I'm merely suggesting that qualifying your morals based upon a presupposed level of guilt is absurd. You're making assumptions based upon perceptions from third (or even fourth) source parties, and fitting your morality to suit the situation.
Which is really what disturbs me most when I hear others calling for blood. Innocence and guilt are indeterminate; life and death...not so much.

Am I calling for his blood? No I am not. I said I don't care that he was killed because he was a sack of **** =)
Am I making assumptions? No I'm not. He clearly was guilty of killing a man because of the color of his skin.
