    Most Americans were moved by Sheriff Dupnik's statemen, akin to Edward Morrow's "The fault , dear Brutus, lies not in our star..but ourselves."

    I've never heard Mr Justice so I cannot speak to the content of his show, but the Sheriff spoke for many if not most of us in this country who waited, fervently hoping that this would never happen but expecting it to arise out of the lies, accusations, hatreds, fears and bigotries that have been poured out, fanned, incited or inflamed over the last few years.

    As an attorney who prosecuted international crimes, I can speak with some justification that actions like these do not arise out of a vacuum, and even at Nuremberg there was testimony on the effects of infflammatory propaganda

    In the moments that he spoke, Sheriff Dupnik was the conscience of America
