Cecil County, MD – Late Friday night, in a well-populated rural town about an hour north of Baltimore, a Maryland State Police trooper shot and killed a man in a Walmart parking lot. Local and state police refused to comment on the matter or release the victim’s name when they were contacted by The Free Thought Project.
The incident went viral after a video was posted to Youtube showing the scene that developed around the murder just after it occurred. In the video, a woman who is seemingly a loved one of the deceased can be seen crying uncontrollably shouting that “You are a murderer! He was not armed! You killed my husband!” In one part of the video, she can be seen sobbing and punching the police car. It was later reported that this woman was subdued by police and put in restraints on a stretcher.

Jeb Bush’s Super PAC, Right to Rise, sent out 86,000 mailers to Iowa voters on Thursday in an effort to push its candidate above the mid-single digits in the polls.
And at first glance, the mailer seems fine. But a closer look at Bush’s left hand reveals something a little bit off. Yep, it’s black. So two possibilities: Jeb Bush should probably get to a dermatologist, or someone is really bad at Photoshop. Continue reading “Jeb Bush super PAC sends out mailer with major Photoshop fail”
