The most frustrating thing about this is the media still won't stray from the script. When it's discussed on news panel shows, and podcasts, etc. even people that are in favor of the verdict seem to be afraid to call the race baiters out when they say things like "What am I supposed to tell my children?? That it is open season to shoot black children for no reason? That they don't belong in society and can be hunted?" Bitch, you tell them not to assault people. Plain and simple. IF Zimmerman was out of bounds in his suspicion, you explain to him what you were doing, kill him with kindness and make him feel like the racist dick that is (in that hypothetical). I don't understand why that's so hard to see.
The New Orleans case, I don't believe got much attention outside of our local news. But even in that case, people continue that narrative of the white man hunting down black kids for no reason. The police report that there was no intention to break in and his life was not in danger. That's fucking asinine. The kid was in his fenced in yard at 2am. Was he just enjoying the view? Him and his buddy are on surveillance video casing the place all evening. Have we lost our goddamn minds? This guy was locked up, posted $100,000 bond, and was suspended without pay from his job, and on top of all that, labeled as a racist child murderer for protecting his home from burglary, and reasonable to assume his and his family's lives? What do you tell your children? Not to fucking break into people's homes. Problem solved. He'd still be alive today.
