A moose once bit my sister.......

"I don't think there was a lot of cheering in the black community that these guys were going to go on trial in a death penalty state," he said.


Yeah, mass murders be damned. It only matters that they were black. Being black is a mitigating factor apparently.

[George from New England]

I thought that some MD law prevented him from doing a book?

[TomGuy]

Moose is still hoping that it will be white guys in the white van. Sometimes reality bites!

[old school]

What a dumb-ass! In other words, he, too, is a victim!

[TheBigB]

I thought it was George Carlin who bit her?!

...or was it Ted Nugent...

[just mimi]

He writes he has mixed feelings about Malvo and Muhammad facing the death penalty. Both are black, a racial group that faces death sentences in disproportionate numbers, Moose writes.

"I don't think there was a lot of cheering in the black community that these guys were going to go on trial in a death penalty state," he said.

This is sickening. This is moral relativism taken to the level of the absurd. These two terrorists terrorized the country and killed a hell of a lot of people. I don't care about the color of their skin, they are guilty as sin, but Moose obviously has a problem with that.

Anger over a life tinged by racism

His performance during the sniper investigation made him look like the poster boy for affirmative action gone very, very wrong. For him to cry racism is an insult to all the decent, competent black cops in America (not to mention an insult to all the innocent white guys driving white box trucks, whom he dishonestly branded as murderers).

Hey Moose, you idiot, they shot black people, including a black child. I doubt that creates a lot of sympathy in the black community.

I really dislike this guy.

Anger over a life tinged by racism You beat me to it. I've seen this happen with people I like. One example: I had a black friend in law school. He was extremely personable, and I liked him a lot. But he struggled with the concepts we were learning, and it was pretty apparent that the standards had been lowered to admit him. I never saw his grades, but they couldn't have been good. Regardless, he got an externship with one of the best firms in the state. This was an externship reserved exclusively for minorities. They were people who couldn't get a clerkship with the firm based on grades, as the rest of us did. But the firm was very interested in encouraging minority lawyers. So my friend externed with them. The exterships usually lasted a year. But they kept him on for an additional year, trying to work with him. He made a good first impression, and had he managed to get a decent grasp on the law, I'm sure they would have kept him. But, they finally let him go. I ran into him one day and asked him what he was doing. This must have been shortly after the externship ended. He said to me, with a perfectly straight face, that the firm let him go because of "racism." He was completely unable to recognize his own failings. It never dawned on him that the only reason he got his foot in the door in the first place was because of his race. No white guy with his class standing would even have gotten an interview. He was angry at the firm, when they had bent over backwards for him. That is Moose, personified. Feeling sorry for himself, when he had obviously been elevated way above his ability.

Paragraphs are good.

Moose is lionized for targeting "white men" and letting
the perps go, and for now violating Maryland law.

It's more than that. Moose used his own hatred against white people and sat on information given after the first shooting occurred that would have stopped the killings a lot sooner.

That's why he should be investigated for obstruction of justice, at the very least.

If you tell a kid, from the time they are born, that they are stupid and will never amount to anything, the odds are highly in favor that the kid never in fact will amount to anything.

I have trouble blaming either Moose or the young man cited above for their attitude. Our PC society, and the race baiters that make a market in PC, tell them that their chances of success are slim to non-existent no matter what they do. It's no wonder they think racism is responsible for all their problems, they hear it, are in fact indoctrinated into it, through every step of their lives; in school, at home, on the news, in movies, in music, everywhere.

It's a wonder any black person can succeed at anything, when you consider that they go through life having been told they will fail becasue of racism, by every person they think is 'on their side'.

Your freind obviously wanted to do well and be successful in his life or he wouldn't have put forth the effort in the first place. It's such a waste; both of his time and effort, and of the resources that could have put somebody more prepared on the path to success.

Racist SOB
They ought to release every white guy he ever arrested and sent to prison
at least re-exam the evidence he cooked up
Had he been born white ...I imagine he would have risen quite high in the Klan

[mountaineer]

Your anecdote reminds me of a law school classmate of mine who blamed his low score on a criminal law exam on racism, even though the tests were "anonymous," that is, students' names did not appear on the test booklet, only their Social Security numbers. Nevertheless, he insisted that the professor could tell he was black, presumably by the way he wrote.

He's now a criminal attorney in a large midwestern city, representing only black defendants.

[bedolido]

Racist SOB

I didn't know he was a racist. I didn't see it in the story. where did you get that info?

[lady lawyer]

"He's now a criminal attorney . . ."

That's what my friend did, too, for the most part. He hung out a shingle, and, as one of the few black attorneys in the area, black clients flocked to him. I saw some of his work when we were opposite him on appeal. It was terrible. But there was no way his clients would have known that. Affirmative action hurts everybody, ultimately, doesn't it?
