This is the story of Bruce and suspicion
that he was because of his background.
This is the story of the people who knew they did.
There were many of these people
and they were different from each other in many ways.
People like him
and I'm not.
Going to make terrible great.
I can do for as long Bruce will be with us.
But I can understand why I want to be with him to be doing some big favor to.
Stay away from him. It's not just. The people who knew.
Bruce agreed
that it would be better to shut the door to any efforts he might make to be one of
them. That singly or as a group they should avoid him.
But it wasn't always possible to avoid group.
Think and reason Ruth Jones are fighting the birth of a killer want to kill him
and his friend was over there.
He thought I was the first down for the standing on the corner and walked by
and at first shocked that Michael.
But then he just went away left
and lying there not then he went back to save you a humanitarian type
of mind share
and yeah like with truth in fact God
it's a given that you take the position
that I can't see why Bruce good thing like
that without some good reason I think the apparent case
against Bruce Jones was a strong one. He was different from his classmates.
So no matter what happened. Bruce was suspected of the worst.
Well I could a strong and what you say long.
Oh my green sweater I left it in here first hour right over the back of this chair.
I'm not here now. Yes I might as well. Check lost and found a cold letter.
Brand new and you say yeah I saw it but I didn't know he
or I thought over the arm of Bruce Jones as he walked out the door.
Well that dirty core of food get away when I come to think about it.
I bet that's what outta my good pan I thought I lost all
that like spelling now for sure.
Circumstances point to do. Bruce joke. Now it always seemed to work out.
Bruce was in trouble. Even on the night of the class party.
Bruce was to become the topic of conversation.
The best party we've ever seen tonight
to get out of what might
that be you know what the undesirable missing the
good going to do. I'm sure he never will be right.
For Bruce. To bristle
when you're trying to crash people were trapped inside the car
that far back that. I didn't know it was Tom and Carol.
I don't know if he recognized.
Presley by British common cows.
But. Thank you.
But Bruce was burned severely. From Bruce.
Well the switch a week ago you were up earlier about have a little the same school
with you no matter what anybody
or even very well I'm not going to be a hypocrite changes anything.
Now listen you're not the brightest badly hurt.
To go into the fire. Probably didn't even know what it will.
Even if you just go through next drama May
seventh right. I'm a fine one it was just a minute ago.
Is fun to see we can do it without a critical. Maybe.
Well I'm going back to the party.
I wonder if Bruce would want my blood after what I did to him what you did to him
but he hit you didn't they. Yes but you don't know the whole story.
I had it coming.
I used to nail him all the time I sing
that song so he'd be sure to hear it you know what I mean.
Well that day I walked by Bruce whistling it again.
I guess it got under his skin and he just couldn't take it anymore.
Dollies
and he didn't just jump you for no reason I don't think he knew what he was doing
but I did and I told the principal the whole thing
that the reason Bruce is only on probation for that matter.
I am too funny I never stop to think there could be a great side.
I was never really thought of present. However there.
I was right here in misstating my flat the other day and I would have been
when I got the day I was reporting where there was returned and a lost
and found anybody out in the day my
that I wouldn't worry so much because it was Bros I had
that was Bruce you did what we've all done.
He's put a brand on him for something he couldn't help.
Well a good deal better to.
This trip to the hospital could be the first step for the students
that he's tired toward tearing down the false barriers which their own bias
and prejudice have built but will it work.
Each of these people must find the answer only through the examination of his own
feelings and attitudes
or this is the problem of the individual more than of the group. If Bruce.
Doesn't make it how I ever be able to face myself after all the things I've done to
him things I'll never be able to apologize for Bill was right in a way
that doesn't really change any of the reasons why we didn't accept Bruce into our
group.
I just hope I can somehow work out a new set of values to judge him by in the future.
This is a fairly.
My folks didn't want me to have anything to do with I wonder for Bruce good will
make any difference to them now will they be able to understand why I have to help
him if I can I can't help thinking this is the right thing to do.
But it is a fast switch a vial of sympathy had me open to something.
I won't be able to live up to. And I just reacting to an emergency.
When it be like when emergency is over. Bruce won't be any different.
But I guess I'll have to be. The same here. It wasn't Bruce at all.
I was the one neatly fitting people into categories because of where they go to
church. What their father's day of what the color of their skin
and you hear about other people President but you never feel guilty. N.P.R.
Right if you hear that when he's president. What was it.
After all
that made these people do the things they did was it a lack of understanding was
their attitude picked up from their prejudice
or was it simply a matter of going along with the attitude of the group.
What you practice and why does it exist. What do you think.
