Ace recommends this essay about the different cultures brought together in the George Zimmerman trial.
And remember that the story you're hearing isn't the real story.
But the case isn't about race either. It's about a struggling middle
class in a precarious economy trying to hang on to what it has. And it's
about a culture of dropouts from the economy who celebrate thuggery and
then pretend to be the victims. It's doubtful that anyone in
Zimmerman's neighborhood who weathered multiple break-ins has much
sympathy for the Martin family. And that's one reason that the
prosecution hasn't found any useful witnesses.
