[QUOTE="henschman, post: 2686596, member: 4235"] How come the main item of discussion in conversations like this is always over whether or not the author fits into the category of "racist?" Shouldn't the discussion be over whether what he is saying is true or not? Based on my own observations as a criminal defense attorney and as a member of society, some of it is, and some of it isn't. His generalizations on the racial makeup of defendants and on courtroom dress and demeanor are generally true. I don't agree with what he says about members of which races tend to be charged with which crimes though. In my experience, plenty of blacks are charged with sexual offenses... they make up a sizeable portion of rape defendants. They tend to commit all sorts of crimes, though beating women is especially common among them. I haven't really noticed any trend toward child molestation by hispanic defendants -- all the ones I defended were white. Nor have I noticed a trend for DUI -- that appears to be an equal opportunity crime around here. If there is any trend with hispanics, it is probably drug trafficking and possession of meth. With white folks, you do indeed see just about everything -- though they do the lion's share of embezzlement and copper theft. One thing he didn't mention is the conspicuous lack of asians on most criminal dockets. [/QUOTE]
