After a statewide recount, the margin of victory for Justice Allison Riggs has changed ... not at all. She still leads Griffin by 734 votes, and it's time for him to accept defeat like a grown-up. That's what Chief Justice Cheri Beasley did in 2020, and it's what democracy requires.

Teddy, a fluffy, 13-pound deaf and blind Shih Tzu mix, stumbled around a stranger’s yard. He was lost. Then a police officer pulled up. Within minutes, he fired two shots. Teddy, a beloved 5-year-old pet, was left lifeless. Now residents are left furious with their city, which found no wrongdoing.

Not gonna quote the line Zach de la Rocha first performed in this very city, across the hills in Northridge — but looking at the cozy camaraderie of law-enforcement agencies with right-wing thugs of varied provenance certainly provokes thoughts that rhyme.
