"White supremacy acquitted Zimmerman"

And there you have it. Zimmerman was found innocent in a court of law despite some strong indication to the contrary, so any suggestion otherwise is asking for a return to lynching; but you are happy to say Martin wasn’t innocent, since he’s already been executed. And then you can wonder why anyone would think there’s a double standard.

For the record, the media has done anything but spin this in one direction. Zimmerman has a lot of apologists out there, with all sorts of clever spin like putting “kid” in scare quotes to cover the fact that a minor was shot.
