But I'd love to have you spell things out for me so that I know where you're coming from. There are all sorts of implications to be derived from your brief post. But I'd hate to interpret your intentions the wrong way. Please connect the Brawley case to this one and Sharpton's call for peaceful civil disobedience. I want to make sure I can follow your logic here.
