She's too busy sobbing over the sole injustice in this world, Casey Anthony's acquittal.

Look, the prosecutors failed to provide that she was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The prosecutors didn't do their job; the jury did. Done and done. Be mad at the State of Florida for not providing a good case--don't be mad at a bunch of Internet Strangers.

Passive aggressive dumb bitch has now corrected herself.

If dumb bitch could read she would have already read my novel.

If you're refusing to see the glaring race/class/gender issues with this case, and the media's portrayal for it, I feel sorry for you. It must be hard to see pretty sunsets with all that wool over your eyes.

Oh, I totally see it. But DrPhil brings it into just about every thread like clockwork.

It was already in the thread before DrPhil got here. Stop being such a drama queen. You're not even amusing.

Uh...dumb bitch really needs to learn how to read if she's going to be up my ass and pretend that she has read my every post over the years.

I typically don't call people racist, classist, or sexist. I can't recall ever doing that because it is a rarity. I don't give a shit about people. I examine constructs and overarching dynamics that exist above and beyond what people are thinking and saying/doing. That's what I give a shit about. If katydumbass is going to give a shit about me, she needs to be smarter about it.

You mean, about when it gets dark enough to turn on porch lights? Like, the time many automatic lights go on, and people flip them on because they're waiting for someone to get home?

That's not a memorial, that's slacktivism at its finest.

I don't really think one's death can be 'vindicated.' She was murdered. There's no vindication, not even in finding, convicting and possibly killing the murderer. Nothing 'helps' the victim here in any way unless one has a moral system that only results in heaven for those whose murderers are convicted.

And again we're back to, why do we care about THIS child, and not the other (statistically) three who were murdered on the same date?

Innocent people do not lie to police. Accidents are not made to look like murders. Unfortunately, common sense is not proof of guilt in a court of law.
Innocent people lie to the police all the time. Particularly if you're only referring to the crime being investigated at the time. They might be guilty of gods know what else, or be hiding something embarrassing that isn't a crime at all.

@DrPhil, I'm actually more interested in how it can be changed, or how it should be changed. I think that the 'why' we only see young, pretty, well off, dramatic/sideshowy missing white girls or *gasp* white girls who are murderers while in a foreign country or the like has been pretty well established to anyone who bothers to educate themselves. I'm not so sure on what can be DONE about it, though. Which cases need media attention to help solve them and which don't? And how do we as the viewing public make changes?

I see class issues, but I don't see it as class privilege. Gender and race privilege, however, are all over the place here. It's easier for a jury to look down on a poor or working-class (as I always assumed Casey Anthony to be) than it is a middle class or reasonably wealthy woman. If anything, her class background may have hurt her case...? I guess it's a moo point.

I think a lot of the slut shaming ties in with her class. Pretty, middle class, white girls ain't supposed to be sluts. (If anything, her class worked against her in this case, which isn't typically the case).

Actually, I think a lot of the ways privilege typically works in favor of an accused murderer worked against her (at least in the court of public opinion). Must be the combo effect.

hehehe... I know it's a typo above, but I have a friend who for YEARS thought it was really a "moo point", like, it was so pointless that someone would say "moo" to it to highlight it being nonsensical.

/back to the regularly-scheduled arguments above...

The impact of these factors can't be measured so they can also have a buffering effect.

Being less than middle class, and depicted as a loose party woman at that, can make her appear more of a potential killer; or, it can make her even more of a victim when it intersects with her history of sexual abuse. Those can both weigh on people's thoughts as they are deciding whether she is guilty or fully accountable for WHATEVER happened to Caylee.

The answer to today's Jumble is "Moo Point." I thought of this thread.
