Unlearned Lessons and the George Zimmerman Trial

NOTE: As of this writing the jury was deliberating and cable news networks were “filling time with wild speculation from media ordained experts” who know as much about what’s happening in the jury room as a coin-toss. The jury could come in at any time between hitting “send” noon on Saturday and this going live at midnight Sunday.
Can I just say something controversial that must be said? I don’t care about the George Zimmerman trial. I don’t, not even a little. That’s not to say I don’t feel sorry for those involved who’ve lost a loved one, I do. One family lost a child to a gun, the other lost a child to a mob. One is in eternal rest far too soon, the other will never know rest in all his remaining days. But that doesn’t mean I should care about it, nor should you.
Sympathize away, but being invested emotionally while not being a friend or family member of anyone involved is irrational and dangerous.
But an emotional investment is exactly what every news outlet in the country wants you to have. There’s money in it and it fits their progressive agenda.
