In reply to the discussion: Judge STARTS the hearing with calling shooter's family victims [View all]lostnfound
(16,173 posts)31. It was absurd. And he described as the "other side". That really bothered me.
I feel awful for his family, to the extent that they are not the incubator that created his crazy racism. But for the judge to start with that, it was simply bizarre!! And to refer to it as the victims on the other side. The judge obviously has entrenched bias himself.
