Think what it means to realize that no argument or evidence is ever going to persuade them to stop. It would be like a fight with a hungry wild animal. Nothing about that situation is compatible with getting a good nights sleep. Any support along the lines of "Don't worry, it will turn out OK" must always fall short of providing comfort because if the "system" were working in a sane fashion the danger would never have been un-leashed in the first place. So I have vast personal regard for the courage those guys and their families displayed in the face of deadly serious danger- that persisted long enough to count as "forever" psychologically.<BR/> Second, when in that sort of danger, and you are lucky, a gang forms to protect you. If you are truly blessed, you have a gang like KC, B.Bannon, Chesire, and many others who would dive in head first and go at the bad guys without mercy and restraint.<BR/> When watching those guys speak on this matter one saw a rare thing in real life - world class intellects passionately engaged in a public struggle where there were no shades of grey. Whenever you see the legal teams of three felony defendants working together as a team you know something extra-ordinary is going on. The kids were really innocent. But the good guys were heavily out-numbered by the bad guys and the bad guys seemed to own all of the media outlets. Like the Alamo only without any of the moral complexities.<BR/> I picked up on this strongly very early on and I admit my attitude towards Nifong and his enablers often bordered on being somewhat unhinged. Like in the movie Sin City where the character Marve explains his attitude towards hit men. "I like them because no matter what you do to them, you don't feel bad."<BR/> Put altogether, this saga has been for me one of the most vivid and engaging in my life, even if entirely vicarious. Seeing the good guys rescued and redeemed in an unprecedented fashion, seeing Nifong twitching his way thru a series of doomed defensive efforts, watching absolutely world class intellects working in unity and passionate engagement to bring all about - it is for the ages - as far as I am concerned and more than a few times I got choked up about it.<BR/> Maybe the next phase will be equally vivid and important; but I doubt it. At any rate, these are things I wanted to say today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-17708255024739313822007-09-02T09:19:00.000-04:002007-09-02T09:19:00.000-04:00Has anyone heard anything from or about magnum???Has anyone heard anything from or about magnum???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-73075758015356670172007-09-02T01:30:00.000-04:002007-09-02T01:30:00.000-04:00jamil hussein said..."Seriously, I hope KC has bod...jamil hussein said...<BR/><BR/>"Seriously, I hope KC has bodyguards in Durham."<BR/><BR/>Two words for you to keep in mind KC. <I>Pym Fortuyn.</I> The Left plays rough with those who threaten its illusions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-2579447867762326592007-09-02T01:16:00.000-04:002007-09-02T01:16:00.000-04:00"A “victim-friendly” prosecutor, concerned with “v..."A “victim-friendly” prosecutor, concerned with “victims’ rights.”"<BR/><BR/>Between this quote and hearing Wendy Murphy referred to as a "victims rights activist" I've reached the conclusion that "victims rights" is a euphemism for "guilty until proven innocent."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-76634926482814671912007-09-02T00:57:00.000-04:002007-09-02T00:57:00.000-04:00Hey - Nifong forgot to say "He thought the whole t...Hey - Nifong forgot to say "He thought the whole thing was true, because Levicy told his so.
