“The shooter and his father are in jail awaiting trial. That will determine guilt or innocence. Isn't that how it's supposed to happen? Or should the local prosecutor and friend of the family be the one to decide they're innocent all on his own?”

It looks like the decision to charge after nearly three months is being driven by Benjamin Crump (infamous in the Trayvon Martin incident), Shawn King, S. Lee Merritt, and the lame-stream media. That is not how it is supposed to work.

Speaking of the Trayvon Martin incident - are you still sore the jury didn't have the same knee-jerk reaction as you did?

But based on an investigation of the known facts by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. If the local authorities have admitted that they can't conduct an impartial investigation - and two recused themselves for that very reason - then isn't an investigation by an impartial third party something we should be applauding?

The shooter and his father will get an open trial where they will be able to submit evidence of their innocence and the prosecutor will present evidence of their guilt. A jury of their peers will decide. That's how it should have been all along. Fortunately that's how it will be going forward.

Apparently not as sore as you are that the state overruled the knee-jerk reaction of the local authorities and conducted an actual investigation that lead to charges being filed.

Oh, and while we’re on the subject if I’m against the shooting does that mean that you are for the shooting?
