This is what it leads to, people.

Remember, the important thing about justice is that it must be seen to be done. Guilt and innocence do not matter.
Young man with bag of Skittles in his pocket shot by an older man? What is important is NOT what happened. What is important is that the media whip up a frenzy, that outraged citizens DEMAND JUSTICE, and that someone, ANYONE, be made to pay.
This is not white versus black, poor versus rich, or anything else. This is populist media-led feeding frenzy, and too many people have lost their common sense and joined in the braying like jackasses. What if someone had burned down those people's house? Or attacked them physically? What kind of jerks get sucked up into this hoodie-wearing solidarity crap?
Some of you should be ashamed. Unfortunately, the ones who should be most ashamed, don't get it and are incapable of getting it.

(NewsCore) - An elderly Florida couple have been forced to move into a hotel after their home address was wrongly tweeted as belonging to George Zimmerman, the man who shot teen Trayvon Martin.
The couple, aged 70 and 72, have been harassed with hate mail, been hassled by media and had scared neighbors questioning them since the tweet, their son Chip Humble told the Orlando Sentinel.
Fearful for their safety, and hoping to escape the spotlight, the couple have temporarily moved to a hotel.
The tweets were traced back to a man in California and William Zimmerman pleaded with him to stop.
The man responded, "Black power all day. No justice, no peace" along with an obscenity.
The original tweet containing the address was also reportedly retweeted by director Spike Lee to his almost 250,000 followers.
