Like the verdict or not, and we have ALL REHASHED our opinions 1000 times (not trying to do that again).
I have heard the TM Lawyers talk about how they respectfully disagree with the verdict but respect it. TM Parents have been nothing short of the epitome of class during this whole ordeal and I def feel for their loss (regardless of how or who you blame the loss of a child is devastating to a parent).
But, I watched this panel last night on AC360 and it was absolutely disgusting. Theres this notion going around how basically ONLY black people can now dispense justice for a black murder victim
You have people in the MAINSTREAM MEDIA saying that the jury couldnt possibly identify with TM , a black youth, and they got this wrong on all counts, and its scary how dangerous the verdict is for black teens and parents. They want civil rights investigations, Jesse Jackson wants the UN to investigate LOL
I walked by a protest this weekend in Centennial Park where I live. People had their 6-7 year old kids screaming at traffic "JUSTICE FOR TRAYVON" which I thought was a little over the top. Kids dont even know what Justice means really. PLus you are opening them up to potential confrontation.
Anyways my point is , wasnt JUSTICE served?
GZ was arrested, charged, and acquitted by a JURY of his peers in accordance with our laws. The prosecution and defense both attempted to fill the jury as they saw fit.
What I take away from this is that the African American population (being portrayed in the news) would only be satisfied with an outcome THEY wanted, regardless of what anyone else thinks. They also think now, that since the verdict isnt what they wanted, that ONLY a jury of BLACKS can decide if a BLACK PERSON was given justice or not.
ISNT THAT THE VERY DEFINITION OF RACE AND SEGREGATION THAT THEY FOUGHT AGAINST FOR 100s OF YEARS?
