Hi Humans,

Don't be shy. If you want to comment on my blog entries, please do so. You don't have to be a dog to say what you think. or if you have a pet dog and want to have your dog speak for you, that's also OK. I would like to hear from you or your dog.

Zimmerman Trial

Hi Humans,
You humans have been talking a lot about the Zimmerman trial on television. I don't know if Mr. Zimmerman is guilty of murder or not, i.e. did he really intend to commit murder? You humans have all these categories of killing (first degree murder, second degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter). I would say that he should not have been carrying a gun in the first place, and so he was guilty of negligence resulting in death. So one might say he committed involuntary manslaughter. Perhaps the real guilt belongs to a culture that worships guns. Evil is not always committed by psychopaths but often by simple people who are misled by their environment. I would be more sympathetic to Mr. Zimmerman if he would acknowledge the evil that his carrying a gun caused and separate himself from the gun nuts who support him. But on that issue he is silent. As far as I can tell, he thinks he was correct and was only defending himself. Sometimes I don't understand you humans with your supposedly big brains.
