“Willie Horton went on to torture, rape and murder innocent people because YOU, Michael Dukakis, chose to let that vile thug out of his life sentence.”
I find it interesting that, until this thread, I did not know that Willie Horton was black. I guess I should have paid more attention at the time. Or maybe not.
Torture, rape and murder is wrong no matter who does it.
Well it never should have been a racial issue but the Demagogues found it convenient to make it so. The issue was an abomination of a POLICY that allowed such brutal thugs out for weekends of “recreation” which of course could turn to horror at any time. I was living among the Massholes at the time — I well remember how Dukakis people were trying to claim it was the latest and greatest in “inmate management” i.e., supposedly such hard-core inmates would be easier to “manage” if they had the hope of getting out on weekend furloughs. Yeah, sure, and innocent citizens would pay the horrible price for whatever happened ala Willie Horton, just so that liberal “corrections” officials could say they were keeping up on the latest academic trend.
