Saturday’s verdict, while bringing an end to the case of the State of Florida v. George M. Zimmerman, will not bring an end to those discussions. George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin, but under of Florida law and by decision of a jury of his peers, he did not murder Martin, he shot him in self-defense. Both George Zimmerman and the Martin family received their day in court. The Martin family, while expressing understandable disappointment in the outcome, has accepted the verdict. White people are afraid of a black man in the dark, even when he’s not doing anything wrong.
