Who Deserves A Flog Today?

I'm joining the country in expressing outrage over the shooting of Trayvon Martin by a Florida gated community hot shot racist wannabe-cop "Neighborhood Watch" guy - George Zimmerman - who decided to ignore the directive of the local police to stop following the 17 year-old through the neighborhood and chose, instead, to shoot the kid - dead - and then call it "self defense" when the kid was simply walking back to a home he was visiting and was carrying a bag of Skittles. I have absolutely no desire to wait for the supposed "facts" of this case because if nothing changes, then no one in authority seems willing to question the word of the "guard." Plus, too many elements (such as many 911 calls), along with the information the public has been given regarding George Zimmerman's attitude toward seeing a young African American person walking through what must be a really nice neighborhood where, gasp, one usually doesn't see Black People of any shape or age sauntering through the hallowed acreage, points directly to racism and lies on the part of Zimmerman. In addition, the non-arrest of the man by the Sanford, Florida, police is beyond belief. No charges have been brought against the shooter, as the local police think he's such a great guy and everything. I mean, you know, he has a "clean record" (except for assaulting a police officer in 2005), and surely must have had a valid reason to shoot an unarmed kid who may or may not have mouthed-off to him when first confronted with Zimmerman's Suspicious Racist Eyes. What's up with the Sanford police department? A pox on them, I say!

*A correction has been made in the flog. Zimmerman was/is not an official "Security Guard."
