You repeatedly mis-quote, quote out of context, and put words into others mouths.

I said what I said. Not what you said I said.

WAP! WAP! WAP! WAP! WAP!

(Count beating a dead horse...)

That's at least 3 times that you have mis-quoted me, after I have corrected you.

I never equated crimes of violence with those who are either uninformed or not as intelligent as myself or others. I said that I have no sympathy for people who repeatedly walk into a situation that is harmful to them. You'd think at some point they would just stop.

Did I say that they deserved it? No, I did not - you are putting words into my mouth that I did not say.

Did I say that I excuse crimes against them? No, I did not - again, you are putting words into my mouth that I did not say. In fact, I explicitly stated that those crimes deserve to be punished.

I said, simply, that I have no sympathy for such victims. As analogy, I offered that I have no sympathy for the drug buyer, buyer of stolen goods, procurer... who repeatedly goes to the bad part of town to engage in those activities, and then gets beat-up. Wah, wah, wha! Their crying is going to fall on deaf ears here.

(FWIW, to make a fine distinction, I do have sympathy for the drug ADDICT - I realize that it's a thing that - once addicted, the addict has little control over - and that there are too few effective and accessible treatment and rehabilitation options available in this country.)

I don't see the defendants trying to destroy your credibility or engaging in character assasination. In fact, I don't see them saying anything - as it should be. Maybe you should take a clue from them.

You can speculate all day that I am acting on behalf of the defendants. But you are wrong - I am not. I am simply reacting to the rediculousness of what you have written here - as I expect a judge and jury to react.

I do see you destroying your OWN credibility.
