In reply to the discussion: A couple of years ago, I was personally responsible for starting a lot of OPs on Zimmerman [View all]DonCoquixote
(13,950 posts)Is to see the wicked expose their true selves once fear of punishment is passed, and to see their defenders construct armor and shelter for the retribution that sadly, may not come.
Zimmerman helped make Ferguson, Baltimore, and New York possible, as cops felt emboldened by seeing Zimmerman anointed.
And sooner or later, when blue-eyed white, suburban kids get shot with the same ease that the Tray martins did, we will hear people blubber, and we will say:
"Remember that old line by a Lutheran Minister about "first they came for the Jews?, well folks, we warned you, so you can go over to that corner of hell with the people who did not stop the Nazis, the Stalinist, the McCarthyism monsters and Klansmen and others because they chanted the mind killing mantra "they will never come after me." Yeah, it is a long, sad line, but it is where you belong."
PS: Slightly off topic addition, but still pertinent:
I really really really hope we do not add "I never thought Trump would get away with it" to that list, though he is linked to Zimmerman in that he enable the majority to take off their masks and put on the white sheets, and scream the hate at the top of their lungs!
