I'm not exactly sure what you mean, or where you stand on this issue... But my first thought was the biased and ridiculous attitude by our media and law enforcement, in that the seriousness of the charge was more important than the nature of the evidence. This is still a country where someone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. I find
polls like this one at Fox news to be very alarming.
This reminds me of the former IMF chief, Strauss-Kahn, regarding his alleged sexual assault of a hotel maid. The seriousness of the charge once again took precedence over the nature of the evidence, and he was arrested before any evidence was brought against him. Now we're learning the hotel maid was a prostitute, lied to law enforcement officers, and had over $100k in the bank.
Yet another fine example was Micheal Jackson and the child molestation charges that were brought against him...
In all three cases above, the individuals were presumed guilty, and were left trying to prove themselves innocent. This is the exact opposite of how our justice system is supposed to function. Our country has become reactionary. Perhaps Casey Anthony is guilty of all the charges the prosecution had against her. But we'd be starting down a very dangerous path in condemning and sentencing her for a crime we can't prove she's committed. It seems many Americans no longer consider or respect the rule of law. Many people are quick to condemn the accused, regardless of the evidence (or lack thereof), and no longer believe that a person is innocent until proven guilty. This is a path that always leads to tyranny, fascism, and totalitarianism.
Research shows that one in three Clinton supporters are just as stupid as the other two.
