Well, he’s having a rather good day it seems.
I wonder if he was the proverbial good guy with a gun the NRA jabbers about or just a member of the Gang That can’t Shoot Straight?

Nah, “Idiot” is more like it.

Considering the victim/perp is apparently a white guy, who was trying to blame a non-existent black guy, don´t you think that your choice of photo to accompany the story is perhaps inappropriate, TPM?

Good grief! Even idiots think the police are racist…(that is, believe that black men are prone to gun violence and mayhem).

Plus, why is the disembodied black hand grabbing the guy’s penis? WTF, TPM?

I was just thinking that saggy pants are kinda of loaded - so to speak - image, especially in this context. But I can see your read as well.
I presumed that was the long hand of the law reaching to apply pressure to the wound.
Totally appropriate in this situation.

I wonder how many times during this episode someone is going to answer his questions with, “It’s elementary, my dear Watson…”
I was gonna call this guy a complete dick, but…

Probably be a while before he comes up with another stiff story like that again —
Are you trying to imply that TPM has ever had any concern for the appropriateness of photos that accompany articles? Do you have any evidence of this?

Didn’t this dude learn from the Sarah Smith lie? The crazy white girl who buckled her two small boys in their car seats in the back of her car and she pushed her vehicle into a lake and blamed their deaths on a black man who hijacked her car. Well, she is spending life in prison now. She wanted to dump her boys so that she could snag her a wealthy lad and she’d be set for life. In other words, she thought the boys were in her way of having that wonderful relationship!
Considering his need for a gun, I’m surprised his penis was big enough to hit.
However, help is on the way:

Hmm… ya got a point.
TPM isn’t always impeccable in its photo choices, but I challenge anyone to go to a stock-photo service and find something that’s perfect for this situation. I mean, ask yourself exactly what keywords you’d type in.

Charles Stuart. Killed his wife in Boston, then blamed “a black guy” for it. The ensuing manhunt shut down entire sections of the city and turned every black male into a potential criminal – until Stuart’s brother told the cops he had lied. Stuart then killed himself to avoid prosecution.
That was in 1989, four years before Susan Smith tried a similar scam. Stuart did it for the insurance money. Smith apparently was crazy.

I don’t believe this story for a minute. In SD (my current home), if you are gonna blame someone, you usually blame an indian. So this guy is either making shit up, or he’s from out of state. Probably North Dakota. You can’t trust them ND folks.
