PSA

Well, folks, Zimmerman was found innocent of second degree murder. In your closeted rage and wishes of ill-will towards him, know this about Zimmerman's life after this trial:

For the rest of his life, Zimmerman will have to wonder if the next corner he rounds will be his last - whether it's in prison or on the street. I'm pretty sure the Universe's system of checks and balances will sort this one out for everyone that's as disgusted as I am. Our tax dollars at work, people: folks with marijuana offenses get 3 years, a prison record and not even half a shot at a comfortable life when they get out, child murderers get to move in on your block and watch your kids.

I've never felt less safe in my own country... Well that's a lie - I've never felt safe in this country. The drones and the NSA/Verizon spy service and the tactics employers use get around Obamacare and a workforce made of minimum wage earners has just kind of tipped the scales for me.

Sorry, there will be no poem tomorrow. The bile in my throat has stripped my voice raw.

Monitored, planning a prison break,
A.L.J.
