But I have to say, it could have been worse. If George Zimmerman had been shot and killed with his own gun in the struggle, Trayvon Martin would have been arrested and held until trial, sold out by a court appointed attorney, have already been convicted and would be sitting in a prison cell by now. Because even as the victim, we see an overriding assumption of black male criminality at work here. Imagine if it had turned out another way.
Because a disturbed individual was running around with a loaded gun and an itchy trigger finger, Trayvon Martin's fate was sealed either way. I believe that. When I heard Zimmerman say in an interview with Sean Hannity that it was God's will that he shot Trayvon Martin, I thought I was going to be sick. No remorse. Instead, he attributed his own will to God. Now that's delusional.
