Beating Case Defendants

There is no argument that should persuade anybody that dragging an innocent man from his truck and nearly beating him to death is acceptable behavior. Whatever the outrage of the King verdict, it should not obscure the image of Denny cowering bewildered on the ground while an assailant hurls a brick at his head and then dances away. This should only make a person sick. It cuts to the soul of what we humans arrogantly call our humanity.
