26. We want a trial. That's all we want

Pressure will continue to be brought to bear until it happens. This cannot stand. Zimmerman cannot walk away without being arrested and facing trial.

The cops didn't do their jobs and failed to arrest him. The police work was sloppy, corrupt and obstructed justice IMO. Now it's up to citizens and media folks to make sure the trial happens.

Don't like it? Tough.
