It would obviously be presumptuous of me to make any evaluation of how you have personally treated others… and the fact that you’re still responding rather than writing me off is a good sign.

Your last response brings up several issues that require answers relating to different subjects and going in different directions, so I need to take them one at a time. So let me start with the absolute most important: Treating people fairly and justly and as human beings rather than demonizing them.

One of my heroes is John Adams, an admittedly imperfect, but clearly brilliant and courageous man. One of my favorite things that he ever did was to put his career, reputation, and possibly even life on the line by being the one guy with the courage to volunteer to be the defense counsel for the British soldiers involved in the “Boston Massacre.” In connection with the defense, one of his famous quotes is: “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.”

So I ask, are Darrin Wilson, Amber Guyger, and George Zimmerman not human beings worthy of a fair trial? What I see coming from the left in regard to their cases was closer to a lynch mob than any true call for justice, while the actual facts of the cases was consistently ignored or glossed over to support a narrative. This then in turn leads to the next key issue, the importance of due process and the rule of law, and how they’re being fatally undermined by a neo-Marxist ideology that has served as a corrosive acid to the foundations of all that is worthwhile in Western Civilization…
