Actually Chris Hayes is full of shit

Yea, its not nice to say someone is full of it, but sometimes you just have to call it as it is.  Chris Hayes thinks that if makes sense to equate a Hispanic male defending himself against assault with a moron killing three students in Chapel Hill NC.  That is, that justifiable homicide in the defense of self is the same as murder, that if attacked unless you just let yourself get killed you are a murderer.

Besides the pure intellectual dishonesty it has to take to consider these equivalent events is the clear manipulation involved in using one to malign the other. I know, I know, people like Chris Hayes live in a bubble with a number of myths that impair their judgement:  Those myths range from the grand belief that no one should own a firearm, much less carry one for self-defense, to the notion that no black teen could ever commit mayhem, to no white (or whitish) man could ever be justified in killing a black (or Muslim) assailant  I know people like Hayes cannot conceive of a possibility that involves a person having to defend themselves against another person.  I know they are so riddled with white guilt that they think it would be appropriate reparations that any white person who is attacked by a black person should simply allow themselves to be victimized so as to make up for the sins of their ancestors, such as they might be. I am sure that, if Hayes was ever to be in a situation where a black male assaulted him, he would probably just shoot himself to make up for the perceived wrongs of his own race.

I know, that makes me sound racist - but it is not so.  I am suggesting that race has nothing to do with it.  I am suggesting the essence of equality; that each of us has a right to defend ourselves against assault, regardless of race, creed or color.  Zimmerman could have been any color or race, so could Trayvon and, in the end, the result being the same was the appropriate end.

So how about getting the fuck off of this crazy train.  Trayvon was killed because he chose to assault Zimmerman. Zimmerman may be an asshole, but even an asshole has the right to defend himself against attack. I have no idea what was behind the killing of these Muslim students in NC.  But I do know that Zimmerman's self-defense is not the same as allegedly killing people for either their religion or over a parking space.

And straining as hard as Hayes has to to try to make this case is absurd - and shows why his ratings are in the tank.
