(24,853 posts)What I did do was call out those whose reaction to a situation they know nothing about was to kneejerk it.
You've never read a kind word from me in regards to Zimmerman. You've NEVER read words from me to the effect that I thought Zimmerman was justified in ANY WAY. I defy you to prove otherwise.
Could you be an objective juror in this case? Honestly? In my opinion, you could not. You've made up your mind that you know every pertinent detail about a situation where the ONLY details you know for sure are the limited, conflicting details you've read, heard, or watched on TV.
That my friend, is not defense of Zimmerman on my part. It's a statement that you and others like you (those who make up their minds without having all the facts in hand) are not good stewards of our justice system.
A white person who thinks to him/herself "I know that black so-and-so had evil in their heart" is no better or worse than somone who would say "I know that white or hispanic or asian or native american so-and-so had evil in their heart" if they don't have all the facts yet come to that conclusion. I put all you kneejerkers in the same bag.
