Not guilty

It would had been a travesty, had the jury had produced a guilty verdict. As it was predicted the jury found George Zimmerman "Not Guilty". I really feel that while the prosecutors violated the rules of discovery by not sharing all information found in Trayvon Martin's phone records the judge should level up with contempt or some disciplinary action against the State Attorney's office, if she really wants to convey that her court means business and it really ensures the defendant a fair trial. I mean, it is widely known that prosecutors get away with all kinds of violations that usually affects the outcome of a trial and in many cases, wrong convictions have sent inocent people to prison. I just saw, as part of the breaking news of the not guilty verdict in the George Zimmerman's trial and Pierce Morgan interviewed Robert Zimmerman Jr, brother of the now free George, and I feel that this young man very eloquently said some important things that have been on my mind and I'm sure, aldo in the mind of many others, and that is; when is the black community look itself in a mirror and stop crying "unfair", "racists" and other charges whenever a black person is killed or victimized by somebody who is not of the same skin color. I am not racist, but what Robert Zimmerman said is true. There have been murders and homicides by the tenfold in Chicago alone, and we don't see the black leaders of NCAAP or Jesse Jackson, or the Black Panthers calling for justice or calling for vengeance. On the other hand, when the perpetrator is not black (or negro, or african-american, whichever term is more fit or political correct), they call it "profiling" or "racism" and immediately incite the black community to raise hell about it. Why is it that those same leaders don't call George Zimmerman a local hero for helping and mentoring other young black children to succeed in school?
That and other questions should be in the mind of those asking for George Zimmerman's head.
