Argh.... We Are So Doomed By Our Stupidity

Maybe not yours or mine, but our citizenry as a whole is apparently pretty stupid. Easily duped. Argh!!!!!

What am I talking about? From the start of the Martin/Zimmerman story, the race-baiters have been all over it, and last night, on TV, the last person to talk to Trayvon made it crystal clear it had nothing to do with race.

In fact she practically came right out and said "Trayvon was afraid he was a rapist and didn't want to lead him to his little brother (alone, the Dad and fiancee were out), so he didn't go home." Not too far to figure maybe Trayvon did, in fact go after the guy he thought was a gay rapist, a "cracka" as in "police" not "whitey," and started the fight after all.

Does that change your perception of the event? Does the possibility that Trayvon was protecting his and his brother's manhood from a gay rapist alter your stance?

A caller to the Dana Loesch show asked today, "if you are on the ground getting pounded, would you ask the age of your attacker?"

So, all the portions of the fake media narrative are blown up. No way to know this 6' 2" attacker was only 17, and no racial component at all. If there was a "hate crime" at all, it may have been Trayvon beating up a guy he thought was gay.

Is Civics A Lost Discipline?

I can't believe the level of stupid being exhibited all over the internet and the country over the Zimmerman/Martin case. Locally, I just saw a former teacher on the news totally misrepresent the situation and she probably believes what she said is true. The era of the Low Information Voter is a real thing.

I am sad that so many are participating in, even calling for Mob Rule, and they don't even understand.

I am sad that when presented with the same set of facts, that so many people, some apparently well educated, can't seem to understand how our justice system works and reach a conclusion that is not just wrong, it's stupid.

I am sad that a kid got killed, and that a guy shot him because he thought it was his only choice.

I am ANGRY that our media is this screwed up, that they used this story to create a furor, that they manipulated tapes and created a narrative that barely resembles reality, and angry that they got away with it.
