I'm definitely one of the people who is "just reacting to the idea of a white guy killing a black guy."
More specifically, I'm one of the people "just reacting" to the idea that an armed adult shot and killed an unarmed kid.
Even more specifically, I'm one of the people "just reacting" to the idea that an armed adult was stalking an unarmed kid and was told by the 911 operators to stop it just before he shot and killed said unarmed kid.
Personally, I would like to see George Zimmerman now get the sort of KKK justice he so easily dispensed. Of course, I'm "just reacting."
Personally, I would like to see George Zimmerman get a fair trial — an odd ritual that we sometimes have in this country but rarely when tabloid-style interest reaches the level where Nancy Grace is weighing in on a case. On the other hand, I have to admit that if the matter hadn't become such media fodder, Zimmerman might never have been arrested at all. I will agree with you that it doesn't look good for Zimmerman but I also don't trust the press reports of what exactly happened.
If he gets that fair trial and it yields the outcome that he's guilty of second-degree murder then I'd like to see him receive the prescribed punishment for second-degree murder. I'm not sure what that would be in this matter but I'll bet it isn't "KKK justice."
I'm not one of those folks who believes The System always works but I figure it can't work if we don't try.
