It was reported he was out for a jog, his mother said he liked to run. If thats the case, his stop at that property is a lil suspicious? Also, he wasn't really dressed to be running and some could find that suspicious. Either way, those dudes had no right to chase him down and kill him. They are threats to society and should not be out here with the rest of us. Theres not doubt race played a pivotal decision in their actions. I sure their character will be called in court.
I'm black!
Exactly. Both things can be true. He might have been acting suspiciously but at the same time those dudes went way over the line and were likely fueled by racist ulterior motives.
Balance fallacy
The
balance fallacy is an
informal logical fallacy that occurs when two sides of an
argument are assumed to have equal or comparable value regardless of their respective merits, which (in turn) can lead to the conclusion that the answer to a problem is always to be found between two
extremes. The latter is effectively an inverse
false dilemma, discarding the two extremes rather than the middle.
While the
rational position on a topic is often between two extremes, this cannot be assumed without actually considering the
evidence. Sometimes the extreme position is actually the correct one, and sometimes the entire spectrum of belief is wrong, and
truth exists in an orthogonal direction that hasn't yet been considered.
Balance is often a problem in the
media, where confrontational or adversarial
journalism might present more of a controversy about some topic than actually exists, giving equal time to
fringe minority viewpoints to draw in viewers. It is effectively the opposite of
bias — whereas bias over-emphasises one view to the detriment of another legitimate, well-supported view to give the impression of one being favoured, false balance over-emphasises a minority or unsupported view to the detriment of a well-supported view to give the impression that neither is favoured.
REPEAT:
Balance is often a problem in the media, where confrontational or adversarial journalism might present more of a controversy about some topic than actually exists, giving equal time to fringe minority viewpoints to draw in viewers.
Fringe Minority Viewpoints presented here:
What was he wearing?
What was his heart rate?
Why was he wearing those shoes?
Why did he look in an empty house?
Did he steal in High School?
His Momma said he liked to run.
Etc
Etc
What does any of that matter?
SRS - I'd like to know.
Weve spent pages and pages talking about the victim.
I just posted a video exposing the corruption of an entire department / DA's office but yet and still folks are CONSUMED by the murder victims attire / victim " looking suspicious".
Wow.
