BEATING A DEAD HORSE. I consider myself a man of reasoning and law. I understand that reasoning and law often times do not run together. And that when reasoning and the law reaches a perfect perpendicular that reasoning must rule. A recent case that has been decided as breaching that of racism and I do not concur. A trail was demand and a trail was given. The jurors were instructed on the law and came to a decision that the prosecutor had not met the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The Question is what is reasonable doubt: That which 12 people will be presented with and come to a unanimous decision on the finding. Do you realize the odds of l12 people coming to a unanimous decision on. It would be the same odds as 12 people coming to a decision to play the same lottery number and they hit. As ridiculously as it may seem Blacks do not really believe that the verdict rendered in the Zimmerman case was races because to do so we would have to believe that the O.J. Simpson case and verdict was racist. Similar case with similar results. We can not contribute every event to racism. Some has to be considered to law. And this is where this case went to hell. Mr. Zimmerman should never have been charged with the death of Mr. Martin. The State should have been charged. The State should have been charged with passing a law that engendered the public welfare. If the case would have been lost at the local level then it should have been appealed to the next level on behalf of Mr. Martin and his family. The law must be challenged as unconstitutional and held as recklessly endangering the public welfare, of not just Black Folks, but the Public. I am hoping that this law will be challenged. That the NAACP, Civil Liberties Union and others will challenge it. They have the funding. But I doubt that it will be challenged because many see this law as protecting them from violent offenders in public places. Unlike the right to protect oneself, one does not have to establish mitigating circumstances, just pull the trigger and state that I was in fear of my life, imminent fear. One does not have to show an insanity defense or any of the other circumstances that would justify a charge of murder. So it was in this case. Mr. Zimmerman was not on trail. The law as it is written put Mr. Martin on trail. We the Black community efforts are being applied to Zimmerman; well that ship has sailed. What is going on in Florida with a Boycott is admirable, but it is not raising funds to challenge the law. It is solely dependent upon threat and coercion no Government of these United States of America will submit to either. Need ed a break.
