I’ve been thinking of writing about the Treyvon Martin tragedy. Then I realized that no one cares what I say.
No one cares because everyone has already made up his mind. This is exactly what many accuse George Zimmerman of – of being judge, jury, and executioner of Martin. It reveals the level of mistrust that still exists in America, and how everyone’s prejudices are brought out without those that harbor them even realizing. It’s a huge wound that has once again been ripped open.
I may one day write more about this sad incident but for now I choose to remain unswayed by the emotion raging on all sides. I want to see the facts first – to get as close to the truth as I can – before I make up my mind.
That’s supposed to be how justice in America works.
