OK, that was a bit of hyperbole. SOME pro-C/R people are quite willing to assert without evidence the guilt of people who stand in the way of freeing their golden boys.

It isn’t EVERY person who supports them, and there are probably one or two people who haven’t been attacked.

But so far, the list is pretty extensive. Sutton, the investigator, all the other agents on the scene that day, the investigator’s family, the actual prosecuters on the case, the judge, Gonzalez, the Department of Homeland Security, the President. Did I miss anybody on the hit-list of guilty people?

I apologize that my statement could be read as an attack on every pro-R/C person, and of you personally. I meant only to convey the general tendency of people defending R/C to believe anything they hear that helps their side, while showing a level of critical thinking far beyond what is useful when it comes to C/R themselves.

Guilty? I don't know about guilty, but they are certainly subject to valid criticism, IMO. Sutton has appeared on television misrepresenting the case. I can count multiple mistruths that he uttered, under oath, in front of the Senate. The agents? Nah... not all of them... but those that changed their story multiple times are certainly subject to question. The prosecutors? Most definitely! I expect prosecutors to deal with facts, not twist evidence to fabricate a story inconsistent with the real facts of the case. Kanof is the one that painted OAD as a poor little drug mule. Kanof precluded the jury from getting a true picture of the events that day and allowed testimony that she knew was false. She deserves more than criticism--I'd settle for her being disbarred. The judge? Yep--some of her rulings made absolutely no sense. DHS? Oh, yes! Definitely Skinner and his bunch for fabricating the "Out to Shoot Mexicans" story. The President? I can see how some would be so frustrated over this case, and when combined with the complete lack of control of the border, put some blame on the administration and its leader. It's that "buck stops here" thing. The "investigator's family"? Not sure what you mean by that one.
