Ethel's letter came out this morning and she referred to the danger Sirhan could wreak on others. I don't feel he's a threat to society. I don't think he's dangerous. I understand the argument to keep him in--you remember my blog about what happened that day for me. I wouldn't have crusaded to have him released, and I wouldn't celebrate, but I don't mind. He will have a very hard time assimilating once he's out and I actually feel sorry for him for that. He deserved his punishment. He served. I'd be conflicted if mercy was refused, I'm good if granted. Isn't it interesting how the violence of the past settles with us over the years.
Yes. I remember your story. Poignant. Violence does settle somehow. But it can be awakened in so many forms over the decades. I remember going to the JFK memorial at the School Book Depository in Dallas and being so saddened and angry after walking through the exhibit, seeing the space where Oswald was, the marking on the street where the motorcade traveled. The same at the MLK memorial in Memphis. Heartbreaking.
