I just read his “black and white” article about Zimmerman. He tries to play “the middle” and argue that both sides are partly right and both are partly wrong. It’s like arguing that a divorce between a man and woman where the man was a compulsive gambler, alcoholic and womanizer, and the wife took the kids to church every week and had a glass of Merlot every day with dinner, was a 50-50 proposition. They both had blood on their hands.
BS.
The Zimmerman case has become a litmus test for racial bias for me. If a person who claims to know the details still thinks that a white cop wannabee shot down a defenseless black kid and the system didn’t protect the kid, I no longer respect that person’s ability to use reason regarding ANYTHING.
Sometimes it really is black and white. Sometimes one side really is wrong. Nobody’s perfect, but sometimes people are in the wrong. I see it all the time on those dash cam crash videos. It really can be that black and white with this sort of stuff.
BTW, I have no opinion on the NC case yet because it’s not gone to court and it is still in the solidifying stage. In the beginning I thought Zimmerman was the bad guy.
Teaching not to resist arrest would go a long way to prevent every one of these incidents.
It was pathetic how Marcia Clark destroyed her own case!
Jesus Christ: You can't impeach Him and He ain't gonna resign.
Everybody reading this needs to click on those photo links in the article, especially the YouTube link. The most striking bit of video was the reaction of the police horses who knew OJ had gotten away with it.
As to the writer and the piece, he really needs to learn his idioms since he expects to be paid for his efforts. It’s “bated breath” and doesn’t have a darn thing to do with fishing. Further, it’s impossible to discern what position he’s trying to take on the Charlotte police shooting. If he’s simply trying to split the difference and tell both stories equally, it would be good to let the reader in on that.
What are they going to do when Trump is elected?
If hillary is elected, what are they going to do as their condition continues to deteriorate as it has under obama, but “The Won” is not there for them to whisper sweet lies?”
I'd feel a wee bit Irish!
Potato Lives Matter!!!
Reporters die by homonym. Trouble is, readers just don’t notice. Then again, do modern journalists even know that there is a difference between ‘bated’ and ‘baited’? If it were explained to them would they understand the explanation?
I don’t put much credence in writers who refuse to proofread their work. Maybe they can’t?
