Tigers and Stripes

From the "good article" on "Some people actually can challenge their pre-existing assumptions and be swayed by facts" article:

Since I was rickrolled to Slate, thought I'd read it:

"That doesn't make Zimmerman a hero. It just makes him a reckless fool instead of a murderer," opineth the Slate Author.

siiighhh Mr. Slate Author can't let Zim get off completely? Zim can't just be a guy, who had to do what he had to do to a feral attacker. No, Zim has to still be a "reckless fool" somehow.

"Zimmerman is guilty, morally if not legally, of precipitating the confrontation that led to Martin's death. He did many things wrong. Mistake No. 1 was inferring that Martin was a burglar."

And after that I quit reading the clusterfluke.
