>> their faith in the US justice system has been restored

There are two justice systems in question: Florida’s and US.

Florida’s “justice system” is a politically motivated train wreck. At risk of mixing metaphors, the fact that Z was acquitted means the cable of justice, while terribly frayed, is still hanging together by one thin strand. Didn’t give me any faith in that system, but I am thankful for that one working strand and hopeful that this will be a “wake up” call to clean up the train wreck and rebuild the cable.

The US system is different. We don’t know yet if it will “work”. So far the mechanical pieces seem to have worked okay (FBI found no sign of racism) while the political prime movers seem just as screwed up as ever (Holder ominously warning of continued “investigation”).

My prayer is that in spite of the evil within the DOJ, the real “cops” will refuse to gin up a reason to retry Z. In any case, the only new evidence would tend to exonerate Z; a federal show trial would be Holder skating on thin ice. Not that that would necessarily stop him, but I think it will.

>> Btw who is “the right”.

Good catch.

chessplayer is solidly in the camp of those who want Zimmerman punished. Recall his posts on the main Z threads.

The Left should be careful what they wish for. A DOJ civil rights indictment would unleash hell

Oh yeah? What would this be based on?

Yes dear I get that, but why are you separating yourself from “the right” in your comment?

BO’s transformation of America will end up with only thought crimes being punishable. And, as we all know, minorities are excluded from suspicion. Property crimes by minority perpetrators will then be seen as simply hurrying up BO’s redistribution plans.

Oh; then you must mean those of us who believe that the Constitution Of The United States is the supreme law of the land.
Those of us who do not find emanations or penumbras or our personal desires and wants incorporated with in it.
You must mean those of us who believe in evidentiary law and the application there of, rather than our own personal, emotional wants and desires.
You must mean those of us who believe in our GOD GIVEN RIGHTS, rather than those government approved privileges to protect ourselves from barbarian thugs and criminals.
I am sure that is THE RIGHT you are referring to.
