That's a pity. His father James Dickey was as Southern as it gets.
What Christopher Dickey was saying -- that the killer had to have had some terrorist connections to get guns in France -- might have been better received if he'd expressed it differently, without dragging in Alabama or South Carolina.
And liberal through and through. I despise these Southern natives who made fortunes selling disparaging stereotypes of Southerners/Southern life to gullible Northern city-dwellers.
