DEAR KERMIT GOSNELL
When your mouthpiece plays this card, you can pretty much count on the needle:
Defense lawyer Jack McMahon delivered his closing argument on behalf of abortionist Kermit Gosnell on Monday, accusing prosecutors of “manipulating” the case to engage in an essentially “racist” prosecution of the man charged with four counts of first-degree murder, killing babies born alive during abortions by snipping their spinal cords with surgical scissors.
“Never have I seen the presumption of innocence so trampled on, stomped on,” said McMahon in court today, adding that the Philadelphia district attorney’s office “tried to manipulate everybody” and was pursuing an “elitist, racist prosecution.”
“Dr. Gosnell is not the only one doing abortions in Philadelphia,” McMahon said, “but he was an African American singled out for prosecution.”
“We know why he was targeted,” he said. “If you can’t see that reality, you’re living in some sort of la-la land.”
I’ve got only one piece of advice, K. Repent. Because however this trial plays out, your time on this Earth is alot shorter than you think it is.
One of the better Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes concerned a movie entitled Warrior of the Lost World, a film that aspired to be a post-apocolyptic, Mad Max-type thing and which starred Donald Pleasence, Persis Khambatta, the Indian actress from the first Star Trek movie (she had hair in this thing) and that guy, oh, what was his name? Tip of my tongue. You know, that guy from the Paper Chase TV series.
Anyhoo, the plot of this thing was basic, a bunch of freedom fighters doing battle against evil fascists and stuff.
But WOTLW had one of the strangest images I’ve ever seen on any movie screen. One of the heroes was this black guy who wore an SS jacket complete with Nazi arm band. No joke.
I’m not sure why I thought of that just now.
