You should go back and read what I wrote. Almost everyone who didn't jump to the innocence of Zimmerman, including the Martin family, asked for an arrest and trial. That is all. Immediately the fake racist images of Martin as a thug, went viral. The decades old boogeymen African American strawmen were rediscovered and went viral too, as did the vitriolic attacks on Al Sharpton and even President Obama. Nobody suggested here or in civil media, that Zimmerman shouldn't receive the due process the rights he took away from Trayvon Martin, whether Zimmerman is convicted or not -- Martin does not get a single day in court. Clearly the unarmed Trayvon Martin would have made a case for "Stand Your Ground" had he survived the vigilante's gun. He won't get that opportunity; there is only Zimmerman's word. Including "these assholes always get away" -- a clear case of profiling that advanced the decision to charge Zimmerman; which even you can't deny.
