Very good news - George Zimmerman Not Guilty
From
CNN:
George Zimmerman found not guilty of murder in Trayvon Martin's death
Nearly a year and a half after Trayvon Martin was shot dead in a central Florida neighborhood, a jury found the man who killed him -- George Zimmerman, who argued that he fired in self defense -- not guilty.
The fact that Zimmerman fired the bullet that killed Martin was never in question, but the verdict means the six-person jury had reasonable doubt that the shooting amounted to a criminal act.
And of course, the rent-seeking race warlords are out in force drumming up the animal spirits:
The response from NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous struck a far different tone.
"We are outraged and heartbroken over today's verdict," Jealous said in a statement, vowing to pursue "civil rights charges" in the case. "We stand with Trayvon's family, and we are called to act."
Benjamin is all about promoting his position and nothing else. The NAACP's relevance ended around the 1960's.
Jerry Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy writ large.
