To Zim's "liberal" supporters

[DonCoquixote]

I expected FR to support Zim, but I never expected so many gun nuts and veiled racists on supposed "liberal" sites.

All I will say is this: many of us who are darker than a cup of Coffee have worked very hard for liberal causes, because we really do want to be considered part of our own nation. Even though we know that there is a gulf between the words written and the deeds done, we have given our lives, fortunes and honor towards these ends. Even liberals in Florida like me, that won victory in 2008 and 2012, but now, we know that many people that claim to be our friends are not.

What twists the knife is that this is an all woman jury. In light of the war on women, how this jury can award someone who beats his girlfriend a prize is sickening.

2. Ignorance ruled this jury.

That they found six people who didn't know much if anything about the case to begin highlights the jurors' ignorance of their own surroundings, their own society. I doubt they know much about the current war on women, either.

3. Yes. I hate how the most uninformed end up on juries

They are chosen to be malleable.

4. How dare you disparage liberals. What a mean and nasty thing to say.

You have no evidence that liberals support Zimmy. DU has a lot of non-liberals. Maybe they are who you want to disparage, depending on your motives.

5. I can't believe the number of supportive comments on Reddit

Maybe it's the conservatives of Reddit or something, but it's odd on such a liberal site.

6. He wasn't on trial for beating his girlfriend.

And this site has been infiltrated by people who are in no way, shape, or form, liberals.
