I hate having to say this to parents of children with black, brown, beige, olive, and gold complexions, but you must have that Talk.

I haven't seen any details of the case on this side of the pond. Presumably he was acquitted because of that law that allows Florida handgun owners to shoot to kill if they believe they are in danger of their lives, and he must have convinced the jury that he felt in danger of his life?

I also saw a story about a black woman who was found guilty and sent to jail for firing warning shots.

If ever a starker contrast was needed.

He was found innocent, because, Threatened by Zimmerman stalking him, the boy confronted him. They ended up in a fight, and to win the fight, Zimmerman shot the boy dead.

[viomisehunt]

He was acquitted because the other witness was dead and the court and persecutors rather than push for the state of mind, past actions, and behavior of the shooter, chose to convict the victim of being a teenage boy with problems, therefore deserving of death in their minds.

I can't imagine it makes anybody feel terribly safe anymore.

May I just say that the discussion between you and & the commenter, Gonzo21, was very informative and the thoughtful; the beginning of the type of conversation we need to start in this country. And, it all started from just one sentence from you. Remarkable!
