***Good. Did you object to the civil case against OJ Simpson?

** A convincing argument would need to be made that Zimmerman's actions would have been drastically altered had the person acting suspiciously not been black...

**
** For the verdict to be an ethical one, that is... It could be a statement verdict as we've seen in the past however...

**And if Eric Holder's involved, the ethics factor is torperdoed from the get-go...

*Now, you're simply wrong that "A convincing argument would need to be made that Zimmerman's actions would have been drastically altered had the person acting suspiciously not been black." That's not the standard. The question is whether Martin's civil rights were violated, not whether or not Zimmerman is a racist. OJ lost his case, but that wasn't based on whether or not his victims would have been treated differently if they were white.
*
*One thing that might hurt Zimmerman is that he would have to prove that Martin was "acting suspiciously" to a degree that his actions were reasonable. He can't simply make the assertion.

If you're unfamiliar with the criteria set forth by the Shepard-Byrd Hate Crimes Prevention Act Of 2009, you should take a look at it.. There is a standard which has to be met involving clear-cut evidence of ill will or malice toward the victim because of race. creed, nationality, religion... Where is the evidence that Zimmerman would have acted any differently had the suspicious person not been black?
Disagreeing with a jury's verdict is not nearly enough....Followup Messages:
