hey guys, long time reader first time poster.

wtf is this thread about? haven't opened it yet and it's on like page billion. hbb can you summarize with big words, or kagatob post an anime picture most representative of the main idea? or maybe alawen can use full sentences and correct punctuation in a summary for me
Thanks for your post and your loyalty, long-time reader. This thread is ostensibly about Florida v. Zimmerman, a second-degree murder trial. Some analysis was offered early in the thread to clarify the burden of proof in this case and the strategy being employed by Zimmerman's defense. That was followed by critique of the witnesses for the prosecution, which have been collectively deemed somewhat shaky.

That intelligent discussion devolved, unfortunately, into accusations and denials of racism, followed by arguments over what words mean, and, ultimately, into the typical RnF personal attacks and generic insults. As always, the people who want to argue about the meanings of words tend to be careless with their own word selection. So far, no one has invoked Hitler.

The loudest voices seem to think that Zimmerman should be legally acquitted and that he has on solid moral and ethical grounds as well; some go so far as to hope that he gets rich from publishing and defamation lawsuits. Personally, I've been too busy to follow the case, so I'm abstaining from the conversation.

Hope this helps!
