I have sisters, no brothers, and have spent the vast, vast majority of my life defending women against sexism and the ‘double standard’ (e.g. guys can do it, but girls/women aren't allowed to). That said, I am sorry, but the above comment rings true. It doesn't matter if its genesis is from virtuous intentions and the desire to be empathic, understanding, and selfless. It is destructive in its inability to apply reason and truth.
George Zimmerman could have easily given a different story. He could have said he had a gun but had absolutely no intention of ever touching it in the confrontation with Martin. That it was only after Martin found the gun on Zimmerman, while beating him, and told Zimmerman that he was going to kill him, that George decided he had to fight for control of the gun - or die. That in the struggle the gun came free of Martin's grip and went off. That he never intended to kill Martin, and that it was an accident that occurred in the context of this violent struggle.
In short, he could have created a narrative that would have made it much harder to convict him. But he chose to tell the truth as he recalled it. For this, he runs the risk of being punished by a society that accepts racism, as long as its from those from whom racism is politically correct.
This is not the way for all of us to live together in mutual respect. This is not the way to end racism. This is perpetuation of injustice.
Zimmerman’s neighbor was just on Fox TV. Said he was extremely confident GZ was going to be acquitted. Said he had inside information that it was 5-1 to acquit on the MS charge. He said the last person (holdout) is considering... and thus reason for the question. I think that is why GZ and his Attny were smiling during the short session.
Man is an animal. A social animal, but an animal nonetheless.
Strip away the skin-thin veneer of civilization, and Man reverts to being animal.
And to feral youths and the welfare class, human life has no value. The sooner that feel-good liberals learn that, the better for them.
Gee, we’ve already been over this in this thread...
Stop lumping women together as idiot lefties with no logic or reason.
What if we said well, Joe Biden and Obama and Gore and Holder and Carter and etc etc are all MEN so that means all men are idiots with no logic or reason.??
Anti Christ will be a MAN. False prophet, a MAN.
KARL MARX, who started this leftist crap was a MAN...
So knock it off.
