I feel like we live in a world not unlike of the movie Brazil. A place where logic is all twisted around in a perverse manner like so much mental sausage, and the those not in power get exploited in the worst ways possible. Trayvon Martin was a victim of a racial profiling, and it is so painfully obvious. I don’t care that Zimmerman is hispanic, his words said it all. He is a weak, cowardly and hateful person who should be imprisoned. This should have been an open and shut case, but the jury pool was pulled from the bottom of the gene pool.
Sorry about the typos.
