In May, Deborah Blakey, one of Jones’ top aides, left the Georgetown temple headquarters, obtained a temporary passport from the American embassy and fled to the United States. The date was May 13th, Jones’ birthday. When Father heard of the betrayal, he called a “white night,” a crisis alert, and the community sat stunned in the pavilion as he raged. They were betrayed. Wasn’t it better to die? He challenged anyone in the community to speak for life. When they did, he battered them with arguments. He said he was “the alpha and the omega,” the beginning and the end. He said it over and over again. The white night lasted twenty-eight hours. No one was allowed to go to the bathroom without an armed guard. Anyone who tried to run, he said, would be shot.

Frank Drebin, who kills James’ Hector Savage with a firehose stream to the mouth in the 1991 sequel The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear. It would be James’ penultimate film role in a big-screen career that also included Blue Thunder, Hearts of the West, Return to Witch Mountain, Burnt Offerings and Vanishing Point.   … [Read more...] about Anthony James Dies: ‘Unforgiven’ & ‘In The Heat Of The Night’ Actor Was 77

I’m not naive. I knew poking the hornet’s nest that is the Second Amendment would get a heated response — a response that, it is absolutely critical to note, was no doubt child’s play compared to the ongoing harassment that many women and people of color who do this on a regular basis face when discussing this issue and others. I also know there are reasonable people who could disagree with me on this subject. But the scale and tenor of the reaction the article inspired did surprise me in some ways.
