All we ever asked for was for equal justice for the young man who was killed that drizzling night in Sanford, Florida. If George Zimmerman had rights, so did Trayvon Martin. And that is why Mr. Zimmerman was properly arrested and charged with murder in the second degree. He will soon be judged by a jury of his peers, and that is the best we can do.
And this is what I have been saying lately. If you go back in time to when this fecal matter first hit the oscillating rotatory device that is the twitterverse - the cause celebre was that there was no fact finding process - that the optics were such that the cracker white PD let the cracker white shooter waltz out of there no questions asked.
Of course, in time, it’s morphed into a replay as farce of the OJ trial with much invested in the outcome of the process - not that there was in fact a process.
I say mixed in with some of the obligatory race pimp rhetoric that there is a kernel of wisdom (or a dose of reality - take your pick) in these comments.
At the very beginning the outrage in the “community” was that no arrest was made and no charges filed.
Well an arrest *was* made, charges *were* filed, and in fact the trial is about to conclude.
The voice of reason would conclude that this is what was required at the outset - everyone got their day in court.
My fear is that all of this gets lost in the whole “yay for our side, bronx cheer for yours” that our domestic politics has descended into.
Cracker white shooter?
