Am I the only one shocked at how many DUers still don't "get it?"

I am one of those who believes the jury got it right. I also think it was tragic. I believe one of the things that has contributed to the division as of late has been the 2nd amendment arguments this past year or so. I think that many at du never really expected that there are so many gun toting, gun loving democrats out there (oddly enough I am NOT one of them).

I have been a follower since the beginning, and the thing I have noticed over time is the militant far left types have practically taken over here. Seems anyone to the right of Marx is an (insert derogatory hurtful adjective here).

When it came to the Martin case, I believe that many people heard gated community and assumed white people. I don't know why, but I can't seem to get my head around why people assume minorities don't live in gated communities too? In case you didn't know it, minorities make up 30% of the community where Zimmerman lived. Zimmerman had black people from the community testify on his behalf. Zimmerman is a democrat. That stuff doesn't make him innocent but I believe many have never been able to take an objective look at the case and were forced to take sides in a carefully crafted made for tv media event.

Tragic shit happens every day. Life sucks, and then you die. I mentioned in a post yesterday a 16 year old kid was gunned down Monday here in Columbus, not one mention anywhere, kinda like he never even existed. I will never know why Travon Martin was so much more important than he.

Of course racism is alive and well out there, if you feel like you haven't had your daily dose of piss me the fuck off, spend a few moments visiting the rants and raves section of the Columbus Craig's list. It really gives an indication of how far we haven't come. Imagine going out and canvassing for Obama in that cesspool, it was very eye opening.

The part that sickens me the most about the trial is that I came down on the same side of a case as the scum of the earth. The funny thing is, (well not funny at all), the odd thing is. Those racist scum bags would never accept Zimmerman into their little group in a million years. He was just a useful tool. It is still a very fucking ugly place out there and only time will solve it. Eventually they will die off and over time common sense will prevail. Until then we should all beware, and be aware.

Have a good day.
