Reactions From The Blogosphere:
I can’t get over this after 16 hrs a jury of 6 women found him not guilty
Sometimes you can run but you can’t hide
Was there even one bla/ck person on that ju/ry?
Verdict was not a surprise
It will be interesting to see if Trayvon’s parents accept the verdict, like they said they would, or if they go on a publicity tour with Al Sharpton.
Perhaps now maybe we can focus some moral and emotional energy on the nation’s preeminent crime problem: black-on-black violence. Enough already of this anomalous left-wing theater…. Enough.
