Dear Wei et al,

The bright son of a friend of mine is one of those jailed in
Philly.  I don't know what he personally did, but if he participated
in destroying property or throwing rocks at cops, I would consider
that he deserves his little week in jail.  Republicans have a
right to voice their bullshit just as much as Democrats do.
