The wisdom of Yahoo message board, re: Zimmerman trial

[reflection]

"This trial is becoming a mockery of our legal system. Just heard the judge is also now allowing charges to be changed with what sounds like an attempt to get some type of conviction because murder 2 definitely is not there. Judge acting as an activist from the bench. Sacrificing of a mans life for political purposes. Sounds like Benghazi all over again."



On edit: added quote marks

1. "Sounds like Benghazi" ????

I guess I miss your point.

[reflection]

2. not my point.

I copied it from some cretin at Yahoo. I missed the point as well.

3. I believe the OP

is a quote from the aforementioned yahoos on Yahoo - not the words of the person posting the OP.

On edit: yes, mentioning Benghazi in this context is most definitely non sequitur-ish - proof that FAUX 'News' propaganda has wrapped itself all around his brain.

6. I missed the quotes the first time...my bad.

8. Eh, it happens

I've had to read and reread lots of posts myself in order to make sure I understand.

12. no worries, my fault entirely

Posted from my phone so I had limited opportunity to copy and paste. Hard to toggle back and forth on the tiny screen.

4. He took this from a message board, its not his thoughts.

I think he forgot to put the link.

5. The HLN Facebook comments are fun, too

Apparently the trial coverage is biased because the Jew controlled media charged up their black followers to threaten to riot. Al Sharpton! Personally, I was a little surprised to find out that Reverend Al was Jewish.

I also found out that blacks were more racist than whites. In fact, racism in America is only against white people. Because liberals and minorities control the government and the media, except for Fox News.

9. that's a lot of crazy crammed in one comment.

This trial is really bringing out the best in people isn't it?

[Nevernose]

13. Oh, that's not one comment

Between Headline News and HuffPo, over the last few days I've seen thousands of different people posting this shit.

Between the crazy, the stupid, and the just plain mean, I'm at a loss for appropriate words.

I'll give you another example: When it was testified to that Trayvon had yelled "get off! Get off!" one sad asshole wrote, "If you people knew the street like I know the street, you would know that "get off" is gangbanger slang for "fight."

There's not a lot of room for reality with Zimmerman supporters, apparently.

7. Apparently the Yahoo illuminati never heard of Jury instructions...

by the Judge as he charges the jury....

The judge will point out that his or her instructions contain the interpretation of the relevant laws that govern the case, and that jurors are required to adhere to these laws in making their decision, regardless of what the jurors believe the law is or ought to be. In short, the jurors determine the facts and reach a verdict, within the guidelines of the law as determined by the judge.

10. If there are illuminati on that board

their 'illumination' is no brighter than 10W - and that's coming from an incandescent bulb.

16. *Yahoo illuminati*

Perfect description!

11. Probably the first and last time I'll ever see "wisdom" and "Yahoo" in the same sentence. n/t

15. I've developed my troll-bashing skills by dealing with Yahoo message board commenters

That's the only reasonable use for the place
