I have been discussing this case since the first time it made national headlines (a year or so ago) and I am flummoxed by all the bad information people keep repeating, the lack of knowledge of important particulars, and the extremely poor reasoning ability, and that's just on Free Republic!
I thought that conservatives would be rational and knowledgeable, but I find many to be just as knee jerk and reactionary as liberals are.
And as you said, they swallow the line of liberal media crap that is fed to them and they don't even realize they have been fed false premises.
Radio reports today still refer to Aubry as the black jogger in the white neighborhood.
When I first heard of this case, I thought those guys were completely in the wrong, but after looking at the information which the media didn't tell us, it is now clear to me those guys should be seen as heroes. They did exactly the right thing, but the political winds were completely against them and the media lie machine went to work poisoning the minds of the people.
And of course, a lot of people who make up juries nowadays are gullible and only want to go along with the crowd.
It is a crap shoot whether you get a good jury or not.
I know it is a crap shoot. I have come too close to shooting in self defense twice and was too close to being in a mass shooting once (while unarmed). All the idiot arm chair t-ball players have no idea what it is like when you don’t have any idea what the other people are up to until it is long after the fact. If someone places you in a bad situation it is their bad, not yours.
I’ve been reading your comments on this post. We agree. I made the point earlier that what I’m seeing from Freepers is the equivalent of people who still think Kyle shot black people. It appears Freepers who complain about the lying press are believing everything the lying press is saying about this case.
