I'm pretty throughly exhausted of this Isaac Send a noteboard - 19/07/2013 10:46:22 PM

You have declined to give a proper criticism of the law, your most recent addition has been called thoroughly into doubt by HR's trio of posts, and I am tired of having a conversation about what the law should be with someone who transparently wants to talk about one and only one case I've made it very clear I refuse to discuss. You've made it obvious that you are looking for evidence to support your conclusions, not looking for evidence from which to draw conclusions, thus you are not suited to offer neutral thought on the matter.

This merely returns to my original point, way back, that those most interested in these cases are those least suited to render a neutral judgment on them, and the very reason why the media giving 24/7 coverage of these things imperils justice by tainting potential jurors with prejudice. The jurors disagreed with you, they may be wrong, but if anything discussing this with you has only added to my belief that we should place more faith in jurors then trial-obsessed members of the media or public. I hope that when some time has passed you'll come to see that, and I'm not trying to insult you, ones of the reasons why I stay away from keeping track of cases is that I've done the same sorts of things myself in the past and I know if I did follow them I'd be tainted on them too.

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

If inline spellcheck doesn't catch it, I probably won't either. - 15/07/2013 06:29:29 AM 759 Views

Your reply is partisan and obnoxious. - 15/07/2013 02:15:13 PM 831 Views
So it was okay that he was on top of a guy, pounding his head into the pavement? - 14/07/2013 06:45:17 PM 843 Views
If you can believe Zimmerman's side of the story is 100% truth, I have a bridge for sale... - 15/07/2013 05:35:08 PM 950 Views
do you have actual evidence to support zimmerman lied? *NM* - 16/07/2013 05:43:42 PM 475 Views
Sure - 16/07/2013 06:49:20 PM 730 Views

The kid decided to beat a man who had a gun and got shot for it - 15/07/2013 03:46:38 AM 831 Views
In a sane world, here is how their interaction plays out - 15/07/2013 05:44:26 PM 788 Views
Yes. And the fact that he didn't simply ask him what he was doing, tells me he was racial profiling - 15/07/2013 08:59:41 PM 783 Views
The only way that statement makes sense is if it is sarcasm - 16/07/2013 12:46:59 PM 738 Views

Where's your forgiveness?? Judge not lest ye be judged. - 14/07/2013 07:10:14 PM 778 Views
Did I say a thing about Zimmerman? No. - 14/07/2013 08:44:26 PM 916 Views
Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry. Which neighborhood watch were you referring to? - 15/07/2013 12:46:44 AM 877 Views

You'd think the rain of venom in here would make everyone's soapbox too slippery to stand on - 15/07/2013 01:05:41 PM 768 Views
+1 *NM* - 15/07/2013 06:40:15 PM 528 Views
would that be true for most of politics as well? *NM* - 16/07/2013 12:58:33 PM 498 Views
Depends on the case, but those aren't individual life and death criminal trials - 16/07/2013 01:52:00 PM 711 Views
when the president gets involved it is safe to polotics are at play. - 16/07/2013 06:23:54 PM 755 Views
That's not an unfair remark but it justifies criticizing him, not also getting involved in the case - 16/07/2013 06:59:53 PM 771 Views
When a case shows glaring holes in the law, it should by nature cause those laws to be reconsidered - 16/07/2013 07:18:57 PM 866 Views
I'm not sure what those 'glaring holes' are, but a specific person shouldn't be needed to show them - 16/07/2013 08:18:38 PM 770 Views
It is a bit difficult to not use the case when the specificity of the case is the problem.... - 16/07/2013 11:06:59 PM 834 Views
I sympathize with that but I think it remains a moral necessity to do so - 17/07/2013 12:14:39 AM 903 Views

I think you've over-personalized this case - 17/07/2013 08:00:50 PM 820 Views
I think this case is simply the closest example at hand of a perceived lack of justice - 17/07/2013 10:34:38 PM 875 Views

I just want to comment on two points from your reply - 19/07/2013 09:47:06 PM 730 Views
I'm pretty throughly exhausted of this - 19/07/2013 10:46:22 PM 819 Views
Nice. - 16/07/2013 09:01:50 PM 926 Views
Thanks - 16/07/2013 09:48:00 PM 759 Views
Well said. - 17/07/2013 02:25:36 PM 926 Views
it is possible to discuss a case based on what the evidence shows - 17/07/2013 06:03:05 PM 908 Views
Of course it is possible, one just fails to see how it can serve any good end - 17/07/2013 09:43:02 PM 772 Views
Exactly. *NM* - 18/07/2013 02:08:25 AM 563 Views

You have tried retroatcively making Martin a criminal here, despite him doing nothing wrong - 15/07/2013 10:52:32 PM 808 Views
So you support attacking creepy crackers who you think are following you? - 16/07/2013 12:56:52 PM 798 Views
The law suggests that if I fear for my safety, I am justified in attacking first in self-defense - 18/07/2013 11:00:58 PM 861 Views
there is zero evidience to support that assumption - 19/07/2013 04:25:15 AM 730 Views
Let's see - Martin was using drugs..... - 16/07/2013 04:56:13 PM 787 Views
Does that mean he should have been hunted down and shot? *NM* - 16/07/2013 05:22:43 PM 492 Views
He wasn't, so your question is irrelevant. - 16/07/2013 05:37:27 PM 714 Views
