Here in this court of law today we will examine the defendant Mr. George Zimmerman and his involvement in the murder of Trayvon Martin. Mr. Zimmerman I do hope that your mental state is ok after surviving that traumatic encounter with Trayvon Martin; not just any man can shoot an unarmed fleeing teenager who looked mildly suspicious. It takes a man of valor, a true enforcer of lady justice, to hold the position of neighborhood watch in the twin lakes retreat gated community. Being a man of such prowess it makes sense that you would be able to disregard all norms and rules our society has in place and valiantly take the law into your own hand. I regard your “work” with true fondness you remind me of a vigilante in Britain back during the industrial

While it is true that a dead person provides very little resistance to the forces of the law I can’t help but think that this level of force may have been somewhat excessive, but as I mentioned this was the only way Mr.Manney could have subdued Mr.Hamilton. I can’t continue to conclude how cantankerous cops such as Mr.Manney take justice and human lives into their own hands believing themselves to be gods superior to those around them so I digress.

Just because racism is no longer overtly viewed as a common part of our society doesn’t mean it isn’t present in some way or another. Similar to a venomous serpent hidden in the grass beneath our feet the roots of racism continue to impact our society today, just because we may not be aware of this problem doesn’t mean that it isn’t a danger to us and our morales. This serpent continues to be revealed as these cases continue to flood into our courts of white violence against unarmed black “criminals” our society has long classified African Americans as animals or brutes. It’s assumed that these individuals have nothing in mind except for the destruction of our white sanctuary in the U.S. I believe this culture of discrimination is still very prevalent today it is hard to see your privilege and advantages in society when you have always been at the
