In the state of Florida, if you are not black, you're allowed to shoot an innocent, UNARMED [ed] black kid dead, call it "self-defense" and walk away a free man.
If you are black, you're not even allowed to defend yourself with your fists.
I don't know if someone else can put it more simply than that.
I welcome all challengers.
Remember, there had to be a national outcry for the state of Florida to even BRING CHARGES IN THIS CASE.
Black Floridians beware. "Self-defense" does NOT apply to you.
UPDATE: P.S. - George Zimmerman lived by the principle of vigilantism. I'm not wishing this on him, but he may very well be, one day, the victim of it.
"Reconstruction", my ass.
