I think Dave Evans' appearance was so powerful that it woke some of them up. The MSNBC legal analyst (I think her name is Susan Filan) looked almost to be in tears.
Yeah - I too noticed that she looked pretty shook up.
Yep it is one thing for a DA to go after white trash for racial payback, it is another thing when it could be their families.
"I think Dave Evans' appearance was so powerful that it woke some of them up."
Some of them for sure. At least that's a start. Before he spoke he was just an image to them, and they supplied the description of who and what he was as a person. An evil "frat boy". We all know the field day the press has with THAT expression. Totally negative. Just a "partying, amoral, rich boy who would thing nothing of mistreating this poor, single, black mother."
By going on camera and speaking directly to us, and them, he showed himself to be very much like "us". That could be my son, or yours, or, gasp, theirs.
