The Boston Herald is a conservative newsprint. I would not expect this level of concern for the victim after a jury verdict. As I stated before, people know instinctively when a death is wrong.
The laws of Florida provided safe harbor for this verdict of vigilantism accompanied by racial dynamics. If Zimmerman cannot be held for federal violations, then the State of Florida should.
This death is just wrong. It just is.

Washington - A young man is dead. (click here) A jury has rendered a verdict of not guilty on the killer, and under our laws that is the final word.
That should be the end of the story. But, it cannot.
If Trayvon Martin were not black, this would not have happened George Zimmerman would not have seen him as a suspect. And because Zimmerman was in Florida, he was easily armed, and shielded by the state's "Stand Your Ground" law. Those facts led to tragedy....
