It is a very strange time in the USA.

The hubris with the defense attorneys is unbelievable. They have successfully diminished the profiling of a young man and his subsequent death into some idea it was self defense. The jury didn't keep the actions of Mr. Zimmerman into context. They put themselves into Zimmerman's shoes and didn't want to admit no matter how self-righteous the act that brought the death of Mr. Martin, it would not be allowed to happen if they were George Zimmerman.

The defense attorney separated the predatory actions of Zimmerman from the death of Mr. Martin. They made the act of killing into an imagined outcome by someone terrified and defending himself from a teenage bothering no one. That is imagineering.

I expected a different demeanor from the defense team. They are very wrong about their attitudes. Mr. Zimmerman is not innocent. They may have gotten a not guilty verdict, but, Mr. Zimmerman is far from innocent in his actions. 

No one willingly enters into a patrolling of an innocent person without intent. Mr. Zimmerman never witnessed any wrong doing by Mr. Martin. Mr. Martin was profiled. There is injustice here. 

The State of Florida had a responsibility to carry out this investigation and trial. This outcome is bizarre. It exonerated a man that profiled a young man and saw his death. What? That innocent young man, teenager was scared and sought to defend himself and that turned into his death without guilt? What has happened to the laws of Florida and the USA? 

When does the death of an innocent person lose it's value? Oops. The gun wins? This is for real in the USA? Dear god what has happened here? I don't recognize my country anymore.
