In his defense, the pepper spray really helps cut down on all that annoying protesting

So this is how my mom just learned not to read books by the stove …

• Which is more outrageous: that UC Davis Police Lt. John Pike casually pepper-sprayed detained, non-moving student protesters ^[pictured], or the fact that he likely won’t get so much as a slap on the wrist for it?

• Watching the watchers: Chicago police illegally detain university journalism professor for recording public arrest & delete the video.

• Breitbart protégé James O’Keefe is undergoing some tough times. I feel for him. (Schadenfreude, that is.)
