vigilantes
zimmerman isn't even a vigilante. he's maybe a wanna-be vigilante. i can empathize with vigilantes. spiderman is a vigilante. he goes around beating up bad guys (and here's the important part) who are in the process of committing crimes. he's a wanna be vigilante. which is the shittiest part of the verdict. what was the jury thinking? i haven't heard yet. i guess i'll have to wait for the books. which is fucked up. he's clearly guilty of something. just not what he was charged with. and now he can't be charged with a lesser crime. even if it's appropriate. sigh. the rumor is, he's afraid of real vigilantes. heh. if not, he should be.
