DU lost its mind after the Zimmerman verdict

[avebury]

85. People are so upset because, although we live in the

21st Century, parents have to worry about their children's safety just because of race of skin color.
That is just so unacceptable.

So many conservative white people are in melt down over the fact that the clock is ticking on when they (or their decendents) will find themselves moved into the minority classification and that is driving them insane (as witnessed by voter supression laws just to start with).

People are also upset with the lack of justice where one man kills a 17 year old child and walks while a black women shoots a warning shot into the ceiling of her home in self defense and gets 20 years in prison.

People are upset with the sloppy work by the Sanford Florida Police Department. There is not doubt that they did not take this case seriously from the start which resulted in the loss of a lot of evidence and mishandling of witnesses.

People are upset that his nation has de-evolved to the point where it takes social media to make police departments and prosecutors to their job. What ever happened to just doing you job because it is the right thing? What ever happend to working to get to the truth?

What ever happened to giving the lessor among us the same level of protection that is give to the greater among us? Why should race even factor into how well a police investigation is conducted?

This case is an example of how far off the track this country has gotten. And you wonder why people on DU (and elsewhere around the country) are upset? This case is just part of the disease that has infected this country. And there is no cure in sight.
