...it went into enough details to mention that he was white and conservative, but neglected to mention his connection with the fire department? This fact about Dan White was ALWAYS mentioned in articles at the time, and was very salient, given that department's homophobic history.
The fact is, the meme was not "unjust", it was just coopted by the right wing and twisted to their own purposes. This is what they excel at; it does not make the phrase wrong.
Sorry -- this article for some reason just struck me as having a hidden agenda. I found it interesting that it provided a platform for a juror to defend their actions lo, these many years later. But when you get right down to it, this verdict was simply an outrageous injustice, which by definition cannot be "justified".
Guess we'll just have to agree to see it differently.
