Police say the Austin bombing suspect had a 25-minute “confession” on his phone. No mention of terror/hatred, but instead was “the outcry of a very challenged young man, talking about challenges in his personal life, that led him to this point,” police say https://t.co/4Q5sMEyu35

Once, before I die, I’d like to hear a cop or prosecutor declare — and mainstream media report — that the confession of a black- or brown-skinned suspect to a crime of violence is “the outcry of a very challenged young man, talking about challenges that led him to this point.” https://t.co/m0st3rvUyL

Try to pay more attention, as you say. I gotta go.
