Are like a wide load with a narrow gate

it drives me insane when people who were not in the courtroom, not familiar with the evidence, and with no knowledge of the legal issues in question or the burden of proof, opine on a verdict. i mean its fine for us, kibbutzing on a website, to do that, but to speak publicly as some sort of authority figure on it, is just wrong.
