You fuckers.
You guys are ideologically bent on crucifying this guy that you don't know how extreme you sound. It's like the abortion "debate": were one side, the "pro-lifers" are so fucking extreme whacko out-there that they make the moderates, who are actually in the middle, the "other side", thereby creating a false dichotomy. The ideological opposite of "pro-life" is
not "pro-choice" it would
actually be "abortion-mandatory" (like the PRC's one-child policy), but the "pro-lifers" are so extreme that it's warped the political "space" so hard that it has created an idealogical event-horizon so strong that no logical thought or honest debate can escape.
I have no opinion about his personalty, character, or motivation, as I don't know the guy myself (and I expect all media reports to be distorted), but as I laid out in my wall-o'-text above, that none of you fuckers (except wasabi) apparently read,
Zimmerman committed no crime. There was a homicide; yes, as Treyvon is clearly dead of wounds inflicted by Zimmerman, but regardless of how you may personally think or feel, the legal justification for utilization of
lethal self-defense is there (and it's actually a lot more cut-and-dried than a lot of the "
use of force" cases I'm familiar with).
If Zimmerman did wrong in the eyes of the law, I
do want him to be fairly tried and convicted. However, if he acted in accordance with the law, I want him to walk free (before he is inevitably going to be financially destroyed by Treyvon's family). I'm good either way.
Even the guy's lawyer declined to discuss what treatment he received.
Um, yeah. That's actually, really, really,
good legal advice. His lawyer is actually doing his job here. How absolutely, inexcusably, terrible.
Even if he's never charged, much less tried on the criminal-law side, anything and everything he says, can and will, be used against him in the
inevitable wrongful-death suit, on the civil-law side.
