One of the DNC speakers was @DonnaHylton, who, at 21, committed an unspeakably gruesome crime: over 15 days she was part of a group that kidnapped, raped, starved and tortured, then killed, a man for ransom.
Her speech & life are noble testaments to the ability to rehabilitate.

Good morning to nobody except @SeanMcCarthyCom, who perfectly summarized attempts by the Democratic establishment to destroy the life of an impoverished 19-year-old Kansan progressive who unseated a 7-term corporatist incumbent, for terrible acts he committed in *middle school*.
Actually, let me amend that: good morning as well to contemporary liberal discourse.
21-year-old adults are too young and fragile to make consensual decisions about who they want to date and sleep with.
But 13-year-old middle school students should be held responsible into adulthood for their bad acts.
Love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal.

I conducted a 30-minute interview by video with Aaron Coleman, the 19-year-old progressive who unseated a 13-year corporatist Dem for the Kansas State House. We'll have it up shortly. I hope everyone judging & condemning him will listen to what he has to say in his own words.
Aaron Coleman, the 19-year-old progressive who won his Kansas primary, speaks about his troubled past and promising present.
Watch the 30-minute video with the controversial, unconventional candidate.

Coleman gives a very compelling interview, speaks very candidly about what happened, and illuminates some very complex but important issues about who we allow in our politics and how redemption works. I hope anyone who judged and condemned him will have the decency to listen.
