Trayvon Martin Killing

I want to pray to God that he gives the parents the grace to deal with this but I honestly don't know if I even can believe God is real when he allows such tragedies and blatant racism to just go unpunished.

Just truly heartbreaking

Can't hold God responsible for the murder of a young man. Free will is still running rampant and this case is a prime example of that!

I'm not holding him responsible but its just infuriating. I like to think that he would act to counterbalance this evil....

Exactly. If it had been the other way around Trayvon would have been heading to prison. From slavery to this day, African Americans, especially African American men who are viewed as dangerous and violent, can be killed with impunity. The exception being Barack Obama.

I will add that I NEVER believed for a second that Zimmerman was going to be found guilty, not even for a second. I knew the time he was in jail waiting for bail would be it.

I'd like to add George Stinney Jr. to that list as well.

Someone told me they should have charged Zimmerman with something other than manslaughter because manslaughter wouldn't stick. This person said they should have charged him with something less but would still put him in jail. Not sure what that could have been. I have not read up on this and kept up with this like I should have.

Patton Oswalt on Twitter says it all.

"Dear George Zimmerman: may I suggest you use Gene Hackman's escape strategy from the end of THE BIRDCAGE?"

The reaction to this verdict makes me shake my head. There are some truly hard hearted people out there. I don't understand how anyone can celebrate. At the very least a young man is dead, whatever the circumstances (I have to admit, I didn't follow the exact facts of the case). Then to add all the ugliness that surrounds this case. It's just a sad, sad day.
