"It is sad that so many define "Justice" as finding Zimmerman guilty in spite of the facts. This lynch_mob mentality is a sad commentary on our society.

No Bruce, Justice is finding Zimmerman guilty BASED on the facts:

1. That Trayvon Martin was accosted by a man in civilian clothes, whose first words were "What are you doing here", a classic opening for a vigilante, a mugger, or just a n****r hating cracker.

I would not assume that his attentions were friendly, would you?

2. This stranger (by his own account of events), without further conversation, reaches for a pocket.

He says he went for his phone. Who was he calling? He had already called the police, and been advised to let them do their job. However, that move toward the pocket would have scared the shit out of me, so I don't suppose that Martin would be any less afraid that it would be a knife or a gun about to appear.

Now you have the conditions for a reaction based upon a genuine fear of bodily harm or death. A classic situation of self defence by Tayvon Martin.

If you cannot, or will not, see that this fulfils the legal conditions for the boy to pre-empt the expected attack under the State of Florida's own laws, then you are wilfully blind to the civil rights of black Americans.

And so are the law enforcement authorities of that institutionally racist state.

A disgrace to 21st Century America.

Tell me where you think my facts or conclusions are in error Bruce!
