Overreacting? Zimmerman's family lives in fear of a government (?) raid.

I suspect Code Brown will take on an entirely different significance if these guys were to ever find themselves in actual danger. Something involving pants.

I certainly did not cheer. I believed he was guilty.

Skin color didn't matter.

I saw it as a controlling man against a woman who wanted to move on, not black vs. white.

Those who WERE cheering, though, were doing it because the Rodney King verdict was still fresh in the minds of Americans. And there were a lot of blacks who knew he did it, but wanted to see "the white man get screwed over" for once.

Doesn't make it right, but that's what it was.


Still, OJ's at least in prison now. Regardless of what he's there for, deep down inside, we all know it was to make up for 1995.

and it's a good thing for OJ that he wasn't an active player when he beheaded Nicole......The NFL woulda suspended him for a year without pay for that little act of domestic violence......!

Different commissioner, different time.

I'd doubt that.
