You hopefully don't get arrested for doing what in your, or my view, is the wrong thing. Otherwise a whole lot of people would get arrested when they have committed no crime.

For example, I think that you, Al Sharpton, and the media are doing the wrong thing in calling for Zimmerman's arrest (on the basis of now-publicly- available information), rather than demanding a more-thorough look at the case, if you think that the original investigation was flawed. While you, in my view, are certainly doing the wrong thing, I not calling for your arrest.

You hopefully only get arrested when law enforcement authorities have "probable cause" to believe that you committed a CRIME. When, and if, law enforcement authorities truly believe (as opposed to being pressured by one-sided reporting in the media and by Sharpton-led demonstrations) that they have probable cause to believe that George Zimmerman committed a CRIME, I will join you in calling his arrest "good news".
