So...for killing an unarmed black young man, George Zimmerman is going to be a hero, hoisted high in republican circles as an All-American exemplar of (white) justice, and make more money than those of us who have played by the rules and busted our butts for years at our jobs (not to mention not killing an unarmed human being in the process) can only dream of.
I'd like to say that there once 'twas a time when a man such as this would have been rightfully sent to prison, or at the very least, sent home to live a life of shame, but it isn't so. But I think it sounds legions about the current republican party, where murder deserves the death penalty, unless of course, the skin of the victim is black and the skin of the murderer is white.
In which case it is reason to celebrate and pay homage to the murderer.
How fucked up is that?
Peace,
