the whole case is a circus that should never have been "elevated" into a national and international story. I have people posting the usual slogans-as-thought about this case on Facebook, tumblr etc and I can tell they don't have a clue what happened. The media threw them a fish and they ate it like a seal in a show. Now "riots" are being staged by anarchists and Occupy Wall St types who just look for any excuse really. The Martin kid is being compared to Medgar Evers - a black civil rights activist killed in deep south in 1963. There is not the slightest correlation between the two cases but media makes one (knowing they are manipulating) and mob mentality types just take it all in on cue.
Most Americans don't even know what the black and red flag means
