The question? Why did this relatively low profile case attract our attention this much for this long?? When there are many times more murders in our POTUS hometown of Chicago???
The answer...... People(s) very high up had an agenda other than justice. Zimmerman was race bait. No doubt in my mind. ( I agree with Hook on this, and I don't ever agree with anyone everytime). This incident, tragic as it may seem, is not unusual. But somehow the media (in harmony with the President) made this seem exceptional. And on this exceptionalism, a lot of folks were brainwashed to think that race played a part. It did not.
In this play on peoples brains, some folks sponged it up, and then, could look and listen to media coverage of this tragic incident, maybe just a picture, and call racism.
I for one had much respect for many people on this forum, and still do, but have been very surprised at some of the comments. It seems as we evolve (regress) as a nation, people that were/are considered reasonable make unreasonable assumptions on face value comments, stories, and yes, pictures.
