It's okay to be accusative, perhaps even rude, but I'd prefer that if you do that, you take responsibility for your identity. It isn't fair to attack real people under the guise of a pseudonym. <br /><br />Okay?Curtis Favillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213075853354387634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660090614793277371.post-43909176053420556412009-06-07T14:00:59.686-07:002009-06-07T14:00:59.686-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.0000000https://www.blogger.com/profile/14767771887014774485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660090614793277371.post-34316606191146554992009-06-07T09:10:02.678-07:002009-06-07T09:10:02.678-07:00Georgie Porgie

He doesn't offer proofs. He can't seemingly argue. He just gets on a high horse and screeches mean stuff. It would be better if he could think just a little bit, and argue more politely. He can't do this, though.Kirby Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05952289700191142943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660090614793277371.post-88647862010016041242009-06-07T00:05:38.251-07:002009-06-07T00:05:38.251-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.0000000https://www.blogger.com/profile/14767771887014774485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660090614793277371.post-75659324170043816662009-06-06T17:52:24.418-07:002009-06-06T17:52:24.418-07:00Georgie:

Or maybe it's because you're just dissing any reference as fake. I have no idea.<br /><br />Ha ha ha ha. <br /><br />Guess what I'm laughing at.Curtis Favillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213075853354387634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660090614793277371.post-55613987390439977742009-06-06T11:45:15.046-07:002009-06-06T11:45:15.046-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.0000000https://www.blogger.com/profile/14767771887014774485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660090614793277371.post-30088120906975275272009-06-06T04:32:39.642-07:002009-06-06T04:32:39.642-07:00I'm not suggesting that Mehserle is innocent.
...I'm not suggesting that Mehserle is innocent.<br /><br />Obviously, something went terribly wrong.<br /><br />But no responsible officer of the court should state in open proceedings a prejudicial opinion about the facts at issue in a case of this kind. <br /><br />It's the most outrageous thing I've ever seen reported about a judicial proceeding. This judge has shown himself incapable of ruling with any fairness in the case, and the venue will now have to be changed.<br /><br />When O.J. Simpson was acquited, despite overwhelming evidence against him, it was seen as a racial "pay-back" for perceived inequalities in the past. The Black Community needs to take some responsibility for situations in which established authority is intimidated. If you're going to take the position that race is the key issue in these confrontations, there's a parallel responsibility to see that "your people" respect an objective framework of behavior and law. Otherwise you're just advocating open conflict and mob rule.Curtis Favillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213075853354387634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660090614793277371.post-89554142286671913452009-06-05T14:37:29.290-07:002009-06-05T14:37:29.290-07:00But perhaps Mehserle will now be released on a tec...But perhaps Mehserle will now be released on a technicality, which is perhaps what the judge intended?<br /><br />It's really hard to second guess other people that you don't even know. Each person is individual.<br /><br />I wuold make a lousy police officer. God knows what I would have done. Just run, perhaps. Those guns are unbelievably brave.<br /><br />The judge would have never faced anything like that in his whole privileged life.<br /><br />I remember when Rodney King was beaten. An upper class theorist named Judith Butler was talking at the U. of Washington, and blamed the officers, and thought she would have done so much better.<br /><br />Who knows how you'd react? all adrenalin, and terror, and all you want is to get home to your family every night. It's a miracle anybody wants to be a police officer.<br /><br />I could never even pull a car over for a routine traffic stop. This would require unbelievable heroism.Kirby Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05952289700191142943noreply@blogger.com
