... the system worked, yet justice fell short ...

WTF? If the system worked, justice was served ...

... No doubt race played a role in Martin’s death. Zimmerman likely would not have called the police about a white teenager — even a white teenager wearing a hoodie — walking back from a 7-Eleven.

Who the hell is she - the "Amazing Kreskin" ??? She has absolutely NO IDEA what Zimmerman would have done ...

And, FYI, she's got a law degree - if you can believe that ...

Wonder how uncomfortable it must be for these folks, going this long without a diaper change.

Mr. Zimmerman did not know Mr. Martin had been “returning from a Seven-Eleven”.

That “factoid” plays as little weight in this episode as Mr. Martin’s skin color.

That isn't always true. The legal system is there for a reason, but it can balance everything and account for all nuances.

Them Washington Post is supposed to be a serious newspaper.

How can it be so ignorant of the facts in this case?

Close. That it went to trial shows the flaws. That he was acquitted shows the system works.

RE: the system worked, yet justice fell short

Does the author have any new, compelling evidence that was not already presented to show that Zimmerman acted out of no other motive than SELF-DEFENSE?

I’ve asked this question to my liberal friends who want “JUSTICE FOR TRAYVON” : “What if you were being pounded to within an inch of your life and your head smashed on the pavement, would you just lie there and let the one punching you continue?”

None of them could give me a good answer.

Maybe this author has a better one...

I’m sick of the lies and distortions. It’s real plain and simple, regardless anything else, there came a point in time when Trayvon decided to give Z a beatdown and that didn’t work out for the child-thug.

You’re right, Ruth! It sure did!

Trayvon Martin considered Zimmerman a “creepy ass (white) cracker”, which led the racist black thug Trayvon Martin into an unprovoked attack on the innocent George Zimmerman.

An attack that *almost* took his life, until he shot the thug in self defense.

And... unlike your fantasy about what happened, *my* description actually comes with *evidence* to back it up!

I long ago developed an unshakable attitude on an important point...if the Compost,or the NY Slimes,is in favor of it,I oppose it.If they oppose it,I'm in favor of it.Since I developed it that attitude has *never* let me down.

Not once.

Dirty Little secret the Wash Post will never print:

MANY blacks, if in Zimmerman’s position of having their head bashed would have not hesitated a bit in defending their life by ending Trayon Martin’s.( Black men I work with have told me)

The difference, in the above scenario, is NOT ONE MEDIA/CIVIL RIGHTS HUSTLER would have cared one iota about the black on black violence.

I know, all I hear from the leftists articles that are posted is: “I think” this and “I’m sure” that and “maybe” and now “Zimmerman likely would not have called the police about a white teenager” and I’m thinking....and they know this ....how????????

I don't think race has anything to do with it. I think both white and black kids are capable op sucker punching people and bashing their heads against concrete walks?

LOL! He would have if that white kid was skulking around the backyards of the houses.

They keep repeating this meme like little poor little innocent Martin was walking down the sidewalk in plain view.

She’s a commie racist and nothing will convince her that she is the only one white person who is not racist. Her feigned outrage is to further the agenda.

Pray for America to Wake Up

I can understand those close to the issue in some way being upset, but as to all those who are supposed to be detached, it’s like they didn’t pay attention to the known facts of the case. I know, I know, they’re pushing an agenda, but it makes them look dumb.

In the dark, I wonder if he could even tell he was black? On the 911 recording, Z did say "I think he is black."

Aside, this journalist is making an assumption that has been on the news is true, which has been a problem in this case.
