WAS JUSTICE SERVED IN THIS CASE OF HATE? [+] serious ballot by Barbara_Baby_Cakes ACTIVE Fri Nov 09, 07 - Tue Mar 23, 10 HAGERSTOWN, Md. - The man who shot and paralyzed Alabama Gov. George Wallace in 1972 was released from prison Friday after serving 35 years of his sentence leaving prison before sunrise. Wallace was a fiery segregationist during the 1960s, was wounded on May 15, 1972, during a campaign stop in Laurel, Md. Wallace abandoned his bid for the Democratic nomination and spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair. Bremer, a former Milwaukee busboy and janitor, was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to 53 years and he had been held at the medium-security Maryland Correctional Institution near Hagerstown, about 70 miles from Baltimore, since 1979. Bremer, 57, has served about 35 years of a 53-year sentence, he earned his release through good behavior and by working jobs in prison. Wallace was best known for standing defiantly at the all white University of Alabama in a symbolic face off with the Justice Department as the National Guard stood by and two black students enrolled in 1963. By 1972, he had tempered his racist rhetoric and adopted a more subtle approach, denouncing federal courts over the "involuntary busing" of school children to meet desegregation orders and pledging a return to a "law and order" society. Yes/No, was justice served with Bremer's release? What are your thoughts? Yes, Justice was served after serving 37 years in prison. No, justice was slapped in the face with Bremer's release, he should serve the rest of his life. No justice was not served, Bremer should not have served ONE day in prison for shooting Wallace. Wallace deserves justice just like everyone else who is shot by another, racist or not. Ballot #119246 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
