Anyone else been following the Trayvon Martin murder? What a fucking travesty that is. I can't believe Florida's laws make it likely this guy is going to walk.

Time out -- again, I don't know the specific facts. I thought he was an affiliated security officer for a gated community. If he's just a paranoid vigilante that patrols the streets, it's probably a depraved indifference murder (and it might be that regardless).
The racist part, though? Where does that come from? Did he make admissions like that? Or is it just an assumption because he shot a black kid in a hoodie. Because I have to say that I don't find that to be per se racist, just really unfortunate. Legally, you can't just infer racism. It's an element you'd have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. -------------------- Batman uses women for sex and tactical advantages.

No one really knows if Zimmerman was racist or just shot because he felt like it. Probably impossible to prove a hate crime and I am fine with that because we just don't know. I just want justice for the kid and his family. -------------------- Fenway Park, in Boston, is a lyric little bandbox of a ballpark. Everything is painted green and seems in curiously sharp focus, like the inside of an old-fashioned peeping-type Easter egg. It was built in 1912 and rebuilt in 1934, and offers, as do most Boston artifacts, a compromise between Man's Euclidean determinations and Nature's beguiling irregularities. - John Updike |
