I hope this isn't over the PPB line, but I wondered what folks think about what is happening down in Sanford and around the country. If the allegations are true, its an unthinkable tragedy and Zimmerman deserves everything and then some.

However, we more than anyone else, know that a rush to judgment (especially in a racially motivated episode) can be dangerous. There are some facts starting to emerge that, if true, would rewrite the story that has been fed to the public to date. I am particularly discouraged at the rhetoric from the likes of Al Sharpton (I think it was him). I saw him claim that the version of the story where Zimmerman was attacked by Martin and slammed to the ground was a lie. It may very well be, but I am not sure Sharpton has access to those facts.

Just wanted to see if anyone else has thoughts on the case one way or the other.
