More politeness on the byways.

Calhoun, a white male, allegedly threw Jeanneie Muhammad, an African-American Muslim woman, to the ground, then drew his gun and pointed it at her and bystanders after a minor traffic incident. While Calhoun was in the police vehicle, Muhammad said he used racial slurs.

“While he was sitting in the car, he looked at me and said, you n*****, ‘You probably didn’t even have insurance,’ and I said, ‘Oh be quiet,’” Muhammad said.

When engaged in an automotive mishap, react politely.

The incident occurred about 11:25 a.m. Tuesday following a traffic accident at Sanders Road and Colvin Avenue. The report said (62 year old–ed.) Calhoun displayed a handgun and tried to steal the woman’s purse.

Calhoun is also accused of grabbing the victim, biting her left arm, and throwing her to the ground.

Bruce Lowry cuts through the double-speak. A snippet:

It is laughable that some commentators and politicians refuse to acknowledge this for what it was, saying Trump’s comments toward Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna S. Pressley of Massachusetts were not racist, or misogynistic, but only “nativist.”

That’s like saying the president’s “birther” conspiracy claims toward former President Barack Obama were only “nativist,” and not intended to incite racism or stoke the race-fed rage in some “white nationalist” quarters still steaming over the election of our first black president.
