...they should be punished to the full extent of the law. Just like any lawbreakers should be---black or white.

I agree. 100%

I didn't touch on that issue because--simply put--it wasn't relevant to the points I was trying to make that time which were: yes, there was an attack but no, the store owner is not somehow responsible and no, there is nothing insideous about the fact that the assailants are out of jail already.

I am glad, however, that you reminded us of that very important fact. Thanks.

I think all of us feel the same way---after a trial, if someone is guilty, they should be punished.

None of this, "Well, once there was slavery, so all of us should be given a lifetime 'get out of jail free' card."
