“got away with murder” for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin, but that there wasn’t enough evidence at trial to convict him under Florida law.”

Someone in the state of Fla. ought to explain to these people that evidence (or in SOME cases, the lack of it), is the reason a we have a judge and jury who meet to determine innocence or guilt of the accused...instead of following the ‘judgement’ of public opinion.

Public opinion whicn is at best flawed, fallable, emotional, subjective (and THANKS TO THE MSM- both misinformed and uninformed)- I say that Public Opinion...CANNOT be relied upon to properly and objectively assess facts or evidence!!!

You don’t have to be a genius to comprehend this.

I'm going to go ahead and say it. For a segment of the population that thinks it is wrong to stereo type, based on the actions "of a few", the raw ignorance and stupidity on display for the is defeating their position. And the media is not helping the cause by repeatedly showing how stupid the stereo typed portion of the population apparently is.

Every time I see another story of a person that does not understand the most basic and fundamental of our "rule of law", I think I "stereo" type just a little more.
