Saturday night’s main event.
Bars and restaurants filled with patrons undoubtedly are now suddenly embroiled in Saturday night conversations about George Zimmerman, Tweeting their thoughts, and lamenting the justice system if they disagree..
There will be outrage and rage.. some will be happy that the justice system, for all purposes, seemed to work. Work in the sense where a jury finds a defendant not guilty because the prosecution substantially failed in proving the case of Zimmerman murdering Trayvon Martin in cold blood… one night in Florida months ago.
Tonight, when a jury of six women, five mothers, found Zimmerman not guilty, the justice system was exposed…It’s flawed and often wrong.. sloppy and long.. Legal briefs are abundant.. nights are late.. And the battles are more than skin deep.
When Casey Anthony was found not guilty, so many felt a world of horror for her daughter who had no justice… And now tonight, many feel the same for Trayvon Martin..
Trends are trending on Twitter tonight. Facebook is alive and well with passionate opinions.. Bloggers are opining .. in person, many are rambling.
This trial intrigued the nation.
And whenever a trial does that, it causes so much division.
Maybe it’s time, as a nation, we come to grips with the fact that we are needlessly divided by race.
When it comes down to it, what really divides us?
Are we divided by race?
The class system?
Religious differences?
money..?
Money.
It somehow goes back to money.
And money will be the issue now, as the civil litigation against George Zimmerman will begin. Most likely immediately.
OJ was found not guilty last century. But the civil lawsuits got him—even before he got himself by getting caught robbing his own trophies…
The George Zimmerman trial has played out, and now the outcome will play out..
It wasn’t 12 angry men, but instead 6 something women. Maybe if the jurors express their thoughts, we’ll find out if they were angry or happy with their decision..
