I’ve seen precious little serious discussion of that question. Kenosha is a small city of about 100,000 people, about 10% of whom are black. In the videos I’ve seen so far of what’s going on in Kenosha, many of the … Continue reading →
I did watch a little bit of it after all, because it actually held my interest more than usual. One of the things about which I was curious was how the low-energy situation of an almost-empty hall would be handled, … Continue reading →
