Justice in Tulsa?
District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler earlier this week told the World he doesn’t know what more the family could have done to avoid the tragedy.
Prosecutors had attempted to keep 61-year-old Majors in jail as he awaited trial on a host of charges including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and protective order violation. Those charges stem from a September 2015 case in which Majors is accused of running down Haifa Jabara — Khalid Jabara’s mother — with his car on a neighborhood street.
Despite prosecutors calling him a “substantial risk to the public,” and a protective order remaining in place against him, Majors was released on bond after eight months in jail. When he was released in May, he returned home next door to the Jabara family.

Donald Trump is to Bernie Sanders as Archie Bunker is to Jon Stewart
Elite media often blur distinctions between right-wing populism and progressive populism — as though there’s not all that much difference between appealing to xenophobia and racism on the one hand and appealing for social justice and humanistic solidarity on the other.
