If George Zimmerman feels invincible after that verdict, you know that

35. I'm afraid that not just Zimmerman but

others of his ilk feel emboldened by that horrendous verdict, also. Just a few days ago, an eight-year-old black boy, who was playing with neighbor children in the parking lot of his apartment complex, was shot in the face for no reason (well, is there EVER a reason with a child that young? No, I'd say not) by a white man whom witnesses said had been waving his gun around at the parking lot. When a resident heard the shot, he came running outside to find the child with half his face hanging off, blood pouring down it, and the man leaning against his truck. When the resident asked if he'd done it, the guy just calmly said, "Yeah, I shot that kid." It sounds as if you could almost hear the "so what" behind that statement.

And yet, he was only charged with injury to a child, for Christ's sake. That's ALL, at least right now. And I can just hear the fucker's defense, "the kid was throwing the ball around in a menacing way and I was afraid he was gonna throw it right at me in an aggressive manner with a dehumanizing stare" or some such other fucking horseshit. And the sad thing is, there are plenty of people who will think just that and who will actually believe that the child was some kind of threat to this Rambo motherfucker simply because he was black and male.

He's still hanging on in critical condition and is said to be improving but, even if he survives, he has many surgeries, rehabs and a very long, hard road ahead of him. And the motherfucker should be forced to give up everything he has and owns to pay for it, the family should not have to pay one fucking damn cent in medical bills. Period.

I predict many more such incidents in the near future, and good luck getting the cops and prosecutors to actually do their fucking jobs.
