Schadenfreude is not a very kind emotion, and it can veer dangerously into hubris (which, the Greeks tell us, the gods always punish). Nevertheless, schadenfreude has to be the dominant emotion when a black Democrat who is married to Los Angeles's first black district attorney brandishes a gun at Black Lives Matter activists who showed up early in the morning to protest the D.A.'s belief that her job requires her to prosecute criminals.
In addition to Jackie Lacey, the D.A., and her husband, David, the prime actor in this drama is Melina Abdullah, who identifies herself on Twitter as a "Professor of Pan-African Studies at Cal State LA, #BlackLivesMatter organizer, Pan-Africanist, Hip Hop scholar, womanist, truth-teller, mama." According to Abdullah's speaker's page, she is the ultimate woke scholar, for she is "a recognized expert on race, gender, class, and social movements." Also, she's "a womanist scholar-activist, understanding the role that she plays in the academy as intrinsically linked to broader struggles for the liberation of oppressed people." And one more thing: She's a bully who cries foul when people stand up to her.

My Take - So Melina Abdullah has been educated to be nothing more than an enormous pain in the butt and she's being paid to contaminate the minds of young people to be the same. Another good reason to stop funding "higher" education, and force her to go out and get a real job.
Here's the real question. If she's so concerned about the lives of blacks why is she so opposed to jailing blacks who commit crimes, since most crimes against blacks is perpeterated by other blacks.
