Re: [DML] JZD's Drug Trial

[boB <Delorean3@xxxxxxx>]

No it doesn't. It speaks volumes about a man who was trying to keep the mob from killing his family and saving his dream. Bill, with all due respect, you should not own a Delorean. This discussion of the past intentions and or guilt of jzd should be ended. We are on this list because we all love the Delorean automobile. Not because we are lawyers. Who gives a rats butt about here-say or subjective opinions about John. We weren't there. You didn't walk a mile in his shoes. He created a car from his dream. We all are living his dream.
I vote to leave it at that. Any axe you have to grind should be done privately.
When I look at my Delorean I don't think of drug deals gone bad. I think - what a brilliant man John was and what a cool car I own since 1993.
 Amen.
