Letโs humanize Jordan Neely, not his killer.
โThis was a good guy,โ said Smith. โHe would be in the New York City train station using his God-gifted ability and talentโฆFamily members of Neely have said that the 30-year-old struggled with mental health issues after his mother was murdered [at their apartment] when he was 14. โโฆhe has never been the same, said Neelyโs aunt.โ

We want to see the monarchy abolished and the King replaced with an elected, democratic head of state. In place of the King we want someone chosen by the people, not running the government but representing the nation independently of our politicians. An elected, effective head of state. The monarchy is wrong in principle, it's bad for British politics and it falls well short of the standards we should expect of public institutions.
โAccording to a recent poll, more than 70 percent of Britons under the age of 50 are indifferent to the coronation. Even so, a staggering 250 million pounds ($315m) of magicked-up taxpayer money will be spent on this single day even as thousands of nurses, doctors, teachers and other key public workers have been told for months there is no money in the coffers to offer them a meaningful pay rise.โ
Best explanation I've seen of why the Paradox of Tolerance is no paradox at all.
