David CookReally, no one was acquitted. No one set free. Not George Zimmerman, and certainly not the rest of us.
To be acquitted implies innocence. But somewhere on the register of Zimmerman’s soul is a midnight act that killed a teenage boy named Trayvon.
Was it legal? Was is justified? These aren’t the questions.
The question is: Will this ever come to pass?
Will there ever come a day when we as Americans make peace with one another?
