Rev. Al's having a bad day. The Zimmerman trial isn't going his way.

If Zimmerman gets off, it won't be the first time white guys in Florida
committed racially motivated murder against a black kid and got away
with it. It has happened hundreds of times. They used to lynch the kids.
Now they just tail them through a housing development, start a fight and
shoot them.

I don't know if that's true or not. But my layman opinions a

Zimmerman shouldn't be carrying a gun. He thinks he's a cop or has a
cop complex. He shouldn't have engaged Martin. He should have just
called 911 if he thought any suspicious activity was going on. It
would be a different story if he were ambushed or jumped by Martin.
However, based on the testimony to date, he was not in violation of the
stand your ground statute, IMO. In the court system, that's all that
matters.



It's a typical gun-nut state law. Zimmerman started an altercation with
a black teen-ager who was doing nothing illegal, and when Zimmerman lost
control of his temper (what did he say, that "they always get away with
it" or something like that), he escalated and then ended it by shooting
the kid. He was "standing his ground" in someone else's face and using
his pistol to bail himself out of it. And Florida's stand your ground
law lets him do it.

Grfeat story Harry, but it won't sell.
