Give Them An Inch,They'll Want A Mile

Sometimes an idea is so far out in left field. You figure there is no way possible it could get off the ground. If you let it fester long enough and don't shut it down. Sooner or later it might grab hold. Hence the latest episode of the Deaunta Farrow case. Not that anything has really changed, but you've heard it so much it somehow sounds different. You slip and say something new, or they say something they didn't say before. It usually doesn't change anything overall, but it does buy some extra time. Every day this thing drags out. Is a new opportunity for Ms.Farrow and her son's memory to be exploited. Anything is something, for someone who had nothing at all.

The first time I saw H.G. Foster conduct an interview, I felt then he didn't have what it takes. Not that I questioned his abilities as a special prosecutor. But not to be the spokesman for this particular case. I know it was a sad and unfortunate situation, but things just are the way they are. Even though a child was killed. The law must follow it's course. H. G. Foster seemed a little to apologetic for something he had nothing to do with. In his attempt to be fair and unbiased. He has added fuel to the fire. Telling the court of appeals that his case wasn't closed yet. Only gave these protesters unrealistic expectations. Now they think it's on again.

H.G. Foster is not a closer. He can't make a definitive stand for fear as being perceived as a racist. He should have realized by now. He is in a no win situation. Anything short of a guilty verdict for Sammis, won't satisfy this crowd. They need someone like Bill Gibbons to handle this. As he stands there looking across the podium at Javier Bailey. He is probably saying to himself,"give them an inch , they'll want a mile."
