What world Am I living in?

Martin was the one being followed, he was the one with reason to be scared, he was the killed and attacked, not the other way aroud. 

If we are to believe the presented evidence (which by no means is sufficient to tell the whole picture, probabilistically) Trayvon Martin was the initiator of aggression. Being followed is not an act of aggression. By law, that provides Zimmerman (and not Travyon) with the policy of self-defence. It seems to me as if the jury followed the right procedure entailed by the Rule of Law. Whether or not Zimmerman going free is something to cherish is a different matter entirely. However; the legal system working as it should is certainly something to cherish. Rule of Law  (by rationality) > Aribtrary Law (delineated by emotions.) 

What evidence ?

The only thing I know is :

Trayvon was actually trying to run away, Zimmerman was asked to wait for the cops, Travon was near his father's house and Zimmerman was actually back to his car. 

No one knows who confronted whom, but I know Zimmerman had no issue following the kid.

Zimmerman was hardly scared because he knew he had a gun. 

Which is not enough to put somebody in prison for murder. Zimmerman isn't in prison now because the prosecution couldn't pull together a sound enough case for his incarceration. That is the Rule of Law. I'd personally would take 99 bad guys go free if 1 innocent guy is not sent to prison. State aggression is serious, and you have to be certain before you send somebody to prison for a grevious crime like murder. Hencely, juries are unanimous in their decisions in regards to murder cases. This jury unanimously decided that there was more evidence provided for ZImmerman's self-defence case than otherwise. That is a good thing considering the evidence (or lack thereof.) 

Zimmerman being in jail would not bring Mrtin back. I frankly don't know how he can live with himself after he had to shoot some he should have never been involved with to begin with. Martin was not a killer, a thief, he was a teenager going to see his father. 

I care about the life that is lost for nothing more than what he looked like and it kills me inside.
