"For a story so wild, the film’s achievement lies in its restraint. American Skyjacker is gripping without being lurid, stylish without leaning on cliché, and genuinely gripping from start to finish."
American Skyjacker is now on Apple TV! It's been magical watching the reviews start to come in

One of the protesters that day told me:
"I just want to say, with all this chaos is going on, I'm not going to blame it on the police. But I'm just saying, they [the police] need to get out here in the streets, they need to talk to people."

The killing, on August 19, 2015, led to a landmark $19 million judgement against the officer who killed him. Instead of paying, the City of St. Louis is fighting for a new trial.
The protests the day of the shooting were some of the most chaotic I've covered. Tear gas and fires marked the night.

In 2018 I returned to the story of that helicopter pilot, whose memorial page drew McNally out.
Allen Barklage was so many things -- being the one who foiled McNally's plans was just one. He was a legend in every sense. His flight log for 5/24/78 was one word: "Hijack"

I've mentioned this before, but it's just WILD to me this is the SECOND consecutive St. Louis sheriff who won their office after accusing the previous sheriff of retaliation for firing them for running for sheriff.
Yes, it's confusing.

The kicker: The case Hawley linked to showing Perkins is an "abortion lawyer?" The case involved MO, ID and KS suing to ban the abortion pill -- *after* the Supreme Court's unanimous '24 decision authored by Brett Kavanaugh (btw, not an abortion lawyer), upholding the access to the abortion pill.

Hawley's objections to Hilary Perkins' appointment:
- She's a "Biden abortion lawyer" who "has argued FOR Biden’s outrageous pro-abortion rules"
- She argued for vaccine mandates and said objections to the covid protections were conspiratorial.

I had the pleasure of meeting Eddie, one of the St. Louis Six, in 2019.
Eddie is one of five known deaths to occur in the Gentle Barn's former Missouri residents since it closed its sanctuary here in October 2024. www.stlpr.org/show/st-loui...

Remembering the time in 2016 that Ed Martin -- currently interim U.S. Attorney -- explained to a crowd of "Tea Party for Trump" supporters that "You're not racist if you don't like Mexicans" because Mexicans are not a race.
