One, I need to link it for Number23. Two, I started this thread because after Trayvon's trial - it became crystal clear who/what was "controlling" the conversation at DU. This is a spot to say these things.

And yes it's disgusting how that court room was handled. My boss called me into his office yesterday and we shut the door and watched Dunn's testimony. My boss - an almost 60 year old white man who grew up in the NYC area kept saying, "this is utter bullshit!". But we had discussed this case after Trayvon did not get justice and he was sickened by that verdict and pointed out - if those windows had been tinted - it could have been one of his sons . . . Who blast rap music in their car. He cares because "the gunners and bigots are out of control."

If that group of jurors - who during jury selection had a few tee hees about the clean up after gun violence vs other forms of murder have bought his "key words" then he will walk. He's not even using SYG - he had to convince them that his uh - er - 'method' of handling the conflict HE STARTED was justifiable. Sick.

I'll say this though - the people of The Republic of Key West - they are worth visiting if you ever get the chance. I'm convinced we will never hear of this stupidity in their little slice of Florida.
