(62,325 posts)I agree with the sentiment that all too often in high profile cases, a mob mentality does develop. That does not mean I do not believe that Zimmerman should be arrested and charged.
It doesn't matter if the person is guilty we still need to act like civilized people or we are likely to live in a society where revenge rather than justice becomes the 'law'.
I do not believe that is going to happen here, however it is really okay for someone to state an opinion about it as the OP did.
Too bad the thread did not prove him wrong.
People respond better to those who are rational. The OP may not have known all the circumstances surrounding this case, but instead of attacking him, informing him of why people are upset would have been a more rational and successful approach. .
Lashing out and calling people trolls because you don't like their opinions, is not a rational way to go about informing anyone. All it does is lose you credibility.
