Editorial.....Maybe now Justice can take place in the Trayvon Martin Case! George Zimmerman Arrested for 2nd Degree Murder.

As a country over the course of a month and a half many of us have argued back and forth about the shooting that took place in Sanford Florida on February 26th that left a 17 year old child dead and a Neighborhood watch volunteer hiding for his life. We have heard the shooter say his life has been placed in limbo in the aftermath of events and that he was only acting in self defense on that night when he took Trayvon Martin's life. Much of the established public evidence differs quite differently than his and others explanations. The undertow of the whole event has exposed the dark undercurrent of just how far certain groups of people in this country continue to support Racism. Trayvon had every right to be in that neighborhood that night he was staying at a parents house who lives there. Trayvon had every right to wear his hoody over his head, it was raining which could also explain Zimmerman's so called injury's, he could have slipped on the wet grass chasing a scared kid running from someone he did not know. The audible screams recorded from the cell phone call that night will more than likely turn out to be Trayvon's, and the Fact that a 911 dispatcher told Zimmerman not to get out of his car he did anyway and pursued an innocent kid. The rules of a neighborhood watch person clearly state they are not to carry a gun, let alone use it. These are some of the facts we know and yet neanderthals everywhere in this country continued to support Zimmerman's actions. Zimmerman may yet be acquitted in a trial for all we know, but the other facts that have grown from this whole ordeal are as glaring to all of us as the lack of evidence collecting by the Sanford Police Department at the crime scene. The glee that some even here at current have posted, and the utter stupidity of those said right wingers is more evidence of the deep seeded racism that has raised it's ugly head even higher since the election of our nations first Black President. For those of you I just spoke of, you are very sick in the head, you have stymied growth in this country for far too long, you need to move to the darkest corner of this planet away from civilized people's.

    • I have to say that it's a saving grace that Zimmerman has been arrested and is now due to face what is sure to be a highly publicly visible trial. Over the ensuing months, all available evidence will be rehashed, scrutinized, examined, rescrutinized, reexamined and rehashed again in order to establish the facts of the case down to the tiniest minutiae. We no longer need the proverbial court of public opinion to try and convict him and establish his motives because we have an actual court of law, subject to the exacting scientific standards of burden of proof in order to do that for us.

      It's terrible what happened to Trayvon Martin, and it's disgusting that certain people are vocal about blaming Trayvon Martin for what happened to him, but now is the time for us to withhold judgement on Zimmerman, now the defendant, as that duty has been placed into the hands of the professionals--our system of trial by jury, possibly the crowning achievement of our civilization.

      It will be a very educating few months for those of us who choose to follow the proceedings, and hopefully in the end, Trayvon Martin will get his justice, and Zimmerman will get his as well.

    • Racism never died in this country as the real socialists,(the Reptilican Party) have no respect for our president and their brain washed, brain dead followers have no minds of their own to know what is right or what is really wrong. Don't get upset Kenny.That is how the Brain Washed, Brain Dead win.

    • I think that this whole case couldn't have come at a better time, not saying that Trayvon needed to get murdered for people to wake up, but this is a historic opportunity to demonstrate to people that racism is alive and dangerous, and educate people about how to put an end to it once and for all.
