you really think racism is the primary cause of this discrepancy?

You guys need to recognize the separation of "The court of law" and "the court of public opinion." Innocent until proven guilty only applies in a court of law. What is wrong with a member of the public (not on the jury) to take the information on a case and form an opinion on it? They are not governed by the rules of a law in the way they make their decision. Just because the law is supposed to assume they are innocent until proven otherwise does not mean that I have to. The most notable example would be O.J.s case. Just because he was found not guilty in a court of law am I supposed to change my opinion on the case to reflect that?
Now if you're spouting off with shit like, "lets go lynch those negros" and "if only I could get 5 minutes alone with one of them" you're just sounding off like an asshole. 3/13/2008 3:47:13 PM |

Innocent until proven guilty doesn't mean you have to believe they're innocent. It's just a legal term. 3/13/2008 4:00:45 PM |
