Radley Balko’s masterful evisceration of Coleman Hughes’s piss poor stab at being A Great American Truth Teller

So. going to preface this with… I’m a manager for contract security, and I work in Minneapolis; and was downtown during the riots.
Chauvin is a pig that absolutely was guilty of murdering Floyd.
but the retconning doesn’t surprise me at all. I remember one random guy ranting eloquently about how Gov. Walz was… uh… not condemning the riots… pointing to a tweet that was literally saying the exact opposite of what the guy said.
(shout out to Giant Affro Guy who was roller skating down Washington Ave in full on 70’s disco clothes. I hope you know I was staring because of how awesome that was.)
Balko is the first of two writers who shaped my journey from conservative to anarchist. His writing in this series is clear, concise and damning.
That said I’m also something if a Hughes fan. I typically find him thoughtful and insightful, but his buy-in to the Fall of Minneapolis documentary was disappointing.

I, too, am a fan of a black guy who went to private school and then Columbia telling everyone that race should always be ignored.
I am a great admirer of the people who pull up the rope after they’ve climbed the wall and let all the others get eaten by the tigers.
