People do bad things all day long because they are basically bad.

If that is really the analysis, then why in the world did Martin-Zimmerman get any more than a 15 second blurb ? Thug wanna-be jumps a chubby hispanic guy who is packing heat? If Zimmerman was not packing heat, and Martin got away with beating this guy to a pulp, no one would care. And the other way around, it's what again ? Like I said, show a picture of Shorty when he was 12 years old and post that everywhere. That will get attention -- it sure did with Martin's case. Why did America celebrate a thug wanna be again? From the president on down, Martin was elevated to a near god-like status and he was at best a thug wanna be whereas Shorty actually did something for his country. Larry Bible hit the nail on the head ... this is sad all the way around.
