The Content of His Character

A south suburban man who, according to prosecutors, posted on Facebook earlier this month that he wanted to “kill as many cops and unarmed white kids as possible” and kept a makeshift shooting range in his basement was ordered held in lieu of no bail in Cook County court on Saturday. [More]

But there's a wrinkle:

But the owner of the home told the station that gun belonged to her and that Woodfin does not pose a threat to the community ... "He was speaking his mind," Beatrice Franklin told the station.

See, he was "outraged." And I'm sure commensurate understanding would be extended if a white person posted about killing "as many ... unarmed black kids as possible."

Even if the gun is hers, the fingerprints of a "prohibited person" on it would make for a case. Thing is, if we're going to have consistent justice and not prove out the "progressive" charge of racism in selective prosecutions, isn't there someone else who's left plenty of evidence of gun-handling while under "disability"?
