    You are quite possibly correct. I have no idea what would make people hide a man like that but they shud suffer the same punishment as the the one who pulled the trigger.

    Its a shame reading comments like this.
    Makes me wounder if people have this distorted one sided image, how on earth can we achieve peace or understanding in situations like Palestine? or bridge the cultural gaps that exist between countries and religions?
    Shame really, i guess I am a fool then ..... so are the friends i have made through out the world to trust each other.

    I am rather disappointed from your post hoyt, i had thought you wiser than this.

    He's a pretty smart guy, Vulkyn. But his view of the world has some big blind spots in it.

    Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit.
    Elbert Hubbard

    He dares to be a fool, and that is the first step in the direction of wisdom.
    James Huneker

    In seeking wisdom thou art wise; in imagining that thou hast attained it - thou art a fool.

    ... first step in the direction of wisdom.

    And second big step would be less Fox "news" watching.

    People who come to our country legally are welcome. Just obey the laws and don't come here for nefarious reasons.

    If a white cop killer's friends hid him, would you assume they did it because he was white?

    Vulkyn, I am just reflecting historical events. No offense to you was meant, but I think I gave an accurate representation of what happened. You had no more to do with that than I had to do with the Torquemada.
