You’re right, of course.
I understand what you say about the local and national media making it front-page news if these people were to permit themselves to say anything shy of benevolent/forgiving. This blessed media will make anything about racism. There’s a part of me that wants them to, so that someday, the word will become meaningless.
Well, it’s not that I’m right and you are wrong. I just have seen, first hand, how this game works.....
That all being said......there is still the fear (rumor) that this judge is an activist and may minimize the sentence.
If that were to occur, THEN you will see Minnesota Ugly.
Bet on it.
