People aren't upset just for Trayvon, they're upset that the crazy SYG law and racism resulted in an innocent child's death, and his murderer was not punished...and that it could and will happen again. That's why we can't get over it. This wasn't just an aberrational hiccup in our legal system. The system worked exactly as it was designed. And that's a problem we can't "get over."
