(65,528 posts)because it is the only justice Trayvon or his family can hope for now, I also hope Z ends up in prison for the simple reason that if he does not, he will be lionized and enriched by right-wingers, the same way G. Gordon Liddy, Oliver North, Joe the Plumber, Sarah Palin, and other truly awful people have been simply for being so very, very awful.
I don't think I could stomach seeing him asked his opinion on the major issues of the day, starring in NRA ads, giving keynote speeches at RW forums, or otherwise being made much of by those reactionary fools.
It is already pretty bad ($30,000/month pouring into his defense fund?!), but the worship and enrichment of Z is going to explode if he gets acquitted.
It will anyway, of course, but at least if he is in prison he won't be as well placed to exploit the many career opportunities that will come his way.
