Showing Original Post only (View all)A couple of years ago, I was personally responsible for starting a lot of OPs on Zimmerman [View all]
And in many of those threads some posters felt inspired to come to his defense against my characterizing of him as a lying, murdering sociopath who escaped justice, after he stalked, assaulted and murdered an innocent child.
Of course, I accounted for Zimmerman's acquittal, not because he was "innocent", but because we all happen to live in a country in which it's almost impossible for a young, black person to receive any sort of justice, due to our dependence on systemic white supremacy, the inadequacies laden in our system of so-called justice and our blood-thirstily fetishistic national gun culture. That couldn't be even more obvious at this stage in the game.
But, I just have to say that in many of those threads, a great many of the posters who came to Zimmerman's defense had actually turned out to be racist trolls and were subsequently banned. I'm patting myself on the back for helping to out those motherfuckers, of course. BUT, we should have been clued in by people who seemed bound and determined to defend that murdering scumbag, while pissing on the corpse of a black child who was obviously defending himself from Zimmerman's unprovoked attack. Think of it as a litmus test.
However, I'd like to point out, for the record, that I believe that the general consensus on DU today, with members of good faith, is that Zimmerman is now and has always been a lying, murdering sociopath who escaped justice, after he stalked, assaulted and murdered an innocent child. We all agree with that assessment, right? Right.
Many of his defenders are sleeping with the virtual fishes. To them I say, "Fuck you and stay banned."
Zimmerman deserves to be rotting in prison now
I'm no less sure of this today than I was two years ago.
