(297,160 posts)It's unfathomably sad right now what happened with the Jury acquitting zimmerman. But, we'll get through this and I really do think something better will come from this other than "not guilty" .. because he sure as shit was guilty.
We will be helping to get your snake gov, rick scott, out of the gov's chair. Count on it.

I am so sorry that you have to be down there tonight. It must be disheartening.
