I am pretty sure we will have organized riots after too. And vandalism and blood shed, although all they do is cause more distress to all, solve nothing and build hatred.
I decided that a long time based on my beliefs and my common sense.
Jumping to conclusions is what we seniors do well, and some with more concern and common sense and fairness than others. If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, than it isn't an elephant. Except now because of political correctness, we aren't allowed to call it a duck.

You are spot on with this post, and despite the sarcastic mean spirited response you get, you nailed it and it makes some uncomfortable. You do not deserve that kind of sarcasm and venom in reply to your opinion.
This has been decided by folks IN ADVANCE, because it was a political SHOW from the beginning.
If you read the law and what the police were required to do in cases like this, and what they were trying to do......THEN, the politicians took over from them. If you read the daily history of the case the police were trying to do their job then got ambushed. Just imagine the meetings that have now been made public that were held in the Mayors office with the family of Martin and his lawyer, with no police presence nor any charges yet filed and an invstigation still in progress !!!!
Once the national media made it left versus right, it was all over for JUSTICE There would be none.
The sarcasm you received in your response showed the naive and either lack of knowledge or refusal to accept the knowledge of the key players in this game. Mr Sharpton has made a living with cases such as this.....and he has already implied, threatened or whatever words you want to use about this consequences of a verdict that he does not like. He plays on racial divide, and will always do so.
Do not allow that kind of response to deter you...you are correct as to what this case is about, and the reason you feel the sides were chosen BEFORE facts, is because you are correct......it has become a political football and all the talk of justice and facts is a waste of time.
Now I have to stop as I was warned about saying this so often.....instead of really looking at what we have been
manipulated into this case, we stick our heads in the sand as if we were not involved in a political discussion.
Had the politicians stayed out of this and allowed the police to do what they are paid to do, we might have had a logical and sane conclusion. That opportunity is past.
