Zimmerman has been accused of vigilantism and Stand Your Ground laws of encouraging vigilantism. Both are valid claims, but the solution to vigilante justice is not to encourage vigilante juries.

The article was an iffy piece from the get-go, but went right over the cliff there. The authoress is retarded, ser.

After the jury found George Zimmerman not guilty of murdering Trayvon Martin, many cities erupted into protests of what was perceived as a fundamentally unfair and racially-biased verdict that was the result of a broken justice system

The interesting thing is that this is a lie.

The significance of this lie (presuming this piece was not written BEFORE the verdict) is that the grievance industry wants us to BELIEVE there is great public upset over the verdict, when that is obviously and demonstrably untrue.

The dog did not bark.

Among those protesting that Zimmerman should be punished, some admitted that the flaw was actually found within the Florida law which departs significantly from the common law by allowing individuals who initiate confrontations to use deadly force to defend themselves without a duty to escape.

There are times I wish that I had the ability to grab people like this around the throat and scream into their face, "George Zimmerman did not initiate the confrontation with Trayvon Martin! It was Trayvon who initiated the confrontation! George Zimmerman was ONLY attempting to visually locate the suspicious person, when Martin approached him!"

If these are the future Massachusetts lawyers, I hope, if I’m ever being tried, that my lawyer comes up against one of them. They’re idiots.

The overwhelming facts vindicating Zimmerman are there and they can’t see them.

This article nonchalantly dismisses the millenia-old notion of the right to self-defense, and proceeds with some totalitarian wet dream about "reverse jury nullification."

When a patriotic American is confronted by such breathtaking ignorance, such profound detachment from the notions of Freedom and Justice, he or she should be rightly appalled.

People who write this way, talk this way, and think this way represent the greatest threat to Freedom that America will ever see. Whether willful or well-meaning, rich or poor, educated or barbarian, they are totalitarians of the highest order. They hold the type of mindset which fuels the rise of savage regimes like the Nazis and other such murderous collectivist abominations like we saw in the 20th century.

It looks the the 21st century might just outdo the 20th in the "democratically enabled murderous Tyranny" department, especially with the advance of technology and its arbitrary and Unconstitutional use by Government.

Any patriotic American who is aware of our Revolution, the basics of Common Law, the Enlightenment, Natural Rights, Classical Liberalism, and the reason for minimal government in the first place, knows that such "reasoning" is antithetical to everything this country ideally stands for.

We must fight all of the Tyranny which we find ourselves in the midst of, and I am convinced that the price will be not only our treasure, but, even moreso, the blood of many of us and our countrymen.

Rest assured, we and our ilk will be made examples of, by the elite and who take turns dominating us.

But I digress...
