PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
All I'm personally asking on this case is one simple thing: if the county officials truly believe the trigger was pulled under circumstances of completely legitimate self-defense, then bring the evidence in front of a grand jury and let them vote not to bring an indictment. Make everything legal and completely above ground. Yes, I realize they might have to change venue all the way to an overseas military base just to find some untainted jurors, but do whatever it takes to make sure it's all done properly. If the shooter is innocent in the eyes of the law, have the law say so in writing with attached triplicate copies. And if he was going hunting for teenagers, let the law speak towards that. We can sign endless numbers of petitions, we can march until our shoes fall apart, we can send hoodie sales through the roof, and we can scream and cry and shake fists at the sky -- but it ultimately means nothing until someone starts the paperwork.
Not that I have much faith in a jury. But at least there would have been something.
It just won't be something that keeps the next kid from being killed.
