Hi Bill
I think it is called seeing a tree. Concentrating so hard on that tree, you
miss everything else. It was interesting to hear the law professor,
Rothstein (?), the other night on tv when they were talking about having the
secret service testify or not. He pointed out in different words that this is
another instance of seeing the tree and not the forest. Did you happen to
catch that?
As far as standing up for 'poor, little women' by immediately jumping on the
woman's side, IMO, is just reverse victimization. The whole press conference
in this instance did that very thing if you really look at the whole set-up.
But, I have some questions about the Jonesboro tragedy? A number of people
here were asking about why just one boy has been singled out in this case.
At this time, it almost seems like it is one boy who did all the shooting.
It is being kept very quiet that the 11 year old fired the majority of the
shots--Mitchell fired 7 shots from their accounts. Also, (this may be
gossip) that the shots that killed the girls and teacher were not of the
caliber of gun that Mitchell was shooting. Do you or anyone else on the list
know anything about this?? I realize that it appears there is a social class
difference between the two families of the boys which is a factor, but
wondered if there was more? Wasn't it Drew's grandfather that had accessible
guns, not Mitchell's? What was Drew's reasons for getting involved, we have
heard speculation on why Mitchell did it. But, in actuality, I am glad
that they have toned down the media coverage on this in some respects I
guess.
