*****Dylan Chambers, son of music icon Lester Chambers, has just posted (6 pm PST on Facebook, Saturday, July 13, 2013:
*****“Dylan Here.... Lester was just assaulted on stage at The Russell City Hayward Blues Festival by a crazed woman after dad dedicated ‘People Get Ready’ to Trayvon Martin. He is on the way to the hospital now.”

*****My prediction about the responses to this: Someone is going to talk about how the attacker isn't representative of all of Zimmerman's supporters or all white people or something like that, even though people here have been acting as though riots over the verdict (which haven't actually happened)are representative of people who thought Zimmerman was guilty or all black people or something like that.
****
**** My prediction is that you are about to justify and rationalize violence and murder ...

***No, that's for the Zimmerman defenders to do.

**Aren't you justifying violence by supporting the one who was breaking the law if he threw the first punch and Zimmerman had not done anything unlawful at that point? As much as you disagree with Zimmerman's actions, was he breaking the law? It doesn't appear that he was whether you agree with his actions or not...

*It wasn't proven that he did throw the first punch or that he wasn't "standing his ground." So, no, I'm not "justifying violence." Now, are you saying that shooting someone to death isn't violence?

Beyond a reasonable doubt...That is the standard, is it not?


Of course, shooting someone to death is violence...Do I support the right to self-defense? Absolutely...



Either the jury believed Zimmerman's actions were justifiable or they were not fully convinced that the prosecution proved that his actions were unjustifiable in a court of law... That they failed to take it beyond a reasonable doubt...
