(2,012 posts)in) on my way home. SO passionate. Shut this caller down today regarding the NC shooting (caller was a former police officer, and it was a fairly innocuous call, with him agreeing with the charges brought on in OK). When he turned to the NC shooting and started making excuses for the cops ("Well, he might have had a gun, he had a record, etc" , Mark became RIGHTEOUSLY indignant.
"No, no, no. NO! NOOOO!!! How does sitting at a bus stop, WAITING for your son, warrant the DEATH PENALTY! You can't give me ANY scenario where that was called for. Why is DEATH the DEFAULT when police are engaging the black community? NO!" (paraphrasing, of course).
Not giving it justice, but it was great to hear. He's usually very even keeled and calm, but he was having NONE of it. Love Mark Thompson.

(685 posts)I listen to it every afternoon on my way home from work.Some of the most entertaining parts is when he takes a call from a "devil". These are your typical right wing loons who call in to spew their racist trype.
