Verdict — all guilty. What an evil verdict!
And supported not only by persons on the left but by many persons that I’ve considered my allies on the right. This is a case in which we have enough evidence to see it’s self defense right in front of us, and they don’t even pay attention to it.
I got an explanation from EE Gator that explains it somewhat. In today's political climate, you have to be insane to go after a black guy for anything, and these guys were therefore reckless for doing it.
I think that is the unspoken opinion driving a lot of people's opinions here. I think everyone is saying in their own mind, "Don't you know you can't dare to do anything about a black criminal"?
A lot of them think those men deserve a guilty verdict for being so stupid as to not understand the politics involved.
