Is anyone else but me noticing

[Mr.Bill]

the bling assumption of guilt on the part of the three UCLA basketball players that were released by China?

Even on MSNBC they are right now discussing whether their college should suspend them. No one discussing at all that maybe they did not commit any crime at all, even though they were arrested. Maybe they would have been released anyway, but now Trump is holding them up as a trophy and demanding thanks.

White republican judge running for Alabama Senate seat? Innocent until proven guilty! Black basketball player, guilty!

1. The first of the players to talk about it just apologized for doing it.

Sounds like an admission to me.

[Mr.Bill]

2. I had not heard that, thanks.

But that doesn't change the fact that many had an assumption of guilt as soon as they were arrested. And were all three of them shoplifting? Or were they all arrested because they stood out as a group?

3. Apparently they were easily caught shoplifting from at least three high end stores

Including sunglasses from a Louis Vuitton store.

[Mr.Bill]

4. And Jeff Sessions

was easily caught lying to Congress. When will he be arrested? I'm just pointing out the double standard in our society.

5. Reality: Don't commit a crime in China, no matter how small.

Much better to be a criminal in the US.
Especially if you are a member of the government.

6. The first 2 did; I didn't catch the last one.
