No. I have never known anyone who would be associated with them. You're actually saying they might have done some good? Please - tell me how. I'm all ears

Geno, I’ll agree you seem to have no knowledge and not really strong on reading comprehension. Those old men had nothing to do with that bombing period. The whole thing was a shucks show and everyone ate the whole KKK cake no questions asked, just like you are now.
Anytime you see the USA or the DA in a courtroom instead of an assistant prosecutor, just know it ain’t about justice, especially if Doug Jones is involved What part of reading did I misunderstand? I am honestly looking for real help here. Let's just take Doug Jones completely out of the equation and figure out together how the dudes in white hoods were good guys. I have a problem with that part.

Nobody said they were good guys. Nobody said the clan was good
Most reasonable people assume the clan is bad. That’s why he touted his prosecution of them. I think Jones prosecuted old men to elevate his political position, and his campaign capitalized on that idea. So no, we don’t need to take Jones out of it.
What defense attorney wants to be known as the defender of the kkk? Oh, and for free.
Then, I would like you to convince us that the men were guilty of the crimes they were accused of.

I have no knowledge whatsoever of their guilt or innocence other than the court proceedings in which they were found guilty. I'm not sticking up for Doug in any way here - just tryine to sort out why people would be against his work to bring down the KKK,

My father represented Blanton long before he was charged with the bombing. Doug wanted them to plead guilty to a federal explosive charge and if so, he would be able to tell everyone he was responsible for bringing them to justice. My dad recommended Blanton take the deal and serve very minor time. He told my dad no way he would plead to a case where the statute of limitations had run decades before and that there was no way a jury would convict him. When he was charged with the murder, my dad withdrew from representing him.
By the way, he was guilty of the bombing. He bragged about it for years and told my father that he did it and laughed when he said he was going to get away with it. Thank you. Props to your pop. I miss him.

I think Blanton and Cherry were just straight railroaded. Cash and Chambliss I don’t believe we’re innocent at all. Chambliss was convicted in the late 70’s early 80’s of participation and Cash never was tried having died before dougs circus days.

Your an idiot. Every person no matter who they are or what they are accused of is entitled to the best defense they can afford. It is a constitutional guarantee.
Character matters. Make of that what you will. 98% of legal counsel makes the decent ones look really bad. Defense counsel are generally the worst of the bunch.

He actually did some good going against the KKK as a US attorney. Thats completely not true, that whole trial was a sham and a publicity stunt. Exactly. Doug got his face on the news every night which was the primary goal of that trial.

I’ve heard several folks say Blanton just wanted folks to think he was involved, I knew a guy that told a story of him being a bragger that started believing his own lies at some point. I never knew him just several people who did
I will say that the guy who called him a bragger believing his own lies was over heard ( by people I very much believe and who were very shocked to discover how little they knew about their father) asking God for forgiveness for his indirect part in the act On his death bed and that he was a police officer in a nearby city back when it happened.

I can't fathom a place/time or a situation where bragging about being associated with KKK could be considered bragging. Am I just daft?
