Sometimes the news cycle slows ahead of the holidays. People go about their holiday shopping, sip eggnog and stop engaging in political shenanigans, suing each other, lighting things on fire and committing crimes.
And then there are times like this week, when the pending arrival of the holiday in no way mitigates the flood of weird, wild and wacky news.
The Current's most-read story this week concerned the revelation that the ex-San Antonio cop who drew national outrage for trying to feed a homeless person a shit sandwich was able to get hired again — and as a cop!
Folks also read up on an armed militia's attempt to intimidate the city's LGBTQ+ community by protesting outside a Christmas-themed drag show. Plenty also took a gander at our coverage of the Pearl's paid-parking controversy and details about a UFC beatdown coming to the AT&T Center.
Read on and see what other news and carnage you may have missed.
