No it didn't. The POS thug got *exactly* what he deserved. The real benefit? He can't reproduce more of the same P'sOS as he was. One less thug is great news for America.
Wow, why in your mind did he deserve to die. A thug...really? Why is that. Your statement is exactly why some think its about race. Way to go
"As a parent, particularly a parent of black teenage boys, I am left with the question, “Now, what do I tell my boys?”
We used to say not to run in public because that might be seen as suspicious, like they’d stolen something. But according to Zimmerman, Martin drew his suspicion at least in part because he was walking too slowly.
So what do I tell my boys now? At what precise pace should a black man walk to avoid suspicion?
And can they ever stop walking away, or running away, and simply stand their ground? Can they become righteously indignant without being fatally wounded?"
The system didn't seem to fail Martin when the police downgraded his criminal record to achieve some sort of departmental goal unrelated to the Zimmerman case.

It did according to the jury instructions, and the jury itself, so I don't know why you say that.
SYG wasn't used by Zimmerman as a defense, but B37 specifically mentioned it as one of the reasons the jury found Zimmerman not guilty. Watch the interview with Anderson Cooper.

You mean like Zimmerman molesting his cousin, beating his girlfriend and assaulting an officer?
Who's the thug again?
