Outrage Over King Verdict
As sick as I am of rising crime statistics, as tired as I get from living, if not in fear, at least with diligent daily care for my own safety, my heart sank like a stone into my gut when I heard the King trial verdicts.
Does the phrase “gross miscarriage of justice” strike a chord? How about the phrase “creeping fascism”? Be careful, people. Some of history’s worst hoodlums wore uniforms and their actions were sanctioned by the state.
With the Harris execution and now the King verdicts, April has indeed been the cruelest month.
