We're really swimming in it now.

134. There has been some misrepresentation of the facts, however:

This case would have never been pursued if it hadn't been exposed those who are being charged with sensationalizing and exploiting the issue. It appears to me that the authorities didn't investigate the incident properly and this young man's death would have been justified and the case closed with Zimmerman regarded as a model upright citizen and hero for protecting his neighbors from a dangerous Black thug. End of story.

It was the media, with all off its faults that you have correctly pointed out, that has revealed that this young man's death was certainly subject to further investigation. The facts that are being revealed, in my estimation, demand further investigation than was originally the intent of the authorities.

Just on the surface, I would think that this so-called Stand Your Ground law, would seem to apply more to the Trayvon Martin who was killed rather than to Zimmerman. The kid armed Ice Tea and Skittles was certainly no match for a grown man, who incidentally has a rather checked past at best, who was armed with a 9mm gun.
