Jumping To Conclusions: The Media Blows It Again

Hard for a dead person to supply proof, isn't it?

 

Still, Zimmerman must be considered innocent until proven guilty by the courts, regardless of the prejudgment of the court of public opinion.

 

I am English, therefore your assertion (being American) seems some what nonsense, ironic even, not that I would expect you to understand...

 

He said so. They didn't have enough evidence to charge him and therefore, they are prohibited from doing so.

 

These septics hae no idea what real pommy is.

 

Yes, a person should never be charged with a crime unless you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the person is guilty of said crime. It is a waste of taxpayer money, clogs the system and is unfair to the person you are charging without enough evidence to prove their guilt.

In this case they may eventually charge Zimmerman with a crime just because of political pressure, which is a horrible injustice. If there is a trial and Zimmerman is found not guilty there will be terrible rioting, looting and vandalism in our inner-cities and elsewhere.

 

That wasn't the question.

 

And if that happens that rioting and looting should be crushed by military force to let the rioters know once and for all, there will be ZERO TOLERANCE for any and all of their BS. They must be shown that they cannot achieve their goals by mob rule. This means shooting protestors/looters en masse, if necessary.

 

You know that's not going to happen, and more importantly, so do they.

 

It would be a violation of the constitution for the federal government to send the US military to quell a riot - and most military members will refuse that illegal order, since it would violate their oaths to support and defend the constitution.

The state in question could send in their national guard troops, but such soldiers would be unlikely to fire on civilians, especially unarmed civilians from their own state - not to mention that it would be political suicide for everyone in office if such an order were given - even if those members had nothing to do with the order.

No, the national guard will be called in to help contain the violence using nonlethal means. The police will attempt to break it up and will arrest people from the mob gradually to help precipitate a dispersal. In fact, knowing the political fallout that will come from any issues, the police will probably be restricted to nonlethal weapons even if attacked directly, so they will be hamstrung from the beginning.

 

I did to.

But then I found out it is probably photoshopped.

Here's the original:



Another example of the media blowing it again, like this one where they got the wrong guy and claimed it was the Martin that was killed:

 

That is the test for the trial to determine if he committed a crime. Not test for whether someone should be arrested and tried.

 

Why take something to trial if you dont have the evidence to convict?

 

To quell angry irrational mobs and score political points.

 

That won't help if Martin is acquitted. If he goes to trial he has to be convicted.

 

Yeah, if he is found not guilty it would be rioting in many of our inner-cities and elsewhere. Whether Zimmerman is actually guilty or not is irrelevant to many who want his head.

 

That illustrates the problem with the SYG law.

It let's murderers get off by setting the evidentiary test too high.
