This guy is not anti-crime. He is not tough on crime. He is pro-murder, as long as the victim is someone he dislikes. I'm pretty sure this guy dislikes an awful lot of people who do not deserve to be ritually murdered. Lynching is murder. This guy is not anti-crime. He is not tough on crime.

Now that he's gotten attention, what will he say? I have no problem, in principle, with one candidate from a field of 12 saying something inflammatory in order to get noticed, so long as they can do something with it. Is that the case here? I kinda doubt it. But I won't presume the guy is a nut based on a single inflammatory statement. Not yet. But quite possibly soon. :-) If this guy puts crime among poor minorities at the top of the issues list, he's doing everyone a favor. The message this guy is toting happens to be one that cannot get serious traction these days unless the pol is a minority.
