Scary post up at FR: "We are all George Zimmermann." (Not satire.)

For those who can stomach the insanity (and bad web setup):

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2872623/posts

For those who would rather not to, some excerpts:

"We aspire to behave the way that George Zimmerman did, to contribute to our communities, to defy the conventional wisdom and speak out when we see wrongdoing. We believe that all that is needed for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing. And we are only a misstep away from being George Zimmerman, from doing the wrong thing, from intervening in the wrong fight, drawing the wrong cartoon or saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, a heartbeat away from appearing at the bar of the kangaroo court of stage managed public opinion.

In our own way we are all George Zimmerman. We think that society should be moral and rational, and that people should do the right thing. But that's not what it is. It's an insane braying donkey's laugh as the thieves, large and small, rob the people blind and then muscle them into a lynch mob to go after some handy victim. It's George today, it will be someone else tomorrow. Maybe someone who even deserves it. But it won't be the people destroying the country, because they're the ones leading the mob."

Even scarier are some of the comments:

You got that right Sam,
If you are on the jury and vote innocent, good luck living without being hounded, in fear forever by the race huslters.

George should have used his time getting some serious tanning and let his beard get a Pancho Villa look.

An untrained dope with a gun who follows a “suspiscous” person is just asking for trouble
I'm willing to bet both Zimmerman and I have more firearms and deadly-force defense training than you.

It's suspicious to be a black youth wandering around in the rain. There, I said it. Black youths KILL. It's a fact. Zimmerman was right to call it in.
