Not all is lost with the world. I was fully expecting George Zimmerman to be convicted regardless of the evidence, and he was not. I live in Florida so this is important to me.
Zimmerman is not entirely without blame, since he should not have gotten out of his car, but all the evidence shows that not only was he not guilty as charged, but harbored no racial antipathies – he took a black girl as his date to his senior prom in high school, and he participated in a mentoring program for black kids, which he continued to do after the program was officially discontinued.
A tragedy, all the way around. But critics of the verdict should be reminded that the.choice they are making is for mob rule, and black folks in particular should remember what that means – lynching.
