Thread Name: BS: George Zimmerman to be Charged (Trayvon Martin
Subject: RE: BS: Zimmerman to be Charged
Two days ago, someone broke into a bunch of cars in our development (not gated, but with restricted access) and stole GPSs(mine too). The damage to cars was much greater than the value of the stolen goods. I am a bleeding heart liberal, so I wasn't angry, but a few of my neighbors were, and it was easy imagine some of them "Going Zimmerman".

On the other hand, many years ago, I was one of three teenagers in a car that broke down on a back road about 100 yards from a small house. The guy in the house ran out and started shooting at us because he thought we were some other kids who had drinking parties at the end of the road on Saturday nights. No one was hurt, but the sheriff wouldn't do anything--they guy who shot at us was a deputy.

So you can take sides if you want, but don't kid yourselves, One kid is dead, another one's life is ruined. It's already too late for "justice".
