reading redacted in between the lines and with curiousity.


P.S. I haven't weighed in on the subject and I haven't followed the minutia of the story and events; largely because I cut my former addiction to most all things tied to cable news post elections with a brief interlude on Jan 6th. for mental heath reasons.

The only exception is what i stumble across on DU. I read these comments and some news excerpts here... I've tended to have mixed thoughts about the entire episode. The occasional reality check suggesting the circumstances leading to the trial might not exactly how it's been portrayed by some in our community, and needs to be given more consideration and reflection.

Still, it's complicated. I'm emotionally predisposed or inclined to think the mf'ing punk should have been found guilty for "obvious" reasons, and that it was an outrageous travesty that the jury did not convict. Sort of similar to my feelings regarding the OJ trial.

Again, I didn't watch or listen to the trial.. just read comments here on the day to day.

Beginning to understand I haven't been fully informed of some important facts. And other "facts" turns out not to be accurate.


Thanks again for your pov.
