FBI Informant Brandon Darby made a fucking coward of himself today.
Need I say anything aside from the subject line?
What I witnessed in court today was one of the worst example of humanity I've ever seen in my life. He could hardly keep a straight face during his testimony. Especially when that coward had the guts to claim that he once "worried about political prisoners".
