[Vision2020] And so it goes . . .

[Paul Rumelhart]

The media has made this into a full-blown racial-hatred-fueled genuine 
Media Circus (tm) for their own immediate gain.  When it comes down to 
it, there was no evidence to the contrary against Zimmerman's claims 
that he was at risk of his life when he pulled his gun and shot Martin 
in the chest.  Yes, I know, conveniently for Zimmerman.  But that's what 
it comes down to.

I'm amazed at how much hatred there is for Zimmerman.  They both did 
stupid things: Zimmerman for following him, Martin for attacking him.  
Either one could have avoided this confrontation. But at the end of the 
day, the jury had to have no reasonable doubt that Zimmerman acted with 
a "depraved mind" and showed "no regard for human life".  Since 
self-defense is a defense against second degree murder in Florida, then 
their inability to rule it out without reasonable doubt meant that they 
pretty much had to acquit him.  I say that making no judgments on either 
Zimmerman's actions or Martin's.

You know who I would like to see go to jail?  The person at NBC that 
edited the 9-1-1 tape to make it look more like it was racial profiling 
by Zimmerman.  Read more about that here:

I wish people would stop letting the media get away with this crap.
