Amber Guyger denied parole; Jim Schutze must be crushed

The Dallas Observer reports, linking to the Morning News, that Dallas blondie ex-cop and convicted killer Amber Guyger was recently denied parole, halfway through her 10-year sentence.

I still remember how Jim Schutze, still at the Observer then, had an ever-increasing bromance for her, running PR flak for her racist family, then dove deeper. And, I wound up analyzing why, after the Observer finally kicked him to the curb. IMO, while his stance on Guyger wasn't the precipitating cause for being let go, it was the ultimate cause.

And, on the petard-hoisting angle? Schutze, hater of journalism unions (and maybe of unions in general) would have been protected on that firing were the Observer unionized then.

Presumably, far-right wingnut Jeff Melcher is also crushed.
