Because I see no such outrage when others die under terrible circumstances, I am prejudiced? I am sorry you rush to judge even me. But such is the nature of this case it seems. |
Let's get the facts straight, I said "if you are comparing these two cases, you really
sound very prejudiced." These cases are nothing alike. The only thing in common is a young black man, well Trayvon was only 17, so he not even a man, so the only thing the have in common is they are black males and yes that would make you sound predudiced. Maybe you aren't, maybe you don't understand the reason for the outrage, I'm not clear that you understand why people are angry at the injustice of this case. It's not just the fact a young man was killed, it's the fact that they let Zimmerman go, do you get that? You can disagree, if you want, I'm not sure you understand why people are outraged over this case.

I find it interesting that you are ready to believe Zimmerman's lawyer and not Trayvon's girlfriend. All these points will be brought up at the trial, but this is about "probable cause", not if he's guilty or not. The question right now is "Is there enough information to arrest him for murder?" You want to answer "Yeah, but Zimmerman had a cut on his head, therefore, Trayvon attacked him, and it was self-defense.” All you have to ask yourself is do you think there is enough information to arrest the man. Many of us think there is enough evidence to arrest the man. I don’t think you should worry about who’s the most “hated man in America or the second”. Newscasters use terms like this to get ratings. Zimmerman will have his day in court. Really, if you are comparing these two cases, you really sound very prejudiced. Why should the second case get all that attention, the guy has been arrested, so why do you think people should get involved in the case, do you see some injustice being done? The Zimmerman case is getting national attention because the police let him go and Zimmerman admitted killing Trayvon. Has Tyrone admitted killing anyone? Have the police let him go? If Tyrone admits it and the police let him go, you can bet your yorkie that there will be riots in the streets and it will get national attention. |
The bottom line is this is about probable cause, all the evidence doesn't have to be in, just enough to arrest the man.
