I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

Biggest part of crooked Adams deal which is only barely being noted is that the charges aren't really dropped (not in the ordinary sense of the word). They're put on hold with the letter explicitly saying they'll be considered again after November. So Adams has ten months to perform for his freedom.
