Regarding the Zimmerman Trial and Murder of Trayvon
12 years ago
The nation is angry. It's bitterness is dwelling deep inside it's heart. People seem to think they can remain neutral, but there is a point to this tragic tale in America's history.
The system is broken.
We all know that no system is perfect. However, that is a sad excuse to allow the same mistakes to happen again and again. The people progress ever so liberally as their populations grow, their minds become more educated, their morals become ever so defined. So, in the cities, as people are increasingly exposed to more diverse customs, cultures, behaviors, (and countless others different in ways they know, more alike than they could dream), trials and tribulations will continue to teach the people what we really know about ourselves as a society: our systems and flaws. Moving from generalities to specificalities, we see that our laws are behind the progress our people have been making. We seek justice in terms compatible with our new-found moralities. We seek it, but we still do not take action.
Florida. Protector of the "Stand Your Ground" Law. It is a law designed by a historically racist, uneducated people and their elected officials to defend would-be victims of criminal abuse. It is a deterrent. A preventative measure which vindicates a society entrenched in protection of their right to carry and use weapons. The society of the State of Florida rests easy in the comfort of owning the ability to shoot anyone they deem to be hazardous to their personal safety if they see fit. That is what the Stand Your Ground law protects. The firm idea that you are justified in our legal system if you maintain the sanctity of rules of behavior written by a people long forgotten by the progress made in other parts of the nation. The Florida law is behind the progress, the progress made in our morality, our nation's healing spirituality (terrorized by 9/11), and new laws more progressive populations have made in other states. That much is certain.
George Zimmerman walks a free man. A free man that is capable of murder. There was apparently enough reasonable doubt by a jury of six, who thought that a murderer did not murder for the sake of murder, but thought that he should be protected by the law for enacting his own self-defense. These are the facts. This is not the Truth.
The truth is that if you take away the bullshit. Take away ALL the bullshit. Florida's hilariously backwards laws, the race card, the guns, hoodie, the wanna be cop, the character, the labels (suspect), the little cultural things. Take that shit all away. Look at the picture.
Person 1, guarding hir territory calls the paid for law enforcement officials. A police dispatcher warns hir to stay in hir safe spot (car), to not approach Person 2. Person 1 ignores these warnings and approaches the Person 2. It doesn't matter what xe was seeking or thinking. Person 2, according to Person 1's "physical evidence" was on the verge of defeating Person 1.
That could have been it. Person 1 could've gotten beaten up for making xir's decisions through no one's fault but xir's own.
But we know Zimmerman, an obese, cowardly, disgusting, putrid, vile, trigger-happy, fair-skinned, untrustworthy faced, piece of shit, criminal murderer can walk a free man, despite being the initial aggressor, and loser in a fight in the dark against a child.
RIP Trayvon Martin. He deserved a better world and a better outcome than what Florida could offer him. Blame is appropriately placed on the Prosecution for not doing a good enough job at proving their point, but at the same time, our systems do not enact Justice as well as they should for allowing a murderer to walk free.
Our systems must constantly be improved. Our world is constantly changing. It is up to us to make a better and better world for future generations. We cannot allow for this to happen again.

Come on dude, maybe he didn't deserve to get shot THERE. But don't look away from the obvious.
Was it a matter of racial profiling? Don't know. What I do know is that there are much worse crimes being committed every day that don't even get half of the media coverage this Trayvon deal got.
Zimmerman's is/was a wannabe cop, and trayvon was a wannabe thug who was at the wrong place at the wrong time. People be treating him like an angel XD
Also, the whole "If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon."
Bias, much?
Also, I heard that most of the people in the court room were on their phones during the trial. Just throwing that out there.
