I don't about any of you but I'm getting sick and tired of hearing this name. People rioting, screaming and marching. Is any of that going to bring Trayvon back to life? The justice system has acquitted George Zimmerman. Like it or not, he's been proven innocent.

Question:

Are you sick of hearing about this too?

 
Sick of it, and the reaction.

I mean, really, this is how you "serve justice"?

People protesting George Zimmerman's acquittal marched along Crenshaw Boulevard on Monday night, stomping on cars, chasing bystanders and storming a Wal-Mart.

Baltimore police say they are investigating a witness account that a group of black youths beat a Hispanic man near Patterson Park Sunday while saying, "This is for Trayvon."

U.S. reacts to Zimmerman verdict
Trayvon Martin supporters rally in Times Square while blocking traffic after marching from a rally for Martin in Union Square in Manhattan, July 14, 2013.

Thousands of demonstrators from across the country protested a jury's decision to clear neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

They say a picture says a thousands words. Take a look at this picture gallery here.

What are your thoughts about these pictures?
 
Apparently someone hasn't heard of the saying " Two wrongs don't make a right". Perhaps someone should clue them in on that little tidbit before they embarrass themselves further.

I like the irony though. People raging about racism while others commit acts of racism all in a response to the same thing. Some call for the end to violence while others perpetuate it. Perhaps if they all look in a mirror then they realize that none of them have any room to talk. That no one is better then anyone else and the only path to justice is by the combined efforts of all and not either side on their own.

There is plenty of murders that occur every day in this country so why does this one get all the attention? Where do the rest get their "justice"?

Congratulations, you are now a "hater" for just asking such questions.

Do I get a medal or ribbon for this achievement? If I am going to earn something then I should at least get something to remember it. :P
