So, Mitt Romney's schoolmate told the press that he witnessed Mitt and some other teens gang up on another kid because his hair was long and recently died blond and Mitt believed he was gay. The other teens held the kid down while Mitt forcibly cut his hair. The kid was in tears. It was Mitt's idea, he planned it and he led the group.
Of course, the press reported this and Mitt Romney, Presidential candidate, said that he had no memory of the alleged incident. Now, we all do things during adolescence of which we are not proud, But what he did was vicious and premeditated. He was 18 years old when he committed this crime.
As for Mitt's alleged failure to recall the incident, who doesn't recall something like that? The victim remembered it, the other participants remember it, the witnesses remember it. Most of them were very bothered, if not haunted, by it. Except Mitt, who wants to be president. If you had tackled someone, held him down and cut his hair against his will, wouldn't you remember it? I certainly would and so would you, I hope. . . If we had no recollection of something like that, we could rightly be accused of having no conscience.
EXACTLY!
