It seems to be a regular thing these days to see our state in the news. Rarely is it for a good reason. In just the past 3 years or so we have had the joy of producing Casey Anthony, George Zimmerman, and now Robert Corchado. For those not aware Robert Corchado was involved in an automobile crash on April 9th. He re-ended a car that then drove into a KinderCare killing one child and injuring many more. He then left the scene, ditched his vehicle and rented a rental car. He turned himself into authorities the following day.
I am not here to defend nor prosecute Corchado. As the facts stated above are the only facts we really know about the case. However, if you look at any form of social media you will no doubt find post after post calling for this man's head. We saw the same thing with Anthony and Zimmerman. What ever happened to "innocent until proven guilty"? Now, you may say that that only applies in a court of law. Any you are correct. To that I ask, when did you court of public opinion supersede our legal system? When do you say enough is enough and stop with this mob rule mentality? STOP!!!! Stop listening to the talking heads. Stop thinking what you are told to think. In the words of Timothy Leary "Think for yourself. Question authority."
I fear that this blog will no doubt fall on deaf ears (or blind eyes). So, that being the case, I have pitchforks and torches on sale.

seeing as you brought up the daycare I just want to throw out there that my son goes to kinder care(not that one) and they are setting up a fund for donations for the families effected so if anyone would like to donate please let me know thank you
ReplyDeleteWell I think that everyone has become that way over the years because you see more and more crazy things. Even thought they should be consider innocent until proven guilty most of the time they are guilty. And if you havent notice most of them go free like Anthony and zimmerman. Also mist of there acts make people mad for example the man who crashed into the child care could have waited there and even helped to make sure everyone injured. If these people who have no common sense why should people have pity over them.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly my point. You say that Anthony and Zimmerman are guilty, prove it. What evidence did the state provide in either case that shows their guilt. Everyone finds them guilty because their emotions tell them that they are. But, your court system isn't based on emotion, angry mobs are.

Deletei guess but they both took someones life away. i mean what i'm saying is i really don't care. lol to me they both had unexplained events that are questionable. i guess everybody live and think they think is right. and just because i think this way doesn't mean i'm going to go outside the court house with a sigh that says Murder lol. which i think is stupid and a waste of time because if the jury comes back with a verdict of not guilty no matter how much you chant or stomp your feet they will go free.
