Scary, nasty and armed: the Roy Moore I knew: Stephen Bates
Judge Roy Moore was one of the scariest – and most unpleasant – men I have ever met. That he has not yet, at the time of writing, conceded defeat in Alabama is characteristic: clearly only God, not the voters – perish the thought – will defeat him.
My encounter with him was on a hot day in southern Alabama in May 2006, when he was running for nomination to be the Republican candidate for state governor. That was another race he would lose.
