(68,388 posts)He will become the new Joe the Plumber, or Oliver North, or G. Gordon Liddy, or Sarah Palin.
He will be lionized by RW groups and paid lots of money to speak at their conferences.
He will be interviewed endlessly by the likes of Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck, and he will have a ghost-written book put out by Regnery that will be purchased in huge numbers by RW billionaires and given away as a freebie whenever someone signs up to a RW site or donates to a RW politician.
He will have to use a little bit of the huge amount of money he makes to hire private security, but what the hey. He will probably think it was all worth it, since he will now be the big man he always wanted to be, instead of a loser who had to have his daddy pay his rent because he couldn't hold down a real job.
Besides being a gross injustice, I feared acquittal in this case because I feel pretty sure that he will benefit tremendously from having stalked and murdered that poor kid.
I had hoped that being mothers would influence the jury, but apparently they could not imagine a teenaged black boy as a mother's son, but only as a terrifying, dangerous "thug."
