First They Came For The Fascists....
by Gerry Spence
Randy Weaver's wife was dead, shot through the head while she
clutched her
child to her breast. His son was shot, twice. First they shot
the child's
arm, probably destroyed the arm. The child cried out. Then, as
the child
was running they shot him in the back. Randy Weaver himself had
been shot
and wounded and Kevin Harris, a kid the Weavers had all but
adopted was
dying of a chest wound. The blood hadn't cooled on Ruby Hill
before the
national media announced that I had taken the defense of Randy
Weaver. Then
all hell broke loose. My sister wrote me decrying my defense of
this
"racist". There were letters to the editors in several papers
that
expressed their disappointment that I would lend my services to
a person
with Weaver's beliefs. And I received a letter from my close
friend Alan
Hirschfield, the former chairman of chief executive officer of
Columbia
Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox, Imploring me to withdraw.
He Wrote:
"After much thought I decided to write this letter to you. It
represents a
very profound concern on my part regarding your decision to
represent Randy
Weaver. While I applaud and fully understand your motives in
taking such a
case, I nonetheless find this individual defense troubling. It
is so
because of the respectability and credibility your involvement
imparts to a
cause which I find despicable.

to not
defend Weaver, as it would support the militant groups......)
