Dear
Chronicle,
I read with great interest the cover article on Brandon Darby [“
The Informant,” News, Jan. 23]. One thing that became clear to me about Darby is that he is a phony and an egomaniac. His actions and reasoning are not internally consistent.
If Darby cared about his nonviolent style of activism, then he would have mentored those accused anti-Republican National Convention activists in that way instead of reporting on them. If Darby cared about bringing violent people to government justice, he wouldn't undermine his own credibility as a witness by writing open letters and participating in alt-weekly cover articles before the accused anti-RNC activist has even gone to trial.
Darby's evolution only makes sense if viewed from an egotist's perspective.
Only someone so self-involved could rationalize his behavior in the way that he has. So congratulations Brandon Darby on your 15 minutes of fame. I for one will be glad when your time is up.
