I’m not sure anyone actually read the article your cited.
While Booker first blames society in general (”... We should all take responsibility...”), he later goes on to personally apologize: “I want to repent to this church. I’ve made mistakes in this city,” Booker said.
And then the Police Director made his statement:
“I bring an apology that we did not prevent this tragedy,” Newark Police Director Gary McCarthy said at Hightower’s funeral, before vowing to bring all of the monsters who executed the college-bound teen to justice.
“If I personally have to chase people across the country and across the earth, I will,” he said.
And from Corzine:
An emotional Gov. Jon Corzine was also repentant.
“We have failed our children,” Corzine said.
Still citing the article, “But the politicians’ apologies were little consolation for Hightower’s father, Willie Garvin Jr., who broke down in sobs outside the church when asked about the bungling that allowed illegal immigrant Jose Carranza, 28, free to allegedly massacre his daughter.
“They better pray they keep them in jail and catch all of them,” the devastated dad said. “They all need to pay.
“Don’t let my child die in vain. I remember her smile. Remember all the good times. Remember all the good she did.””
So between the three of them, it SEEMS like they realize they let a dangerous, repeat offender murderous thug out when he should have been locked up. It looks like they finally get it. But only time will tell.
The only thing that would convince me that they were sincere would be for them to call for President Bush to immediately and effectively secure our borders. For them to announce they were signing up for the 287 (g) program, and most importanty, if they were sincere in recognizing their failure....for them to announce EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, NO MORE SANCTUARY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS!! Anything less than that is unacceptable.
Oh, we read it alright.
See, the astute conservative knows that's three practiced liberals speaking----using the old MO to divert responsibility, to get themselves off the hook.
The stupid libs strike a pose like they're really, really, really,really, really, really,really, really, really,really, really, really, really, really, really sorry about it.
Then it's back to business as usual.
(Snort) Nobody believes liberal ignoramuses.
