Putting it together was kind of an epic struggle, or at least a long one, but the hammock is together and I am posting from it right now, AIFG!

I am seeing a report on fb that there is a verdict.

Zimmerman is not guilty. I'm sickened.

Oh, crap, really? I suppose I should go read about it.
Meanwhile I'm going to focus on the pleasantness of hammocks. Well done, Lee.

Because books.
Something is really wrong with this country. On so many levels, I can't even keep track anymore. What the fuck, humanity?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am not at all surprised.

I'm not at all surprised either as the prosecution couldn't call the one witness who could have cleared it up because he was dead. Beyond a reasonable doubt is a pretty high bar.
Also, defense only had to prove that Zimmerman was concerned for his own safety.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
these past couple of weeks have been utter BULLSHIT. This verdict is the cherry on the sundae. Really.
BULLSHIT.

I'm like Kat. I've been on a jury where we were all pretty confident some version of what was alleged went down, but it was so muddled. There was reasonable doubt, even if in our guts, we felt there had been an assault, no one gave us enough to be certain. We largely wanted to convict all of the court, including lawyers, of stupidity, but that wasn't one of our options.
The big problem is stand your ground and how the local cops so fucked everything up at the beginning. Well,no, the BIG problem is that being black makes you a suspect just by existing.
