Unfortunately, it worked.
That's what we're looking at here. Unfortunately, the 'incite to riot' is harder to prove then the obvious televised effect. Either behavior is criminal and should be treated as such. As the stories filter down it seems there has been a substantial amount of pot stirring on both sides of the fence here. If the skinheads planned to abuse an interpretation of free speech to incite a riot, they should be locked up. And the thugs who threw rocks, burned bars, accosted gas station attendants, and damaged public property should all be arrested too. I think Lucas County Jail should suffer a sell-out crowd (as a figure of speech...)
Now, having said that, what are the bets? Well, since it will take work on the part of the Lucas Co. Prosecutor to build a conspiracy to incite riot case, I'm not holding my breath on that. On the other side, a minimal few of the thugs (probably those who got caught full face on TV) will be charged with anything at all (those cases requiring the least amount of work by the LuCo Prosecutor). Since no one will in essence have to suffer the consequences of their faulty decision processes, the only real thing that will be accomplished is ensurring that the same thing will happen again...
Sort of like our lack of response to the first WTC bombing guaranteed the repeat... Now, if the LuCo Prosecutor and Ronnie Earle get together, maybe they can get Rove indicted for this... yeah, that's the ticket... /sarc
I've been reading stuff I Googled. I've freepmailed it to some. It's stuff I can't post on FR but if anyone wants to know the whole of this, it's there to read. Knights
Knews Knetwork (michiganklanboyz) had a hand in this too. I'm not believing what I'm seeing!
