I saw a right winger on FB saying that people had no right to comment because nobody was there or witnessed what happened. In the next sentence, he said that Martin was beating Zimmerman to a pulp and went for his gun lol. Total moron.

That's a big "yup"....

As for the gun uber enthusiasts, do they not know that the more lame excuses they throw out the more they reinforce the "gun nut" stereotype???

In the very first cell, the white guy is pondering on WHY the police even arrested Zimmerman in the first place.

To have "due process," one must be entered into the legal system, i.e. arrested, charged with a crime and a court date scheduled.

The fact that Zimmerman wasn't charged for so long meant that it was Trayvon who was not receiving "due process."

What the cartoon is suggesting is that Zimmerman apologists didn't want due process at all. They wanted the killing of an unarmed, black teenager by an armed, white/Hispanic adult swept under the rug...

...and they want a White Entertainment Channel.
