Selective Skepticism, Alabama, and the Outrage Economy

Cause Before Effect: Why National Unity Is Canada’s Foundational Issue

Every time something like this happens, the public debate follows the same pattern. People immediately argue over whether they had it coming, whether it was justified, whether the rules were followed, or whether the wrong call was made in the heat of the moment.
