WILLIE HORTON
WILLIE HORTON WENT TO A GAS STATION, TOOK A
SIXTEEN YEAR OLD BOY, STABBED HIM NINETEEN TIMES,
SEXUALLY MUTILATED HIM, AND STUCK HIM IN A
GARBAGE CAN. THEN HE WENT TO PRISON, GOT OUT ON
A WEEKEND PASS AND RAPED A WOMAN AND SLASHED HER
FIANCEE AND RUINED THEIR LIVES. Now WE NEVER READ
ABOUT THAT IN THE STORIES ABOUT WILLIE HORTON.
EVERY TIME YOU MENTION WILLIE HORTON, You THINK
ABOUT WHAT HE DID. THE VICTIM IS NOT WILLIE
HORTON. THE VICTIM WAS IN THE GARBAGE CAN. THIS
SIMPLY IS NOT A BLACK OR WHITE ISSUE. THIS
IS A CRIME ISSUE AND IF DEMOCRATS WANT TO
CONTINUE TO DEFEND WILLIE HORTON, THAT'S FINE
WITH ME.
