Unjust


"I think one of the things
that most upsets me here
is the “well that's just the way
the law works” argument
or hearing that the verdict
was in line with the law.

It’s sort of a “that’s the way
the cookie crumbles” response;
it entirely ignores the policy
and justice problems
and implications at play here.
To be clear, like everyone else,

I’m not angry because I think
it’s going to bring Trayvon Martin
back to life. I’m angry because
there’s a justice system that somehow
says that the killing of an unarmed boy
by an armed civilian who defied

police orders and pursued him, got
in a fight, and then killed him when
he was probably losing that fight is ok.
Simply saying that the verdict was appropriate,
given the system, doesn’t make it
any less a travesty of justice. It’s like

saying that the selling of slaves
wasn’t unjust until it was illegal.
A Justice System that allows
this type of verdict is broken,
that’s why people are so angry
because that doesn’t seem to be changing.

Fine, for argument sake, I’ll concede
that this verdict was entirely in line
with the law. It doesn’t make it less wrong.
It was still wrong to sell slaves
before the Justice System decided
to make it illegal. It was still unjust

to deny women equal rights
before the Justice System decided
it wasn’t just anymore. It is still unjust
that this kid was killed, and saying
that the verdict was in line with the law
either ignores that purposefully, or
is only recognizing 1/10th of the problem."

Again with the LIES! Did you Watch the Greta Video of the Re-Enactment, rhb? Did you read the Transcript of George Zimmerman and the Dispatcher, rhb?

It wasn't 'police orders', it was a Dispatcher. And the Dispatcher said to him "WE DON'T NEED YOU TO DO THAT", they DID NOT tell Zimmerman not to 'pursue him'. And I don't quite get what this government hack means by 'killed him when he was probably losing the fight'. Duh, isn't that the best time to kill somebody - when you're losing! What an idiot. I'm not interested in what anybody has to say if they haven't read the Transcript and know all the TRUE Details of What Really Happened. Sick of the Leftist Lies about this case.
