"Fine. Six is a long way from 20 to 30." Six is enough, don't you think?

you have the soft bigotry of low expectations when it comes to blacks. Trayvon beating zimmerman's head against the concrete 6 times is ok and to be ignore because of some past acts committed against blacks and because of that blacks aren't responsible for their acts

>> Fine. Six is a long way from 20 to 30. I think the jury could plainly see that Z wasn't counting. He didn't know how many times he had been hit, it felt like 25 or 30 to him. You are also conflating the slamming of his head on the pavement vs. the punches. A person can easily be punched 25 or 30 times without any visible sign of injury at all or with minor bruises and, in this case, a broken nose. Was it six or 30? Probably somewhere in between. It is neither here nor there. The only people who had a say in the verdict made their determination. It is clear it was not a case of nullification as in the OJ trial. The prosecution just didn't have any evidence. And in spite of the lying, cheating, and a judge who was clearly siding with the prosecution, they couldn't secure a conviction. Whether or not it was a righteous outcome, under our legal system it is what it is; you have prove conclusively someone committed murder before they can be convicted of it. The conclusive proof simply wasn't there.
