Zimmerman: Afraid of Being in Jail

I imagine that even in those circumstances in which we rationalize our absolute lack of empathy, our lack of absolute knowledge quite often bites us in the behind.

One may raise their fist in righteous indignation at a sexual assault, and then feign ignorance at cases such as Ricky Wyatt-- freed after 31 years by the Dallas, TX DA office.

But we may rest comfortably in the knowledge that our "I don't give a shit" attitude was (almost) fully justified... for 31 years, anyway.



I suppose a lot of people believe that they know what we should or should not be concerned with-- I've noticed the loud ones, unapologetic and incurious about inconvenient details, most often subscribe to Bumper Sticker Philosophies-- in that they sound great, but are more often than not, found most wanting when actually examined.
