Trayvon

I've been traveling for awhile, and I now find I'm compelled to comment on the most horrific, tragic, and disgusting nightmare of a case in my adult lifetime.  George Zimmerman stalked Trayvon Martin, provoked him into an encounter and killed him and wasn't even arrested until there was a massive public outcry.  Trayvon was executed for walking while black.  The horrid case of Dan White murdering George Moscone and Harvey Milk and getting away with it while being convicted of manslaughter comes to mind, but at least he was convicted of something.  The Trayvon Martin case is an indictment of our so-called system of justice.  It exposes in the most acute way how much racism, profiling, fright and anger exist in our society, deeply in our society, even now in 2013. I think George Zimmerman wanted to kill him and provoked the encounter so he could do it, and he's been judged innocent, completely innocent.
