My point....ALL sorts of people do bad things to others. ALL sorts. I just don't see this as meriting the type of coverage it has received because there are so many heinous actions by awful people every day.
Zimmerman should not have been armed in the capacity that he was, so this was wrong. It was poorly handled after the fact. I totally see that. What causes me ire are all of the ones that jumped on this to make it into something that can further
their cause.
Their agenda. News companies edited the tapes they were playing on the NEWS to give it the spin they desired to present. This is irresponsible journalism.
People in high positions were making vocerifous statements that had no purpose other than to whip up and incite. Black Panthers put out a million dollar bounty on the head of Zimmerman. No charges there either. Irresponsible leadership.
This is all so wrong in so many ways. It is the condition of humans. No matter the race, no matter the circumstance..... to have watched it all evolve has caused me great sadness. And so.... my heart is with the parents on both sides. I sorrow for them.
