That’s bullshit and you (should) know it; everything from Zimmerman’s choice of who to pursue, accost, and shoot dead to the Sanford PD response from the moment of the shooting stinks to high heaven. Race was there from the beginning, sad, angry, and frustrated as it makes me and should make you; if one can’t see that reality, I can’t do anything for them.

President Obama was making a personal comment, seeing as he IS black and all, and I thought it was spot on. As much as I’d like Zimmerman to go to trial, the fucked-up SYG law and the actions of the Sanford PD may get him off, so I hope the Martin family also takes everything he’s got and will have in a civil trial.

Obama injected race into this. A president should not be commenting on pending prosecutions. From what I understand, Zimmerman stalked and killed that young man regardless of his motivation.
