Does it....? I think it will only fuel it.
I won't debunk the charge/observation by the host, for I am not versed in all he reveals. What I can do is offer my own observation and summation, as to what I think transpired. As with any story as this, no one holds the ability to predict the "what if" because it can never be made fact. What I do believe is this "ending" was the result of undo pressure applied against our legal system for their own personal reasons/beliefs/promotions. I feel the proper charge should have been manslaughter. I say this under reasoning of this analogy: You have a good hard working person who agrees with some co-workers to stop off at the local beer bar to catch a few after work... He knows his limit, and he abides to it, and begs off after only drinking a beer or two. He drives home under the legal limit and is enjoying himself from having put in a good week at work, and socializing with his friends.... He decides he needs some tunes to help enhance his mellowness. He reaches down to his car radio, turning it on, trying to find the right station and tune..... He didn't see the kids dart out into the crosswalk as he glanced quickly down. The kids were killed.....
Now, were the kids responsible in not looking out to make sure any traffic saw them, yes. Was the guy driving distracted momentarily by his own actions, yes. Did the consuming even a legal amount of alcohol contribute to this tragedy,I think so.
Remove anyone of these "links in the chain" and it most likely would never had happen.
Zimmerman by getting out and pursuing was the first link that set up the event to unfold the way it did. For that he shares responsibility in the outcome. Does Martin, absolutely, but he has already paid the ultimate price for his actions.
This sad stuff happens day in and day out, every day.... It is the deal we make with the powers that be that grant us life, no one ever escapes it, death... of the flesh.
What tainted this story was indeed people trying to use this sad story for their own person reason(s). Is it right to try a person before he has his day in court...is it? I think not, a "free press" is NOT carte blanc to print whatever you desire. How can anyone, white, black, gay, straight, etc, ever defend themselves against that sort of publicity without jeopardizing their legal case which is guaranteed to ALL in this nation? They undermine the very thing that separates our legal system from many others around the world....and that is innocent until PROVEN guilty....
I hold most of the media in contempt, the naming of the 777 pilots being a good example to their demise from the days of journalistic integrity trumping personal desires.
I do find hope in the access of the INTERNET where instant and total recall hopefully won't let lies ans deceit find root.
