1. The DOJ has a policy of NOT pursuing cases where the defendent is black and the victim is white- per testimony to the US Civil rights commission by the one lawyer who quit.

2. The DOJ has blocked any other testimony from the lawyers it presently has to the USCRC.

3. The case had already been won, and the lawyers were told to drop it.

4. There is testimony from a civil rights lawyer ( who was on Kennedy's election team) that the racial slurs and threats were made- and the video tape supports the threatening use of the club.



If there are those here that think it is ok to NOT prosecurte civil rights cases because the defendent is black and the victim is white, I'm sorry for you. I hate to think of what the backlash would be- it will set civil rights back at least 50 years.




Ebbie,

"The case, bb, seems fairly mild. It appears more to be a violation of ordinances governing activities close to a polling place.

The "deadly weapon" was ONE nightstick."


Hey, in the south it was "Just one burning cross", so it must be ok????? Calling a distinguished civil rights lawyer ( a Democrat, NOT Adams) a "Cracker" and acting in a threatening manner is OK by you????
