In reply to the discussion: Tweet from Jay Smooth on Zimmerman.. [View all]calimary
(81,261 posts)50. That's about the only message that can be taken away from this.
I couldn't believe it - but at the same time, I wasn't a bit surprised.
Trayvon didn't have a chance, OR get justice. And I fear, exceedingly, that there will be more victims like him because of this. Zimmerman's beating the rap will only give the green light to other paranoiacs who wish to be self-anointed vigilante judge/jury/executioner types. Now this murder has been justified.
Horrible.
A grim day. A very grim day.
