I want to speak to the broader issue at hand and not dust this matter off and sweep it under the rug. No Sir, I am asking that we as a
society look inward and recognize the hypocrisy of this case. We stand for
democracy, freedom and equality and yet a young black man did not have the
right to walk to the store without the presumption of guilt. Regardless of what
was the motivating factors for Mr. Zimmerman to ignore police instruction and
stand down, the decision resulted in death. A young man died that was at
the beginning of his life. Someone who was not given the opportunity to have
children, marry or just live. My heart goes out to the family of this young man.
If it had been my child, I would be devastated at this point. I pray for them
and all of us. I pray that we all learn the true meaning of democracy, freedom
and equality for all of our citizens black, white, red, yellow and brown. I
pray we all recognize this as a right for all individuals and we realize it within
each of our souls not just something that is truncated and excused by a jury's
decision.
This should be an act of contrition.
Peace Diana
