Im still waiting for the excuse of the GOP double standard.

On another occasion, back in college, I attended a BBQ for a girl's brother that had just been released from prison for 2nd degree murder. At the age of 15 he was involved in a drug store robbery in which the ringleader shot a bystander and was tried as an adult accessory, serving 10 years. He was a really nice guy and I spoke with him for a good hour before he told me what the party was for. I don't want to imagine what a little 15 year old kid would have endured at Walla Walla.

I guess under the guidelines of modern McCarthyites that makes me a murderer too, since I "pal-around" with convicted murderers.
