From the Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist whose reporting led to the Netflix series Unbelievable, a searing, no-holds-barred account of two linked and tragic deaths stemming from the 2020 George Floyd protests that explores the complex political and racial mistrust and division of today’s America.
On May 30, 2020, in Omaha, Nebraska, amid the protests that rocked our nation after George Floyd’s death at the hands of police, thirty-eight-year-old white bar owner and Marine veteran Jake Gardner fatally shot James Scurlock, a twenty-two-year-old Black protestor and young father. What followed were two investigations of Scurlock’s death, one conducted by the white district attorney Don Kleine, who concluded that Gardner had legally acted in self-defense and released without a trial, and a second grand jury inquiry conducted by African American special prosecutor Fred Franklin that indicted Gardner for manslaughter and demanded he face trial. Days after the indictment, Gardner killed himself with a single bullet to the head.
The deaths of both Scurlock and Gardner gave rise to a toxic brew of misinformation, false claims, and competing political agendas. The two men, each with their own complicated backgrounds, were turned into grotesque caricatures. Between the heated debates and diatribes, these twin tragedies amounted to an ugly and heartbreaking reflection of a painfully divided country. Here, Joe Sexton masterfully unpacks the whole twisting, nearly unbelievable chronicle into a meticulously reported and nuanced account of the two deaths, explaining which claims were true and which distorted or simply false. The Lost Sons of Omaha carefully examines some of the most pressing issues facing America today, including our country’s dire need for gun control and mental health reform; the dangerous spread of fake news, particularly on social media; and the urgent call to band together in the collective pursuit of truth, fairness, and healing.

and the constitution and bill of rights have to be eroded because of it, all because of a few spoiled ninjas and marxists that want to play the victim card.

You really do talk an uncommon amount of bollocks

Here’s a better review for anyone who doesn’t know that rmoor posts very far right, including fascist, books in the regular. This author is laughable in how far he goes to say a far right racist isn’t really racist…

> rmoor posts very far right
He posts the best stuff. If it isn’t proMarx antiUSA antiWest, it’s “far right”. Shows how crazy the left is. Bill Clinton would be far right.

Clinton is right wing, not far right, but a right wing liberal. Only the USA thinks that it’s liberals are far left or even left at all. Biden is basically Reagan give or take an issue here or there. Plenty of other countries have more than two viable parties that aren’t all center right to far right like the USA.
So, if you think the far right isn’t far right, then it’s scary to think of what you categorize it as.
