Villager: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
Tevye: Very good. That way the whole world will be blind and toothless.
Even if killing Zimmerman brought back Trayvon it wouldn't be the right thing to do. I feel deeply for his Trayvon's family and what they must be going through, what they need right now is justice and for Zimmerman to be locked up for a long time. Sadly they can't even get that.

As Jon Stewart said, what better way to stop vigilantes than with a vigilante lynch mob?

Meanwhile, another person has gunned downed another person somewhere in America.
While it is a tragedy, it is nothing new, and it certainly won't be the last unarmed teen to be gunned down. The mainstream media is race baiting and blowing this story up.

If race was a factor in this, then it should be discussed a lot. Hiding from racism doesn't get rid of racism. "Stop talking about racism to get rid of racism" is the idea of fools, and the media should not subscribe to it. We need to confront issues like that.
The problem with what the media is doing is that they've made conclusions without knowing everything. It's the exact same thing that happened with the Duke lacrosse case, and look how that turned out.

I never believed that the issue was just about Zimmerman shooting the kid, it had more to with the failure of the system. For me, at least. Even if the mainstream media is painting the wrong picture, there coverage can lead people to look more into the issue and question how wrong the police were and their failures, and all that.
