But for the bomb, the four would be in their 60s, probably grandmothers. Three were 14 and one was 11 in 1963 when the blast killed them in the 16th Street Baptist Church, which is four blocks from the law office of Doug Jones, who then was 9. He was born in May 1954, 13 days before the U.S. Supreme Courts Brown v. Board of Education school desegregation decision. He was 16 when he attended, at this citys Legion Field, the Alabama Crimson Tide vs. the University of Southern California Trojans football game in which USCs Sam Cunningham, an African American all-American, led a 42-21 thumping of the home team, thereby (so goes the much-embellished but true-enough story) advancing the integration of the region through its cultural pulse, college football. Roll Tide.
As a second-year law student, Jones cut classes to attend the 1977 trial of one of the church bombers, Robert Dynamite Bob Chambliss. In 2001 and 2002, as U.S. attorney, Jones successfully prosecuted two other bombers. Was there resentment about this protracted pursuit of justice? No, he says as he nurses with tea a voice raspy from campaigning, because after 9/11 intervened, punishing domestic terrorism was not controversial. Today, this son of a steelworker stands between Roy Moore an Elmer Gantry mixing piety and cupidity: He and his family have done well financially running a foundation and the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions.

I wonder how many little boys George has had.
The nasty old elitist coot speaks.
Doug Jones is all for partial-birth abortion and funding Planned Parenthood. There’s been a lot more than four murders through those two policy positions.
Doug Jones is a nothing burger whose politics are more in line with Maryland or Oregon than Alabama.
George Will is an atheist, and it is bubbling to the top in his old age, to his detriment I fear.
ROY MOORE TEST
Roy Moore has the right enemies, like George Will globalist shill.
PASS
Winner!
A cautious, thoughtful man would say that a man should be presumed innocent until proven guilty. To not even consider that this is part of a gambit orchestrated by anti-conservative forces, is to be a dupe.
What a bizarre rambling writing style. Was George always this bad? I couldn’t even get through the first paragraph. Who edits this drivel. He might have had an interesting point if he could actually string two coherent sentences together.
Earnestly pray JUSTICE for JUDGE ROY MOORE. This Senate race has exposed the demons in those who condemn him.
Before the election last year, George Will was the nastiest and most vitriolic of the Never-Trumpers. His smug certainty that Trump was about to be crushed made his columns hard to read.
George Will is an embarrassment .... he gives a bad name to dimwits.
George Will = Sell Out Establishment Whore
Go away George Will you FAKE conservative!
Why does anyone care what this little snot nose weasel has to say?
Actually the rumor in Washington is it was his “boyfriend” that promised him that....also..its rumored he wears a bow-tie around his shriveled up nuts
He should quit writing until he can disprove both allegations...
The more of these SAME swamp creatures that were completely appalled by Trump as POTUS come scampering out of the woodwork the MORE SURE I am that Moore IS our guy!!! Draining this swamp is NOT for the faint of heart it is going to take street fighters to do it and I believe Moore is one just as OUR POTUS was!!!!
Like Will, Jones saw no reason to serve his nation in the military. Moore took another view of service I guess.
George Will is an embarrassment. Thats why you dont see him much on TV any more. Turned professional Loon.
I liked George Will when I heard he was a conservative but then he started opening his mouth. It didn’t take long for me for realize he’s a weasel dirtbag that has always been a elitist liberal.
Obama actually broke the embarrassment meter. Now we’re immune.
Back to your baseball cards Willy.
He still writes a good one every now and then, but mostly he’s just an ex-heavy hitter whose lousy instincts have been revealed.
George Will,
Never had stitches from a cleat wound..
Never got drilled by an inside fastball.
Never stood on the mound and struck out the side...
Never had a collision at home plate that required medical attention...
Never hit the ball and touched ‘em all, a moment in the sun.
