An online threat of violence shuts down all Charlottesville schools
Public school campuses in Charlottesville will be shuttered Friday for a second straight day and more than 4,300 students will be kept out of classrooms after a threat of racial violence surfaced online.
In a message to families, Rosa Atkins, superintendent of Charlottesville City Schools, said an investigation involving state and federal authorities remains active, necessitating the unusual step of keeping schools closed.
We would like to acknowledge and condemn the fact that this threat was racially charged. We do not tolerate hate or racism, Atkins said.
The entire staff and School Board stand in solidarity with our students of color and with people who have been singled out for reasons such as religion or ethnicity or sexual identity in other vile threats made across the country or around the world. We are in this together, and a threat against one is a threat against all.

Very fine people indeed...
A priest was stabbed in a church in Canada today while the whole thing was being livestreamed.
Police have so far been silent on the attacker's ethnicity, name, religion, and possible motive so of course this leads us to the logical conclusion that this is yet another white supremacist attack. Because the media these days are totally downplaying those attacks. Yup. Nothing to see here.

An attorney for the Staten Island man accused of killing a reputed Gambino mob boss says the 24-year-old suspect was influenced by far-right internet rhetoric and radicalized by the QAnon conspiracy theory and President Donald Trump. Anthony Comello appeared in a St. George criminal court Monday and was arraigned on charges including murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with the March 13 shooting death of Francesco “Frankie Boy” Cali outside his home. While his client did not plead guilty to the crime, lawyer Robert Gottlieb cited “other right-wing conspiracy websites, hate words that have been spewed by citizens, including politicians, including right at the White House.” In court, Comello displayed handwritten pro-Trump slogans on his palm, including the phrases “MAGA Forever,” “Make America Great Again,” and “Patriots in Charge.”
So Donald Trump is causing people to kill mafia dons now huh?
