im trying to gauge how i feel on this topic. gman comes across all cunty, of course, but i don't necessarily disagree with his point. if this wasn't benoit, and it was some random guy, or low-level unknown wrestler, there'd be no such message board defense for him.
maybe thats wrong to the lil guy because everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, or to not be judged by a single/final action. or, maybe its wrong because people are giving benoit too much credit for, bare bones, being a murderer.
its sorta like my favorite political activist chris rock commented about OJ. his trial wasn't about race, it was about fame. if OJ was a simple city bus driver, he'd be "orenthal, the murdering bus driver" in jail. cut and dry, no pun intended.
the issue here is that its difficult to associate benoit with this type of heinous act. there are 10 or so other people in his very field that some sorta crime would seem almost typical (austin, hall, savage, etc). but benoit seemed so very unlikely. the puzzle pieces, when presented with them, just don't seem to fit.
but the truth is, they do. and if things turn out to even resemble what the current story says... thats awful.
