The March in Support of Fretts Seems Biased

0

Dear Source,
My wife and I lived on St. John for ten years, and I try to keep an eye on what's happening on St. John. I have followed this story from a distance and don't know the Fretts but have known Bob Sells for quite a long time.
There is a point I'd like to make about this whole story. No one has been named as a possible suspect in these crimes. Hateful accusations have been made continuously since this started. It is my understanding that Ms. Frett's business was closed at the time of the fire, but Mr. Sells has lost his business, his vehicle and his reputation through vicious attacks, yet no one has rallied around him at all.
I remember days when issues were not clouded by hatred and bigotry, and issues were resolved between the parties involved.
I am not taking sides in this issue in any way, but can you imagine the uproar that would be caused if a group of white people were to march in Mr. Sell's support? That is a double standard if ever there was one.
Be cool people; this IS supposed to be 'Love City', remember?
