So you think there is a chance the cops planted the guns on them?

All I'm saying is that the media snippets aren't enough to condemn someone, especially given that police reports are not God's infallible word.

For example, I could say these words outloud: "I hate my black neighbor." Most, nearly all, would assume me to be racist. Well, what if he's a white guy with the last name Black, and he's a demonstrable a-hole? What if it's halloween, and my white neighbor dressed up in black-face, and I'm condemning his actions? What if I'm talking about an online argument on reddit with a guy with the username my_black_neighbor? What if my neighbor is black, but I hate him cause he's an a-hole, not because he's black? The point is, it seemed pretty cut and dry, but you didn't have all the info.

My point is, legally, this looks bad for Robinson and Jones. However, we, as poorly uninformed bystanders should not be making moral judgements or throwing out definitive sentences based off of a fraction of the info. And especially given the low bond and first-time offender status, these guys may be able to plead down and learn from their mistakes.

Just wait and have mercy in your heart.
