Yes and had to wear a bulletproof vest but you'll never know what case.

I actually don't want to know the case, but I think it's cool, in a way, to wear a bulletproof vest.. I always wanted one of those..

The "Kevlar" ones of today are better in that they're lighter in weight. Still bloody uncomfortable though. Best to behave in such a way as to not attract bullets.

But for lawyers they are of course standard apparel

Does that sound a bit like "see, the libs do it too" apologetism?

They undoubtedly do and did and that seems to me to support my point of the uselessness of party bashing in instances like this. This constant "it was all Bush's fault" thing isn't helpful at all and does nothing towards resolving.

Not to get too semantic about it but FDR actually didn't order the internments, he authorized them and left it up to local military commanders to "exclude" whatever people they designated from "zones of their (the military's) choosing".

My original statement of not a single Nisei having been interned on Hawaii also requires correction. Between 1200 and 1800 actually were interned there BUT of a total number of +150,000 which constituted about a third of the Hawaiian population. The rest were left free to live as before whereas California, Oregon and Washington and were virtually "cleaned" of Issei and Nisei.

Also noteworthy that it was under a Republican president that apologies were finally extended and reparations paid to the surviving internees. More than 40 years later but better late than never.

Well anyone who would want to accuse the US (or NYC) of bias in case of a conviction would be nuts anyway so should be rightfully disregarded.

As far as the jihadists out there are concerned they'll react with hate no matter where the trial is held.

I was joking about the vest. . In my prior legal life when I did criminal work I had two or three local high profile cases but nothing that would have a made national news nor did I represent someone who was alleged to have murder numerous people.

On the other had I do have high profile civil cases but they are only about money.

Not cool at all .
I have not worn one , but wished I had one in past . Its terrible to be under that kind of threat . When it happens , it comes to your home , your family , and too many things to deal with --more than a simple vest can cure .
Walk to car worrying -- don't stand in front of windows in your own home -- look at every person , everything not right -- worry all day and night about family members . Dream about it . Thats when you wear a vest if you have one , and it is not cool at all.
I have not worn vest , but have been under threat and shot at , its a nightmare .
The worst is --you have no idea from where it will come , and even worse --is worry about loved ones--family . You can't dress family in vests . Dirty god forsaken business and not fun at all.
Its not like movies , its takes years off your life when you have people that want to harm or kill you. I am not coward , but I know the stress can ruin someones life. I was afraid , -even if threat never actually happens . Some of my life was miserable --extremely miserable .
My son wears one --he is a cop --but it safety policy , not because someone wants him personally-- a different deal . >f

Do you have a kevlar briefcase whiteboy ??? Protect those victims checks you pack in there ?.
You lawyers drive me nuts -- all I ever say is -OK -OK -OK _OK not knowing what the hell is going on . Slicks with suits.
If I had my choice , you guys would be in camps -- except that nothing would ever work without you SOB's.
You must have figured out that out at young age -- we can't get rid of you , and the money is good . Damn you whiteboy ! >f
