A reader writes to make an interesting point: not long ago the Black Muslim leader Louis Farrakhan made an inflammatory speech in Baltimore (to see just how inflammatory — indeed, quite literally so — have a look here).
The NYPD shooter, Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley, who was certainly black, and apparently a Muslim, was, perhaps, in Baltimore at the time. Our reader wonders if he was in attendance. (One also wonders if Mr. Brinsley hit the Derbyshire Daily Double for descriptions of newsworthy outlaws these days: “aspiring rap artist” and “recent convert to Islam”.)
More to come in days ahead, no doubt.

Any word yet from the NYT on whether or not this double murder was racially motivated. I wouldn’t know because I’ve already wrapped my fish. I’m an aspiring wrap artist, too.
Funny!! BTW, what kind of fish? Black, Muslim and an aspiring rapper…can a tv series be far behind ala “anti American Idol”?
Gefilte fish.
Makes good sense Big Henry.
