Do you really think it is a good idea to abuse a person in prison, then have them move in next to you?

No one at DU was a participant in the alleged incident against Dylan Roof. It's an ALLEGED incident so none of us know if it even really happened. Let's not put the cart before the horse. The alleged assailant has a right to a fair trial in front of a jury of his peers. Let's not just assume that he's guilty and this happened until we have a conviction.

On that same note - There is an alleged attack against George Zimmerman. Until his alleged assailant is arrested, tried, and convicted of assault it hasn't really happened. No one should be reasonably upset until ALL of the facts of the case are presented. We know nothing at this time - we just have a police report.

I learned this from some noble and wise DU'ers during the Zimmerman trial. They set me "straight" and now they have to live with the consequences.
I love people saying Dylann Roof doesn't belong in general population gollygee Aug 2016 #1

Zimmerman did not use a stand your ground defense hack89 Aug 2016 #40
The fact that he did not use the defense doesn't mean that he didn't receive any benefit from Chakab Aug 2016 #47
