1. so being a survivor of a horrible crime that is a result, in part, of our broken systems, does not

give one "special grace"? really, then what does? oh, by the way, nro, EVERY SINGLE CITIZEN has the right to comment on policy, and to call the gutless wonders sitting in our state houses and our nation's capitol exactly what they are--craven, soulless, gutless, bought COWARDS. HOW DARE YOU? HOW F****** DARE YOU say something this stupid, this ignorant, this hateful? what am I saying, this is the nro.

4. how would Kevin Williams feel
