I feel literally sick to my stomach, like I've been punched.

You can't tell me that if the roles were reversed, if a black man killed an unarmed white 17 year old, the result wouldn't be different.

Disheartened and disgusted.

I can't believe a jury just condoned vigilantism.

they totally did exactly that. zimmerman was INSTRUCTED BY POLICE not to pursue. guess no one's ever going to listen to that sort of instruction now, ever.

Apparently stand your ground laws don't apply to African-American women in Florida http://www.wtsp.com/news/article/324906/19/Fla-mom-gets-20-years-for-firing-warning-shots

I find the comparison nauseating. This woman didn't kill anyone and gets 20 years while Zimmerman kills and walks free. Lady Justice must be weeping.

something is very, very wrong in Florida.
