I don't agree with everything Bill Cosby says, but his take on the Zmmerman trial is worth reading about: From the Orlando Sentinel:
Bill Cosby will talk guns, the prosecution and the media in the George Zimmerman case. But he has no interest in discussing racial profiling.
In an interview with the "DomNnate Radio Show," the TV legend was adamant on the race issue.
"This racial stuff goes into a whole bunch of discussion which has stuff that you can't prove," Cosby said in an interview Tuesday. "You can't prove somebody is a racist unless they really come out and do the act and is found to be that."...
Cosby's take on the trial? "The prosecution did not tell the story well, and they lost," Cosby said.
His take on the media? Cosby was over the media after the Casey Anthony trial. "I found the media were jumping and had this woman guilty," Cosby said. "I will never pay attention to information given to me by TV, radio or whatever about a high-profile case until the jury says what it says."
Cosby sounded incensed that people were giving their opinions in what amounted to moneymaking operations for media companies.
His take on guns? "I know if you have a gun, it changes your whole feeling about what you can tell people, about how people better do what you say," Cosby said. "Your mind can turn in such a way that you have a sense of control."
Cosby noted that Florida law says people have a right to defend themselves, but the situation "is getting out of line."
But racial profiling? "Let's not go into a racial discussion unless we really have something there," he said. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment/blogs/tv-guy/os-george-zimmerman-bill-cosby-says-dont-talk-race-20130716,0,266734.post
I do agree somewhat with his views on guns, but disagree with him on defending yourself.
But I agree that there should be no talk about racial profiling because there is no evidence to suggest it.
Another Drone Theory! "Conspiracy"????
