Not too obvious, is it.

Maybe.

There were prior and more recent stories that are far more sinister and straight forward racially motivated that the MSM and the Race Baiters turned a blind eye to. So one must wonder why Trayvon Martin, why George Zimmerman and why Florida.

The Police didn't just let him go, they took Zimmerman in for questioning and then let me go. Which happens everyday, and in some cases the individual/suspect is taken back into custody as evidence develops.

There seemed to be a lot of emphasis on the 'Stand Your Ground Law' that Bush signed in Florida which is a swing State.

And the Trayvon Martin shooting had a foothold on the news cycle for several weeks.

He's already got the black vote. He used to have the "white" Hispanic vote...

So much for the pesky 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th Amendments.

What is right is right. The legislature passes laws. The police investigate possible legal violations. The district attorney brings charges, if probable cause is found. The judge or jury decide innocence, or guilt. The prison system incarcerates those convicted and sentenced. Not popular opinion, not the media, not groups of people who are "riled up." Justice.
