In reply to the discussion: Funny how the George Zimmerman defenders--here, there and everywhere have stopped defending him. [View all]onpatrol98
(1,989 posts)There may be many here who sincerely disagree with me. Perhaps they know you better. There are some who might agree with me, but would like to remain on DU. I don't have that burden. I believe you are a Zimmerman defender. I believe the people who insist on entering each thread about Zimmerman to defend the verdict of Zimmerman is a defender of Zimmerman. I don't know how thorough your defense of him goes. For me...quite possibly only me, a person who is not a defender of Zimmerman wouldn't defend a decision that seems so indefensible. But, you say you defend the process. I don't defend a process that lets the murderer of that child go free. I think that process is seriously flawed. It doesn't deserve a pedestal. It deserves an overhaul. In fact, I think it was a grand display of institutional racism. Zimmerman had his day in court...and yet, there was no justice for Trayvon. And, that's the problem. They can shoot us dead in the street, strangle us on camera and good folk...with good intentions...will stand in front of us...and cheer "The Process". What a fine process for young black men in America? Shot dead, and denied justice by conservatives, our losses glossed over by well meaning (after my brief time on DU, I'm not even sure of that anymore) liberals.
DU is full of allies...perhaps on many issues, you are one. But, on this...I believe you are a Zimmerman defender. It is my opinion.
Perhaps it is a call out. I don't really think so. Since, I'm responding to a direct request. The one person that I would like to point out...the just one I'd choose to offer you, would be you.
Feel free to alert. Or, do the 3-Dimensional chess...jury, process apology.
