That's a pretty astute summary.

As a crazy old white guy, I have to say we're not all bad.

Guns and/or religion ruin everything.
How in the hell do you stalk an unarmed man, shoot him and then claim self defense is beyond me.

Pretty much exactly how I feel internally. It's taken a tremendous amount of personal strength to not act like that since the verdict came out. Maybe I shouldn't fight it.

Yowch.

I have a little more self restraint that this crazy old white dude... but I can't really argue against anything he says.

Note that he's GOING crazy, he ISN'T crazy. Too bad he couldn't have been put in front of the jury right before they went off and tried to deal with the stupid Florida laws and half-baked legal presentations to make their decision.
I'm just glad there was a trial at all...

Going to school, before the Anglo-American intellectual tradition was destroyed, my idea of an old white guy was C. P. Snow.

Ah clarity. Well stated old dude. Liked how he calmed suddenly in the middle and spoke to Travon''s parents.

To begin with, Zimmerman had absolutely no business following that innocent child.

Sad moment in history.
Rest in peace, Trayvon.

Yeah... Call the Cops.....

Because cops don't regularly shoot unarmed young men?

The YouTube auto-captions are completely off. I still don't fully understand what the hell he is saying except in places. But the anger comes through loud and clear.

The gulf between crazy and righteously enraged is miles-wide. Lord knows I've had to change the subject several times this weekend so I didn't lose my shit.

P.S.

Check out the "Whoa" from the cameraman at the end.
