Atheists, George Zimmerman and the burden of proof

I didn't suggest that the rules ought to change. I suggested that a prosecution team that focused on a manslaughter charge was more likely to produce a conviction, not because they should have settled for that in light of a murder 2 charge not sticking, but because I think manslaughter is what actually took place.

He was found not guilty, and that's that. It's really only a matter of time before he ends up back in trouble anyway.

Quote:really? I constantly examine my own position. What Ideology do you think I have? Given you are from the far left everyone to the right of you you probably think of as at least a conservative but objectively given that I hold positions such as Supporting gay marriage and gay adoption, supporting Gun control, being anti death penalty, maintaining total separation of church and state and removing all special privileges for religions, having mandatory sex education classes for children from 5-18, having a fully comprehensive free at the point of delivery socialized medicine, banning physical punishment of children and imposing a constantly evolving regime of protection of rights of animals exactly where does that put me 'ideologically'?

Pray tell!

I think all people adhere to a variety of ideologies. I agree with a lot of your ideological positions, certainly every one of those you just listed. But, then, you label others as 'race-baiters', and that is a term which carries a lot of connotations. It ignores the solid fact that young, black males are much more likely to take an undeserved fucking by our legal system than any other demographic, and that a lot of people in support of Zimmerman tried very hard to sway the public debate on the basis that, as a young, black male dressed in a hoodie, it was hard to believe that he could be the victim because 'his kind' are usually the victimizers.

Now, you can incorrectly ascertain from what I just said that I'm implying that you're a racist. Given your other positions, I can't believe that's true, but you open yourself up to misunderstanding when you use a term racists frequently use to attack those who expose them as racists.
