Seriously, what does Hillary want out of this? Does she want George Zimmerman's severed head marched around Sanford, Florida on a pike? At this point, what difference does her opinion make?
I sometimes wonder if I push a little bit too hard on "the left" in making my points. Then they do something that reminds me why I'm completely justified.
It was irresponsible for President Obama to taint the case by saying "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon." Now in the aftermath, some national political figures are trying to fan the flames of racial unrest as high as they can go. Meanwhile, Drudge has been reporting ongoing incidents of crime or theatrics by people purportedly seeking "JustUs For Trayvon."

At least President Obama has issued a statement saying he "accepts" the verdict, but that's very weak brew for a President who inserted himself before the trial even occurred.
And of course, we have these posts in this very thread:

He stalked and killed an unarmed minor. Seems vaguely fair to me that society will succeed where the justice system has failed.

Who said I was hoping for vigilante action. Him living out his days in fear is a perfectly satisfactory outcome.
You, Hillary Clinton, and every other person who wants to keep fanning the flames of hatred - who are perfectly fine with a man (and his family, as indicated above) living in fear the rest of his (their) life for the crime of "hostile and violent
following" as nastyjungle put it, are everything that is wrong with every corrupt government on earth.
Seriously, you want a man condemned to a life of fear for "hostile and violent following." Can you tell me how someone
violently follows someone? You're not just a mob, you're an illiterate mob. This is why I read your posts and can't take any of you seriously.
If you're not even going to read posts because you know they are going to challenge your viewpoint, potentially in a snarky way that offends your delicate sensibilities, don't post in a discussion forum. If you do post, don't ever accuse someone else of being close-minded. This is partially directed at The Diverman because, seriously, acknowledging you are answering a post you haven't read is either literally indicating you're about to strawman, or you're just including the line when it has no relevance to your post.
This case was over Saturday night. Zimmerman and his family should be able to go about their business in peace. Martin and his family should be able to grieve and mourn their son and move on. But that isn't good enough for the professional left. It's not enough that Zimmerman was tried and acquitted by a jury of his peers. Instead, the Peruvian son of a mixed-race couple and their family needs to live the rest of their lives in fear so that leftist politicians and academics can rail against white racism and get elected.
Truly disgusting, banana republic stuff.
