I've read several news articles, commentaries in internet forum posts about the death of Trayvon Martin who was shot by George Zimmerman. One of the things I've noticed that has been sorely lacking has been patience at finding the truth. I've read one side and then the other claiming that the latest bit of information released shows their side is right. We still don't know and may never know all of the details. There are two sides to what happened that night and one of them is dead. The only person able to tell the entire story may or may not be telling the truth.
One thing that we do have is a lot of people pumping the public full of emotion and one sided stories. Al Sharpton is threatening to escalate the protests unless Zimmerman is arrested and charged with murder. Maybe he should be arrested but maybe he shouldn't be. The police and prosecutors need to be given time to properly investigate the incident and make the details public. What this country needs is for justice to be done and not a political response that satisfy one side or the other.
