Guilt by Association

I’m just a plainspoken Colorado criminal defense lawyer, but the way I see it…

How can you cut the head from a child and then dance by its corpse?

In America, we already know how you can do that. In this land that most of us still wish to be the light of the world, in the state where Abraham Lincoln practiced law, we know.

Thirty-seven miles southwest of Chicago, a man took revenge on Hamas murders by sticking a knife into another child twenty-six times. Did it because the boy was a Muslim, though it’s hard to tell how committed to his religion was someone barely a week past his sixth birthday. The boy’s mother, a Palestinian emigrant, was old enough to know better, so the man stabbed her, too; he failed to kill her.

To the end of her days, she’ll know the quality of fanatic Christian mercy is no different from the quality of fanatic Muslim mercy.
