Everyone has their opinions and their own ideas about what truly happened. I get that. But the idea that people could be so outraged over the outcome of the Casey Anthony trial, or so excited because of the way the OJ Simpson trial turned out, is beyond me.

Such strong reactions cause the search for the truth to be downplayed, and in some cases, forgotten about altogether.
Really?
I don't get why people cry during movies when they know it's scripted. I don't understand why people get excited when they watch sporting events since they aren't playing the game, nor necessarily watching it live. I don't understand why some people get upset over an injustice when it isn't against them personally.

Just because someone might not be personally or physically involved in something doesn't mean they can't or shouldn't care about it or be emotionally involved in it.
