I read extensively on the Peltier AnalystInParadise Sep 2014 #9

Even if you take as a given that he committed the murder, you still have to put it in context Algernon Moncrieff Sep 2014 #11

Like George Zimmerman put it into context? AnalystInParadise Sep 2014 #15

It hunts better than your non-sequitur comparison of this case to the murder of Trayvon Martin Algernon Moncrieff Sep 2014 #17

This clears Peltier how? sub.theory Sep 2014 #13

Well, you wrote that you can't see "how this murderer has been made some sort of martyr" Algernon Moncrieff Sep 2014 #16

+1000 catbyte Sep 2014 #21

I disagree sub.theory Sep 2014 #28

Thank you. LoisB Sep 2014 #6

His two co-defendants were acquitted. Perhaps he should have shown msanthrope Sep 2014 #23

Has a Hillary avatar, yet Bill hosed Uncle Leonard and didn't pardon him after leading us to believe NightWatcher Sep 2014 #25

Why no presents or money? mokawanis Sep 2014 #30
