A QUESTION ABOUT OLD JURIES AND THE MOVIE “12 ANGRY MEN”
Each time the classic legal drama 12 Angry Men comes on television, I try to tune in and (re)watch it. The “action” takes place almost entirely inside a single small room, with jurors shoe-horned around a table deciding the fate of a Puerto Rican teenager on trial for the murder of his father. Though it fared poorly in movie theaters when first released in 1957, 12 Angry Men has since become a short course and a de facto legal education for multiple generations and is widely acknowledged as one of the best courtroom dramas ever made. To this day, it has timeless lessons for us all about evidence and preliminary judgement.
However, I still have a question about this film that (so far) has never been answered.

Like many of you, I scrolled past news reports and social media posts relating to the decline and fall of the Red Lobster seafood chain these past few weeks, without paying them much attention. I just presumed Red Lobster cut on quality, couldn’t meet rising labor costs, and thus became the latest victim of a transforming economy.

WHEN “VICTIMHOOD” IS THE ENTIRE BRAND:
THE MAGA CONSTRUCT OF POLITICAL OUTRAGE
FOX News and other MAGA-shackled media outlets have become sewer factories of mass outrage, manufacturing scandal and then pumping out one outrage after another designed to feed a baited market stoked with insatiable anger. It’s an assembly line of willful distortion.

WHY DOES AMERICA THINK THIS IS ACCEPTABLE?
Memorial Day is coming up. How do we know this? Just look at the bombardment of upcoming “Memorial Day Sales,” because — you know — nothing honors the war dead more than rushing out to take advantage of 30 percent off a new mattress.

MY THOUGHTS ON LAST NIGHT’S LAS VEGAS MAYORAL DEBATE
I watched last night’s televised debate between the three leading candidates who are running for Mayor of Las Vegas. Even though 15 candidates have officially filed to run, this now appears to be a tight and combative race between three well-established civic leaders, all of whom are well known to those of us who follow local politics.
