People have been trying all weekend to engage me in to commenting on the outcome of the Zimmerman trial…..I have resisted as long as I could but the endless prying has brought me to this post.
This will be my one and only statement on the trial of Zimmerman and its verdict.
People let it go! He was tried and found not guilty whether you agree or not that is how the system works here….maybe not as well as some of us would like but it is the rule and now it is over.
The tragedy of a 17 year old being shot for any reason is a horrible thing and very little can be said to defend it to anyone. The sad part is this incident is the price we pay for allowing morons to carry guns legally. The death of a loved one at the hands of self-styled vigilantes will continue and there will be more Trayvons out there….you may not hear much about them but they will be there. And as long as we allow idiots who fancy their manhood in the carrying of a gun we will mourn for our dead.
The people can and should do something about this….it cannot be fixed in a year or maybe even 10…..but it can be fixed. Do what you have to do to fix this outrageous law…….if you cannot do that then learn to live with…..MORONS WITH GUNS!
One last thing….we hear once again about a national conversation on race is needed……it has been needed for 50 years and there has been NO one that has the guts to start it. Until we have this talk and be honest with each other there will ALWAYS Trayvons and Zimmermans…….
Get busy or SHUT UP!
i read this comment on a blog about this trial. i think it’s brilliant. “america is the only place where a dead black teen can be tried for his own murder.” i think that sums it up perfectly.
