I posted this as a comment on another blog, almost exactly 24 hours before the verdict came in.

What a horrible weekend. (Yeah, it’s only Friday night)

Someone I’ve known for forty years came to visit for the weekend, a bond trader in NYC who lives on L.I. He and his wife are the oldest friends I have. They are good people. I learned (years ago) not to talk about politics, our views couldn’t be farther apart. He and his wife came up to MA to buck me up, after losing my wife two years ago I took my aged mother in after her Alzheimer diagnosis and it has been rough.
We had a good afternoon, went and looked at the water, shopped for dinner, stopped at a wine store. At the house, we cooked, drank wine, ate fresh bread and olive oil. Dinner was in stages, everything was good.
Then he made a remark about the Zimmerman trial. I responded, hotly. He started to scream at me. I responded. All together it lasted about three minutes (I guess). He and his wife decided to leave and drive back to Long Island tonight.

I don’t think I’ll ever see either of them ever again.

He’s white, I’m white. I live in a majority white town, he lives in a majority white town. Why should what happened in Florida almost a year and a half ago effect my life so strongly? If there wasn’t a total miscarriage of justice leading to today, why would lightning strike so far from the scene of this incident?

Two men in two different blue states and you have no idea which side I or my former friend are on, do you?

No, I’ll never forget the Zimmerman trial.

I’ll never forget or forgive Obama’s politicizing this criminal case.

I’ll add this case to the indictment against the Media; gross sensationalism, fraudulent video and sound editing, they kept using that goddamn nine year old photo of the dead thug right to the end.

I firmly believe that WAR is coming, it’s the only flame hot enough to burn away the rot.
