No one wins in Trayvon Martin Case

This is a lose lose proposition

If we as a country cannot improve the tone of racial discourse, we will continue to scream at one another every time a perceived injustice takes place. The Trayvon Martin is the latest saga where battle lines have been drawn in bold black and white strokes, even though Zimmerman has been labeled a "white hispanic," whatever that designation means. Through all of the bantering back and forth, we forget there is the judicial system that should be allowed to work through and process a difficult legal decision. Some people sit nervously by and await the verdict, others have already made up their mind on Zimmerman's guilt or innocence. Still others have threatened to riot if the decision doesn't go in their favor. Spending equal time in the #justicefortrayvon chat room and justiceforzimmerman chat room, I found they appeared to align along racial lines for the most part. I don't understand why this case has been elevated to the level of creating such racial animosity. For what reason? When will we able to move on and pull together as a nation to face our problems together, instead of the continued bickering and strife that creates division and separates us. I fear for the worst and hope that no one riots, if Zimmerman is found non-guilty. Whatever happens, we must allow the judicial system to function without the court of public opinion unduly influencing the outcome of the case. If that happens, another travesty will have taken place. Our legal system does not follow the Code of Hammurabi, as we do not subscribe to the practice of an eye for an eye. Like it or not, George Zimmerman deserves his day in court and an impartial, uninfluenced jury to weigh the evidence and render a judgement and verdict. Anything short of that will be considered a sad day for the American legal system.
