It strikes me that it is entirely possible to have great sympathy for the victim and his family, while still calling BS specifically on the array of lies flung around to deny his shooter the presumption of innocence, or the right to a fair trial. What is truly disturbing (and IMO guarantees the next tragedy), is the number of people who want to attack that position, because it seems to threaten some agenda. Why should sympathy mandate swearing that lies aren't lies? quote:
ORIGINAL: cloudboy quote:
Dont tell me what is or isnt relevant. He lied from day one as to why he had that gun, and you fellas ate all them lies up with a spoon... which I find rather funny. I don't want to slog backwards, but who lied about what? My next questions are as follows: (1) Has Bama argued that cleaning your teeth with a gun is better than using a toothbrush? (2) Are certain posters still arguing that this whole trial is distressing to white people, and that blacks playing the "race card" offends their sensibilities. (3) Does it strike you that for some: sympathizing with Martin and his family might compromise their right to bear arms, hence they can't elicit any sympathy for the deceased or his family. --------- Here is what I have learned about myself. I am a give my ground kind of person. My first move is to de-escalate conflict by apologizing, backing off, or doing whatever is necessary not to incite violence. This code has worked very well for me.
