Duncan is dead. The state is spared the cost of a trial for attempted murder.

As if Dallas weren’t enough of a circus already, Reverend Jesse Jackson has announced that he will be working with community leaders in Dallas to make sure that Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan receives “the best humanitarian relief” available.

Duncan should have never been alliowed to enter the country. Maybe, just maybe, the Reverend Jackson will be good enough to escort Duncan’s corpse back to African, from where he should have never left.
