Showing Original Post only (View all)Juror B37 On CNN Has Me Fuming Right Now.... [View all]
What a biased, ignorant, right-wing hack....
George Zimmerman had a "good heart"!?!? Are you serious!? He "helped out a neighbor lady", making them feel more secure. He was probably helping some old white lady feel safer because they shared a sentiment that "they" (African-Americans) we're posing a "threat" to their safe little community.
"He had a right to defend himself!?" What about Trayvon's right to defend HIMSELF!?
I'm also getting a little tired of the right wing sentiment that only blacks are defending Trayvon, partly perpetrated by the media. I'm watching this interview with the rest of my white, middle class family and we are ready to go out and start protesting! This is the epitome of injustice!
