I don't think anyone has a "serious disconnect with reality". All I said was that everyone is entitled to their opinion without being personally attacked. Many people are polarized on this case because he is a popular athlete. The story will only be finished when the trial is over.

I just think that personal attacks on this site are getting out of hand. I guess that makes people feel better, or more important, I don't know.

I agree.

If one analyzes the timing of the Kobe Bryant case, it has racial overtones.

It is just too perfect of a timing for me to believe the story.

Look at the case's timing and watch how the Democrats will play with Bryant's life in order to manipulate this issue to the benefit of their political candidates.

My view is that the actual case will not start until late 2003 with conclusion in 2004. This means that the "no justice no peace" crowd will have a new poster man (Bryant).

If they drag out the different leftist lawyer/talking heads on every newschannel, Gloria All-Red et al will be spouting "civil rights" talk points.

The only question in my mind centers on the political party affiliation of the prosecuting DA.

If he's a democrat, it will be very obvious that this story is really a tool of Presidential politics.
