Somebody needs to ask RFK Jr this:

[H2O Man]

81. I don't know you.

You don't know me. So what you think of me doesn't mean anything to me.

In May of 1998, a racist hate gang og 17 men assaulted my nephew. They did not like it that a non-white highschool scholar - state champion athlete was getting lots of media attention. They left him for dead in a dark field. He lived. The ER doctor said that the beating he took would have killed the majority of people.

Only three of the 17 men were charged. They were large fellows, 250, 265, and 270 lbs. The gang leader (265 lb) admitted he punched and kicked my nephew 14 times while he lay unconscious in the field. The DA droppd the assault charges, and the thug pleaded guilty to having an open beer during the assault. He got a $20 fine. That was it.

During these times, Robert provided a lot of support to my family. He also lobbied the NYS Attorney General to bring "hate crime" charges. The AG refused. (At one of the court hearings, when the ADA noted the thug called my nephew a "dumb ni__ger," the judge said he didn't consider that as evidence that race played a ro0le.)

So, do you understand why I don't care at all if you think less of me. My opinion of you, however, remains the same. You are a faceless name on an internet forum. You dislike Robert. As I noted in my previous response, that doesn't matter to me. I have relatives, good friends, and associates that share your thought on Robert. As I've noted numerous times on DU, I disagree with the path he has been on. But that isn't reason for me to dislike him.
