>>We may not agree what happened or about the result of the Zimmerman case, but like the juror who was interviewed said, you look at the evidence and apply the law as it is written and this is the result. Now the logic and chain of events, and what could have been or should have been done is entirely a differently matter. It could have been so easy for things to have turned out differently with no one hurt.

I think that the big elephant that nobody wants to talk about, or is talking about, is why there is the need of a person assaulting another person, punching them in the face and slamming their head on the pavement? If Trayvon would have just walked home, he would still be here today and they racism criers would have to find something else.
