(11,001 posts)gravitate to Mr. Bryant if they had not observed that. On the other hand, Kavanaugh sought to use the manipulation of a corrupt system to gain a seat on the Supreme Court. On his journey he has not apologized and but he has aligned himself with ideology that will marginalize the underserved. At least Mr. Bryant has used his lifetime of redemption to reach out to so many with compassion and understanding. That is why you see so much love sent his way. People talk of knowing him for mentorship, advice about life when it seems they are falling, loving their children and so much more. I have not seen Kavanaugh visit anything but a rethuglican forum. We have the right to let others enter our lives, vicariously or physically, and when they are no longer there, we find an empty void. This is from the heart of one who has never met Mr. Bryant in person. However, I have followed his life through the ups and downs and I have found the beauty of redemption. My heart aches at the loss of his life, and the many others who were travelers with him on that fateful day. It speaks to our incarceration system that a person sentenced to 30 years for stealing a bottle of soda will forever be looked upon as a thief even though the exit from the penal system, if allowed, should begin his journey to redemption. In other words, in response to this post, to each his own.
