more.
FINALLY!

Ironically, unless you’re racists you have every reason to assume that justice has been had.
A gated community is designed to keep strangers out. That’s what they’re for. And they are marketed to people who don’t want strangers in their community. And, quite frankly, Treyvon Martin was a stranger. He wasn’t a trespasser, he had every right to be there, but he was a stranger within a community designed & built to keep strangers out. And if in your mind the over zealous “Neighborhood Watch Captain” in such a gated community can’t follow & confront a stranger unless he’s overtly racists, YOU are the racists. You are.
This doesn’t mean what Zimmerman did was okay, or even that the laws should not be changed. But it does mean that you want a lynching. You got justice and you didn’t like what that meant, so now you want to lynch this guy.
Don’t deny it. Change their skin color. Make them both white, or both black. Heck just swap them. Suddenly all your arguments are gone. They no longer exists. Everything you’re saying is predicated on racism, your racism. Oh, sure, you’re attributing it to the police, you’re attributing it to Zimmerman and you even attributed it to all who dare not join the mob, but it’s your racism.
Stop it.
