Actors Richard Dreyfuss, Sean Penn and Denzel Washington and former boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter - who spent 20 years in a New Jersey prison before his triple-murder conviction was overturned - spoke out for Cooper's clemency.

You've got to wonder how anyone can publicly support a man who hacked several people to death. Dreyfuss had written such an eloquent tribute to Charlton Heston ("He's not Moses, but he's Something Else"), that I thought his synapses were firing correctly these days. Guess he's been dragged back down into the pit of liberal activism.

Including hacking to death two children and severely injuring one child. I wonder if Cooper had been white, would these actors have been as sympathetic.

Actually, I wonder if the victims had been black would these actors have been so sympathetic towards the murderer.

I also wonder how dealing with the real world and his fellow actors will impact Arnold.
