I occurs to me that Palin’s starting to look a little like Katey Sagal did in _Sons of Anarchy_. Just add some blonde highlights and a leather jacket. ---

Update: because Track is white and privileged and his family is notorious, he has been [released](https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/crime-courts/2017/12/21/track-palin-released-from-jail-to-house-arrest/) under house arrest with an ankle monitor. This despite several previous assaults and a long local history of people like him not being released prior to trial. He apparently told the arresting officers that they were “peasants”. ---

Yep. This wouldn’t even be a blip on a news cycle if it were some random black guy. In fact, if it were some random black guy, most likely the only thing we’d be reading about him is his obituary. ---
