but Michael Jackson enters the courtroom with his doctor at his side.
Liberals may be right about how the public will react to this, i.e., "Six deaths on the rez? No biggie."
Sometimes it takes a 2x4 across the noggin for me to catch on...

I was going to mention that. I just goes without saying with the folks at 4.
Yes please, don't blame the poor misunderstood killer. The gun possessed him! It seduced him! Damn these killing machines!
I worked there for 3 or 4 days back in 2002, and it didn't seem like any kind of rough area. Obviously, working there for 4 days doesn't exactly mean I'm an expert on the town. You being a Minnesotan (and me not) I'll defer to your view on it.
I'm right here buddy :)
piss poor, Mr Magoo style news reporting
I remember when there was an indian uprising @ Red Lake. We were all told to stay close to town for our safety..
Yeah, it is kinda a rough area

Good lord. Why isn't this on TV?
