TKTKRTK - you should not argue from a false premise. I certainly did not suggest imprisoning black children or anything so foolish. You are deflecting, and not dealing with the real problem. My America may, in your vocabulary (I assuming a mediocre level of education on your part), "suck", but even if that is true it does not address the very real problem of grossly disproportionate crime committed by black males. And yes, this is so even with the problems with the justice system, where it is certainly the case that people without economic means (and often they are minorities) do not navigate it well. But at the end of the day, you have inordinate amounts of crime committed by black males and the fear that it engenders. You can call me names, wish that I don't vote, and any other ad hominem attack, but it still does not change the fact that there is a real problem. Making yourself feel morally superior does not change the facts. And while our racial history in this country is a terrible stain, we have to move past it, and the black crime problem is today's problem, and a really significant one. One cannot understate the negative impact it has on communities, families, and the development of human capital. To ignore it frankly is to lack compassion, for the victims, for those caught up in the vicious cycle, and the communities and families.
And I don't really care about all of your hypotheticals. Heck, you might be right. But what is important by any measure is the case that the state brings. Your feelings and hypotheticals don't matter, and moreover, we can all comment accurately on what is in the public record in the trial proceedings. And again, if you feel strongly that an injustice has taken place, why are you not addressing the woeful performance so far by the state? I am at a loss at to why Al Sharpton, the Martin family lawyer, etc., are not absolutely up in arms over the special prosecutor's handling of the case. Aren't you?
