The creators of crazy ideas like No Bail and Criminal Justice Reform are NEVER around when their schemes are followed by disaster.

Don't Make the Black Kids Angry Podcast by Colin Flaherty
"Colin Flaherty was the reporter’s reporter -- especially on tough stories. And he was recognized for it with more than 50 journalism awards from around the country.
"Now he has written a book about the toughest story of all: Racial violence."
"Flaherty has the goods: This is an important and penetrating book about a big problem. Read it. Pass it around. Send it to a local talk show host or, better still, a reporter."
"Lord knows they need it."
White Girl Bleed a Lot ”has gone viral.”
“A favorite of conservative voices.”
"Flaherty digs up some great examples of officials denying or covering up black violence.
