Anyway - Fair & objective is never a prerequisite for media coverage of any event with perceived racial components...now or in the past.
The prosecution in conjunction with political interference butchered the entire event and earned the judgement.

My biggest problem is that people want a pound of flesh from Zimmerman. He was tried and acquitted by his peers just as our judicial system is meant to work. We don't have to agree, but we sure need to accept the jury's decision. In this country we love, not every decision is decided in the way we agree. We just need to take some of the warts along with the beauty."Looks like I picked a bad day to give up sniffing glue.

i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.

In what way is this a wart on the system? This is the textbook way the judicial system should work. The evidence showed this was a killing in self defense not a murder. Just because the media convicted him and the usual suspects pushing their agenda convicted him doesn't mean he "got off". He got off because it was a self defense killing.
The same people calling this the worst thing to happen in the history of things had parties and cheered up and down when OJ was acquitted. Bunch of hypocrites. It's only justice if "their" guy gets away with it.
