Lawrence King Mistrial
It is entirely fucked up that a mistrial was declared in the Lawrence King trial. A kid brings a gun to school and shoots another, unarmed kid for being feminine, and they couldn’t come to a decision on whether it was murder or manslaughter.
Jurors told Ventura County Superior Court Judge Charles Campbell they were unable to reach a unanimous decision on the degree of Brandon McInerney’s guilt for killing 15-year-old Larry King. The nine-woman, three-man panel said they took a series of votes with the last one being seven in favor of voluntary manslaughter, while five others supported either first-degree or second-degree murder.
What complete goddamned horseshit. He threatened to kill him, and then he killed him. How on earth is that manslaughter?

Here’s a road I find the other day while out on my bike: 
The power’s back on! & Has been for a while: I really appreciated a break from the internets.
No Power
Due to a freak thunderstorm that had gusts of up to 80 mph, we have no power and haven’t all day, and may not again until Sunday or Monday.
If you’re looking for me, this is one of those rare times the phone may make more sense, although I will come into the office to check email while we have no power at home.
