in our youth the courts were not as slanted as they are now; but if you came from the wrong side of the tracks the justice system worked the same! If you got pulled over for speeding for an example the poor kid got the ticket the rich kid got the warning! the latest example I can think of is the cutting down of the town xmas tree! the 3 kids involved fathers owned businesses in town they got civic duty they had to water the new tree planted for like 2years! two kids keyed a crusier they had to pay for the paint job did 30 days in reform school and 2 years probation!
I don't think our justice department is perfect, nor do I think all are treated equally! as far as this "Zimmerman " trail I think it was a media circus! And it was obvious he pursued the kid!
I think he should have his gun permit revoked for life! I fear similar circumstances will happen in the future.
