bettyboop,
thanks for your comment. It's easy to believe this intellectually, but harder to "feel it" in my heart.

Idiots are everywhere.
Only one person was guilty of that crime, not your whole family. This seems simple enough to understand, but we know the world is full of idiots - not just in small towns, either. Events such as these only serve to weed out people who are not worth a shit to us anyway and leave us with only real friends around us.

blackcat,
so very true! Of course, they wouldn't want to be my friend because I might kill them, after all...

guilt by association
Sounds like a case of ignorance brought on by fear brought on by ignorance! But... if it's any consolation, people will judge you by your relatives whether they're murderers or not. Those aren't people you'd really want to befriend anyways.

tiger,
well, consider that there isn't a whole lot else to do in this mudpuddle of a town, and it makes more sense that people never forget things like this.

ladymonk,
I hope he knows it (I've never asked him)...he has been taught to "consider the source" which can lessen the pain, but I'm sure it still hurts on some level.
