Her bottom line is that going forward with a prosecution would be a waste of resources because, based on what little she's heard/read of the story in the news, <i>she</i> wouldn't find Zimmerman guilty.

So she can argue that a man who chased down and shot a innocent black teen should go free. How can you ignore the circumstances and say that because of institutional racism the case shouldn't be tried? <br /><br />There are two connected things here--never rock the boat of power, lest the powerful lose some of their bennies, and just accept racism becuase that's the way it is. It's all about power to her, her power as a white woman, who trades <i>others'</i> autonomy for the perks of power.Susan of Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076915322771385454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-81755842061199032872012-03-22T09:17:15.167-05:002012-03-22T09:17:15.167-05:00That is an AMAZING Megan comment at juliansanchez....That is an AMAZING Megan comment at juliansanchez.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-25520616707358965642012-03-21T18:18:36.432-05:002012-03-21T18:18:36.432-05:00Just wanted to make sure you saw McArdle's tho...Just wanted to make sure you saw McArdle's thoughts on the Trayvon Martin murder:<br /><br />http://www.juliansanchez.com/2012/03/21/fearing-for-your-life/#comment-18665<br /><br />I'm not sure why, because there are no words to describe them other than synonyms of "monstrous".Bennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-75856949584883935322012-03-20T13:42:25.380-05:002012-03-20T13:42:25.380-05:00Sorry Susan, I completely missed your note about c...Sorry Susan, I completely missed your note about coming down with the flu.
