Do you know what the most bitter thing is about this verdict.

I actually got to know a little bit about this young man.

But for the last 58 years it is just a blur of names and faces.

I remember the first one, it was 1972 and I wrote a letter that made it to the front page of the college newspaper about a teenager who was shot dead by a policeman after he was approached leaving a house that had been robbed when no one was home.

Since then it has been a stream of faces that is now just a blur, and I don't remember any of their names.

It will happen again and again.

At least this time I learned about his family and his life.

I thought this time there would be justice.

2. This breaks my heart, grant.

5. This will continue so long as instruments of murder

are allowed for everyone to own.

To me, this trial has never been about race. So long as you allow anyone to own an instrument that kills over 30,000 people in the US every year, you accept outrageous outcomes like Trayvon's death.

Trayvon would be alive at college right now if guns had been banned.

over, grant.

7. Hi Grant, I thought justice will prevail

and when I saw that the jurors were asking about manslaughter, I thought for sure that Zimmerman would get charged for manslaughter and get at least 10 years in prison. Could not believe that the jurors found him not guilty.

Just goes to show that black people are expendable even when they are trying their best to live a good life in effing America. I am so angry right now about the 'not guilty' verdict!
