Re: Police brutality in MIAMI - do we care?




Any leftist with a lick of sense would have been avoiding the streets of
little Havana just about then.

As to what I think about the gusano thugs getting maced, beaten, etc., and
do I care:

a) These reports are greatly exaggerated and
b) Whatever it was that Malcolm X said about being glad when chickens come
home to roost.
