You don't have to be a fucking genius to figure out who's in the wrong here.
And anyone with a brain knows that if it were Zimmerman who had gotten the bullet, Trayvon probably would have been strung up by now.
EDITED TO ADD: They ran Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo on Comedy Central last night. There's a scene in it where a black guywho witnessed a crimeapproaches an FBI agent to give him his story. The FBI agent immediately pulls his gun, goes into combat stance and trains it on the black guy telling him to back away.
It was supposed to be funny. The problem is, it was too goddamn close to the truth to make me laugh.
