the thing about this case is that it makes a lousy foundation for a cause. it can only attract people willing to turn a blind eye to m's brutal beating of z. so it will exclude those folks who care about truth and peaceful behaviour.
if there's a need for a new civil rights movement, let it be founded on the plethora of cases that presumably exists in which a representative of a traduced group of people is evidently and undeniably an innocent victim of malign circumstances.
i am all in favour of that. just let someone bring forward the numerous individual examples of prejudice.
make that case. leave this one out of it.
