for a third day because residents were still streaming in for supply pickups.

    Yet all of these outlets at the same time have run support for Daniel Penny, the man recently acquitted for killing a Black homeless man on the New York City subway… These outlets likewise expressed support for Kyle Rittenhouse after he gunned down Black Lives Matter protesters… and for George Zimmerman when he shot Trayvon Martin…

    In other words, it’s fine to defend vigilantes when they kill unarmed Black people or anti-racist activists, but when a CEO’s life is taken, we must solemnly stay silent on the reasons why such a person might be targeted or why bystanders might not be crying.
