No apparently you are just going to lynch George Zimmerman, so that makes it ok. Seriously people have gotten off on actual cold blooded murder and people weren't this upset. Where were the lynch mobs when OJ got off for butchering his wife, or heck even Casey Anthony for killing her toddler? But no the half white guy kills the black teenager in a fight and that's worse than all that. The, yes very tragic death, of a black teenager who was beating up the guy who shot him at the time is so much more worthy of our concern than the death of a little girl who didn't even get a chance at life, and two adults who were butchered. But wait those cases were white on white and black on black crime so they can't nearly be as important right? Because whenever the races of the people involved aren't the same then it's a race issue and that trumps all, oh wait that's not quite correct it's only a race issue if the white person is the aggressor.
This was NOT an issue of race. The actual event was NOT an issue of race, the media made it into one. It's like that Fox interview that's floating around right now of that idiot woman asking the guy who has a PHD in religious studies and happens to be Muslim, why he would right a book on Jesus. Never mind that his wife is Christian, and oh yeah Jesus doesn't just belong to the Christians, or that to get his degree he had to do intense studies on the historical facts of Jesus. Nope because he happens to be Muslim, not only must his book have an agenda but he shouldn't even be able to write about Jesus at all. Once again the media creating an issue where there is none. That's not a religious issue, and this case wasn't a race one until someone else decided it was.
And before I get attacked I'd like to reiterate that I was very surprised he got off. I truly expected him to be convicted of manslaughter, because whether he was getting beat up or not I do believe his actions directly contributed to the start of the aggression, no matter who threw the first punch. But obviously the prosecution didn't do their job, because just like with Casey Anthony they let the media and public opinion make their case, instead of focusing on the charge that was actually more probable, they went for the one impossible to prove.
