Fair game.

I spoke with my sister today. She, like me, is very much afraid that George Zimmerman will be acquitted, that he will have fooled the jury just as he has fooled so many others. There is no question in my mind or hers or millions of others that Zimmerman is a thug and racist who stalked an innocent boy on a rainy night and shot him through the heart. There's no excuse for what he did. Even if Trayvon punched him on confrontation, which I doubt, there's still no excuse. This neanderthal had the opportunity to walk away, to ignore a situation that was in no way threatening, to let this kid go home to his father and his brother. But in his arrogance and his fantasies of being a law enforcer, he pursued him, confronted him and killed him. Now for some reason all the news stations that are covering this trial seem to feel that this murderer, for some bizarre reason, can logically be acquitted of this heinous and unmotivated crime, that of course if Trayvon acted in any way aggressive or uppity at being stopped for no reason by a bald phantom in the rain, then of course Trayvon was at fault and responsible for his own death. This is madness. If Zimmerman is acquitted the only satisfaction I can take is that his life is in far greater danger on the street than in prison.
