shot GZ under identical circumstances, then claimed protection under "stand your ground"?

Answer: he would have been arrested and charged that very night, and would still be sitting in a jail cell, with no bail forthcoming.

This is blatantly unequal and biased "justice" playing out in front of the entire world.

The message has already been delivered -- Trayvon's life wasn't worth much at all to a system that wants badly to sweep the entire episode under the rug.
