I wasn't actually present for the confrontation that ended Trayvon's life, but I have to say that from my perspective doesn't the verdict seem to be an injustice?
If George Zimmerman was driving drunk and killed Trayvon with his car, that would be a definite jail sentence. Why are we so afraid to prosecute a vigilante gun death?
You all know how much I hate the use of guns. Now George is free and again allowed to use his gun. Doesn't this scare people? He overreacted in the past and now he gets a second chance to over react.
This case is really about the unnecessary death of an unarmed teenager. The right side of this country supported Zimmerman and used the case to reinforce their stand your ground laws and further the divide on the race issue.
Is there anyone in out there that is on the right that can see this through the eyes of a parent that no longer has a teenage son? No one deserves to die no matter how they are acting or what they are wearing. I don't believe that George Zimmerman killed Trayvon on purpose, I do feel that he probably feels really bad about what happened- but isn't that what the manslaughter sentence is all about?
