This will fall under the category "Pet Peeve".
I received an email from a friend this afternoon(Tuesday 04.07.09) about an interview with a friend(Vire) of the man who shot three officers this past weekend.
I just don't understand why people will defend these defects.
What gets me is this person(Poplawski) is a known racist who has posted his blogs on a hate monger site.Poplawski,while being arrested,asked one of the cops to get out of his house.The cop is black...Poplawski said,"get this [N] out of my house!" refering to the black officer.
Vire,an African American neighbor,who is a childhood friend unbelievably said,"He's isn't such a bad guy,and not a racist."
Vire said this on a broadcast interview after this shooting incident and after finding out what type of individual this P-O (Vire says this is his nickname he called Poplawski)person is really all about!
Why do folks continually defend these people?

I am not talking about love ones doing the crime.This would be bias ism.
