I mean what's to say? I'm glad we have jury trials and a kid who had done nothing wrong was gunned down for no good reason. I don't know what the alternative to this kind of justice is. I wasn't in the jurors seats, I don't know the facts that were raised at trial and I don't envy them for the duty that has been imposed upon them. I know that being a parent has changed how I perceive these kinds of things. I would have been more outraged before I had a child, now that I have one it's just a lot more sad. Sorrow has taken part of my outrage. I just got off shift from an event that was about 95% black patrons, Trayvon was on everyones minds. Beyond the outrage and disgust was a fear for their own kids, it seems well merited.
