SCIENCE AND THE PEOPLE WHO PURSUE IT...Part II

THE TRIAL AFTERMATH: FIRST THOUGHT

I was expecting this outcome to the trial. Sadly. I hate to admit that but it's true. BUT, like watching someone through a long illness subsequently die, when they do...it's still a shock.

What ignorance. What blindly stultifyingly ignorant BULLSHIT.

To see 6 women, 5 of them mothers, IGNORE totally the real facts in this case...not the crap presented by the defense team nor the surprisingly inept presentation(s) by the prosecution but the FACTS. Appalling. Absolutely appalling. I wonder if these white women suddenly lost one of their kids to a Zimmerman OR God Forbid a Trayvon (black male) if their verdict would be the same and of course we ALL know the answer to that one do we not?

What has happened to cause us to SO COMPLETELY DISMISS the meaning of what humanity and compassion and loving and caring is supposed to be about. NOBODY who truly understands the meaning or value of human life could have found themselves rendering the verdict that was just reached in Sanford. THAT VERDICT WAS IDIOTIC and justice it was NOT.

Sad commentary on America. Sad and ignorant and stupid and it makes me cry as I reach out to my friend Curtis in Chattanooga and go 'what can I say?' This isn't white. Not about color. PLAIN & SIMPLE...THIS IS IGNORANCE, irregardless of skin or ethnicity and WHY WHY WHY in 2013 should ANY OF THAT MATTER anymore?

I LOVE my friend Curtis to death, and not because of his color either way. I love Curtis cause of his MIND. Dude is BRIGHT. SMART. Scary bright lol, and too because of his HUMANITY. He is KIND. Gentle, AND yes he happens to be black.

BUT. I am white and SO WHAT? SO FUCKING WHAT?

WHY would ANYONE think my friend is LESS than me cause of skin. I would do almost anything to keep Curtis from harm, and I suspect he feels the same although I have never asked. I would cause he is my FRIEND and he is a good human being.

You know what scares me now? Not Trayvon or Jordan Davis. Too late for them (but not too late for justice to still be done), but...Curtis lives in Chattanooga. Last I looked, that is the SOUTH. I will find myself I am sure now wondering...and perhaps being a bit fearful for him. I don't want to lose my friend. That would sadden me more than I could ever say. So, yes. I will think of him and worry cause THAT is who I am. I care for my friends and worry when I sense danger. BUT WHY?

THIS IS IGNORANT. I should fear for Curtis MERELY because he lives in the south and is BLACK? GOOD GOD PEOPLE. GEEZ.

Like I said, that verdict was and is IGNORANT. and if ignorance is indeed bliss, the south must be ESTATIC. PFUI.

More later.
