In reply to the discussion: Emptywheel: Zimmerman affidavit is shit. [View all]Solomon
(12,310 posts)7. What complete and utter bullshit this post is.
Some people are having a seriously hard time with the fact that Zimmerman is charged with murder based upon the facts. Can a white man be charged with murder of a black man, or must it always be manslaughter because the victim is black?
What don't you get about a boy screaming for help for thirty to forty seconds before being shot that everbody else seems to get? Oh yeah, I know, you believe its Zimmerman crying for help from the big bogeyman. Good luck with that.

It sure seems that way, in a perfect system in which the "good guys" have the best intentions.
