What now?

So today's headlines are all about George Zimmerman and how he was found not guilty, I don't know whether he was guilty of murder or not but it does seem to be a great topic on which to divide a nation. Every comment I have read so far is either in love with Trayvon or in defense of Zimmerman for no other reason than to stand behind gun rites, STOP IT!
What happened to blind justice? are we the people that should be deciding peoples fate through the scope of a biased media? Are we really so sure as a people that our court systems will not provide justice? Maybe I am lost here but I thought that you got your day in court for anything that you have done and if that court finds you innocent appeals may be made but in the end our system makes the final verdict and america stands behind that. I personally think that O.J. Simpson got away with murder but I think that if I had started a riot to try and exact justice it would have been more harmful to civilization than setting a murderer free.

I think we are getting new and more varied ways to polarize this nation every day, the media does its best to push an agenda and the masses are moved by its efforts. And whats worse is the fact that the president just came out with a statement that helps that agenda while at the same time furthers his.

Every year that passes only strengthens my belief that common sense is dead and his mistress Reason has long since fled the scene of the crime.
