I'm sick of pro-Zimmerman people saying that the self-defense shooting is "tragic"
Since the shooting is a case of incontrovertible self-defense, it is not tragic. I feel like vomiting after hearing and reading FOX news talking heads, Zimmerman family members (hell, even Zimmerman himself), and others who indicate that they know the truth---that this is a case of indisuputable self-defense---subsequently add that this incident is a tragedy (and some of them also add that they are praying for Martin's parents). While I realize that it is highly likely that the vast majority of these individuals are doing this purely for public relations reasons, it is sickening that we live in a society where people have to dirty the truth with politically correct platitudes. In a sane world, the pure, unadulterated truth would be stated, and that would be the end of it.
