When A Killer Is Set Free Is It "Old South Justice"? (George Zimmerman Trial)
You've probably come across this already in whatever daily news you choose to read. So, I don't feel the need to post a link here. This case will go down in our nation's history. What it will go down as will vary by the person. Me? I think justice was shot and killed with this verdict, just like Trayvon.

Edit: I've been told I need to write more about my opinion, and so I guess maybe I picked the wrong topic to do a post on because really, right now I am just shocked. I do not have the fluidity of thought right now because I truly am just shocked. I'm not sure if this qualifies as an opinion, but that is my current state at the moment. I just can't... I really can't. A boy is dead and his killer gets to go free. It's not like they just bumped into each other and got in a fight. He was stalked and preyed upon, and his killer gets to go free. I'm sorry, but I just can't.
To the mods: I'm sorry if this isn't good enough and I wasted time in posting, but this is all I can do right now.

"A jury's acquittal of George Zimmerman in the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin sparked waves of disappointment, from some of the nation's best-known civil rights leaders to the streets outside a Sanford, Fla., courthouse.
A clearly shaken NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous said, "This is a heartbreaking moment. This will confirm for many that the only problem with the New South is it occupies the same time and space as the old South.""
Post your thoughts, as I know there are many.
