We hear you. Kate Steine deserved this for being white.
Of course not but if minorities don't get justice in this country whites don't deserve it either.

Same legal system that didn't convict Zarate of accidentally killing Steinle.Same legal system that a jury didn't convict a cop shooting a man in back on video or not even pressing charges for police choking a man to death or police severing a mans spine while in their custody.
The US justice system indeed allows a murderer to hunt a black teen from his car,get out of his car and continue hunting him when the teen runs away from him and then murder him and claim self defense.
The US justice system is fvcked up.Republicans only think its fvcked up when white people don't get justice though.
George Zimmerman is allowed to walk in his own neighborhood without being beaten.
Martin should be allowed to walk in his neighborhood without being hunted and chased by Zimmerman.
This case should have never been an election issue. Most people never bothered to learn the facts of the case and assumed Lopez was some sort of homocidal maniac. That pressured the prosecution to overreach.
Hunted and chased. Nice fantasy.
We are seeing two unrelated situations play out that perfectly reflect the vast and unbridgeable divisions in our country. One is the Alabama senatorial election. The other is this SF tragedy. People on either side simply cannot fathom the reasoning of people on the other and see it as vindication of their worst assumptions.
It's clear to me that we really do need to think about some way to split the country up. A civilized split is preferable to civil war, which is the likely alternative.
Actually that's reality,that's why Martin wasn't murdered by Zimmerman's car.Zimmerman got out of his car to continue the hunt when Martin ran away from him.
