Guy was supposedly moved for his protection, but can't stay out of the news. I don't even think he realizes how he hurt that family, especially with how smug he was all through the trial. I would probably feel the same way if it were my son or even daughter.

At an associated link I found this video of Tray buying the drink and skittles before being murdered by GZ:



Just a kid with candy and pop, about to be ambushed and murdered.

Since they wouldn't lock him up, I just want him damaged enough that he can't do it to any more kids walking home from the store.

Miscarriage of justice is so tragic. When the legal system fails to provide justice people may then decide to take matters into their own hands.
I too am impressed with the Martin family's dignity and grace. They have been marvelous in the face of such a let down from the legal system.

When the out come is unfair everyone remains unsettled.

Zimmerman has an unpaid debt to society. If he were a real man he would have told the truth and allowed himself to be punished under the law, paid his debt, and had a clear conscience. Other than that he's likely a sociopath and has no conscience, but he could have had his conscience cleared. He has to live with himself for eternity. He'll burn in Hell with his shitty karma. Punk.

But before he burns in Hell he will be tormented by fear, anxiety, panic, and paranoia. Hope it was worth never having an unfettered day for the rest of your life.

Hope you love your chains, bitch. You can never be free another day in your stinking, wretched life.
