Robert Paul Wolff here<\/a> vents "a rage that can find no appropriate expression" over "The judicially sanctioned murder of Trayvon Martin . . . ."  <\/span><\/p>\n

"Meanwhile, Zimmerman's gun will be returned to him.  He would have suffered more severe punishment if he had run over a white person's dog."<\/span><\/p>\n

What fascinates me is the depth of the disagreement between a leftist like Wolff and  a conservative like me.  A judicially sanctioned murder?  Not at all.  A clear case of self-defense, having nothing objectively to do with race, as I have made clear in earlier posts.  And please note that "Stand Your Ground" was no part of the defense.  The defense was a standard 'self defense' defense.  Anyone who is not a leftist loon or a black race-hustler and who knows the facts and the law and followed the trial can see that George Zimmerman was justly acquitted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wolff ought to be proud of a judicial system that permits a fair trial in these politically correct times.  But instead he is in a rage.  What would be outrageous would have been a 'guilty' verdict.<\/span><\/p>\n

Was the blogger at Philosopher's Stone<\/em> a stoned philosopher when he wrote the above nonsense?  I am afraid not.  And that is what is deeply disturbing and yet fascinating.  What explains such insanity in a man who can write books as good as The Autonomy of Reason<\/em> and In Defense of Anarchism<\/em>?<\/span><\/p>\n

Does the good professor have a problem<\/em> with Zimmerman's gun being returned to him after he has been cleared of all charges?  Apparently.  But why?  It's his property<\/em>.  But then Wolff is a Marxist . . . .<\/span><\/p>\n

It is sad to see how many fine minds have been destroyed by the drug of leftism.<\/span><\/p>\n
