3. Yeah, the logic has really dwindled.

So far I have seen circular logic, which goes something like this:

"Zimmerman killed a black kid because he was racist."

"How do we know that he was racist?"

"Because his victim was black!"

Then, the non-sequitur:

"How do we know Zimmerman is guilty of murder? Well... Trayvon is dead, isn't he?!?!"

Another example:

"Trayvon was just walking home with a bag of Skittles and an iced tea." (Yeah, but that doesn't mean he didn't attack Zimmerman first.)

The most common is the truth by blatant assertion:

"Zimmerman is guilty and anyone that disagrees with me is wrong and a racist supporter of murderers!"

The strangest one of them all goes something like the following:

"I blame the jury, there was evidence all over the place! I also blame the prosecution... they did a terrible job of presenting the evidence! I also blame the police; they screwed up the evidence collection!"

So... the police screwed up the investigation and the prosecution bungled the case and the jury was still supposed to convict?

Ironically, OP is talking about a Zim defender being uncivil. joshcryer Jul 2013 #31

You're right. I guess some people are so used to arguing pnwmom Jul 2013 #34
