There\u2019s your Occam&#8217;s razor <em>motivation<\/em>. It was a crime of passion. I was in an east side bar in Milwaukee in the 80s when a man &#8220;took exception&#8221; to another man dissing his girlfriend then smashed a bottle of PBR on the rail and thrust the jagged half of it into the face of the creep. There is protected speech, sure,  though not all of it is prudent speech and in a dangerous world it\u2019s important to be able to read the room. The victim&#8217;s wife had implored him to start wearing a bullet proof vest at his rallies (not that it would have stopped the bullet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Montel Williams&#8217; take on the motive of the murderer was dismissed by all other guests on the panel who preferred instead to pander to the rage of how he <em>must&#8217;ve been<\/em> politically motivated because discussing it as merely another du jour crime of passion in America doesn\u2019t sell Ads (or fit the king&#8217;s narrative), nor would it animate the panel. Montel Williams if you ask me was the only one on that panel who understood the likely true provocation to violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f2682fbfbe7&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rknibbe.com\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Glam-Husky-500x500.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rknibbe.com\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Glam-Husky-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/www.rknibbe.com\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Glam-Husky-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rknibbe.com\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Glam-Husky-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.rknibbe.com\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Glam-Husky-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rknibbe.com\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Glam-Husky-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rknibbe.com\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Glam-Husky.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Husky Glam<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Our&#8221; pearl-clutching AG sure is a piece of work.
