WOW! NY Daily News unbelievably powerful front page following the Zimmerman verdict

47. I have empathy, but why not bring up the Holocaust, or My Lai?

Both have as much to do with the Trayvon case as did the cases cited. Both involved the killing of what we Americans considers "Minorities" and none have anything to do with what is behind the killing of Trayvon.

I am trying to put this case in prospective, and one way NOT to do this is to bring in cases NOT ON POINT. The cases cites were all white on black murders, but under different circumstances as apart from each other as My Lai and the Holocaust. Do we go after Racists? Go after the KKK? the Nazis" Lieutenant Calley? Stronger Gun Control law would have affected Trayvon's killing, but not the Holocaust, or My Lai (And the killings of the three cited Civil Rights victims, gun control would not have affected for the Murders had connections with the Police, and in the case of the two NYC killings, the Murders did not use any guns).

Adoption of a "Retreat to the Wall" doctrine may have prevented Trayvon's killing for his killer would be guilty of murder simply because he did not retreat. In the cited cases, all of the victims were clearly murder even if the State had a retreat to the wall doctrine, so again not a good comparison.

Sorry, all of these names, except for being African Americans and murder victims, have nothing in common with Trayvon and his death. That is the point I was trying to make, these are bad comparisons to the situation with Trayvon.
