Black Lives Matter

Earlier this week, Alton Sterling was killed in front of a convenience store in Baton Rouge. There are two videos in the public domain for this one and there may be more. The owner of the store has been forthcoming about what he witnessed, which sure looks like a plain execution from here. The Justice Department and the FBI are investigation and kudos to the Governor of Louisiana for getting them involved so quickly. In the midst of the media reports of Sterling's previous run ins with the law, it seems that Sterling had a gun in his pocket. He was carrying a gun in an open-carry state.
