You have all heard about the shooting in Florida. I don’t watch TV or listen to the radio but everyone I know is telling me all about it. The “facts” fly fast and furious. The source of the facts are a bunch of race-baiters in the news and the political class that are trying to stir up the country for their own gain. The media wants to increase ratings and doesn’t care about the truth. Think Haditha. Think Duke University. Think Afghanistan. Think. I put that last in to wake you up.
The political class wants to stir up class warfare and racial hatred so that they can have an issue in the next election. I am sure that if we look back in history we can find other examples, but this is the government we have and it is ugly to watch in real life.
What do we really know? A man was shot and killed. Beyond that all is rumor and gossip. It is time to step back, take a deep breath and let the justice system take its course. We don’t need a media lynching. We don’t need a media whitewash. What we need is a careful investigation, due process and the belief that a man is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Or did I miss something?
