From Hullabaloo 5/27/2014, this commentary on the statement by the father of a boy shot to death in Santa Barbara:

[H]ere’s brave Todd Kincannon, chairman of the Election Commission of Simpsonville, South Carolina, stepping up in 140 characters, to defend his freedom against the onslaught of grieving parents.

Fuck him. He is a piece of shit. His tragedy sucks, but he blamed me for it and wants to take away my rights. The guy is trying to take away my rights to protect my family. Fuck him every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

And Todd is raising a little Viking who, I am sure, one day will conquer and pillage on behalf of some brokerage house or real estate company.

No idea how my son will die, but I know it won’t be cowering like a bitch at UC Santa Barbara. Any son of mine would have been shooting back.

This is a list that anyone would be well advised to draw a reading list from.  There are lots of other fine things to read in the universe; but this is a list of the kinds of things students should be reading:
