If these pertinent facts are being rejected flatly by those with opposing opinions....then you two should ration the amount of debate energy you continue to put into the argument...If the folks already have their minds made up, If their ears are shut to the surrounding circumstances, If the hatred for George Zimmerman as a white racist child killer is a pregone conclusion, If the patterns and the history of local crime leading up to the confrontation has no bearing, then how fruitful is your debate.
These beautiful, bright emotionally-fixed people appear to be conducting their own trial with their own skewed set of facts outside this trial...what we must do is stay with-in the unfolding expectations of this trial and not anymore argue with them about the trial they see ......
