re: #49 Killgore Trout

Sad but true. As shitty as this is (if it does indeed end up being a false prosecution) the settlement will be cheaper than the potential damage and loss of life from riots. If this is the case then Zimmerman is entitled to whatever the court awards him.

I think Zim should have been arrested immediately (even with all we know I think there are very good grounds for that). The slowness with the arrest is what caused the initial scandal. If the state decided not to charge him afterwards, there still might have been trouble, but not as big as after weeks of waiting, when the appearance of racial injustice was created.
