The jury was absolutely right

42. This diatribe extolling

the virtues of the Zimmerman defense team totally misses the point of the endemic bigotry and failures of the entire legal system of Florida which not only permitted Zimmerman to get away with murder, but actually encouraged the act. SYG and CCW laws serve no other purpose than to legalize vigilantism, and give bullies like Zimmerman a license to kill.

Yes, you are correct: under the bigoted and obscene "laws" of Florida, the jury did their job. The failure began with the sloppy police work on the night of the murder, and continued through the unprofessional display of total incompetence by the prosecutors (most likely by design). Zimmerman was not originally charged with a crime until public outcry and the Federal Government demanded action. Like the asshats that they are, the "public advocates" presented an unwinnable case with a half-assed effort, and did not want to bring out the truth.

The facts remain however: Zimmerman profiled, stalked, and confronted Trayvon Martin, and not the other way around. In any sane and fair jurisdiction, Zimmerman would have been found guilty. Just because a red-necked, racist system, and the like-minded people who oversee it, made a decision to blame the hoodie-wearing black kid for his own murder does not change the obvious truth.
