KC is right, and, the major race issue raisers were the right bitchin' that it wasn't a race issue.
It probably wasn't about race. Xcpt maybe to Jackson and Sharpton, who are both desperate for attention and probably couldn't help themselves if they even realized what they were doing.
The real outrage was about a self appointed tough guy, who went looking for trouble. He found some, which he could have avoided by simply letting the police do their job, as they repeatedly asked him to do.
There was no imminent danger or threat that called for his intervention.
When he found the trouble he went looking for, he found out he couldn't handle it, so he shot an unarmed man. In "self defense", during a fight he went looking for, and couldn't handle.
I don't think The Duke would be impressed. Much.
Georgie, however, got due process. The full ticket. Notified of the charges, a thorough investigation, and a trial with a vigorous defense overseen by a qualified judge and decided by a jury. All of the things our constitution says we are entitled to.
He was acquitted, and legally speaking, rightfully.
So don't start that argument as a deflection.
Trayvon got none of that. Instead, he got shot dead by a scared little man who appointed himself patrolman, investigator, judge, jury, and ultimately executioner. He got shot dead because he dared to stand his ground when faced with harassment by a pussy with a gun, who thought he looked like he might do something bad, and created a confrontation that he wasn't man enough to handle any other way.
Real impressive.
And nothing in common with any of the hundreds or thousands of other senseless acts of violence, apparently every single one of which some dork is going to bring up as "evidence" of some kind of conspiracy or bias or something.
To those dorks, where is your outrage? You don't seem near as upset about the senseless violence itself as you seem eager to make some weird obtuse point that only your fellow outrage seekers are ever going to understand.
