@hawkeye10,
Hawkeye, the rule of law allows people to protest government actions in a peaceful manner, just as Martin's parents did with their protests of the D.A.'s actions in not arresting and charging Zimmerman.
The chief police investigator found Zimmerman's version of events, and his claim of self-defense "unconvincing" and he wanted him arrested and charged the night of the shooting, the D.A. passed on doing that, and that was reason for the protests that followed.
Do you really think the government should just ignore such protests, which are based on valid claims, and not appoint special prosecutors to further look into the matter? These are procedures already in place and followed, they weren't created for "special people", and the government has an obligation to look into the actions of D.A.'s when the public is complaining and protesting about homicide victims being ignored.
I repeat--There is not the slightest doubt in my mind that, if one of your children was killed under similarly questionable circumstances, and the shooter was not arrested, despite his "unconvincing" self-defense story, and the recommendation of the police investigator that he should have been arrested and charged the night of the shooting, that, just like Martin's parents, you would have carried on to beat the band. You'd be carrying on about a "dysfunctional government" that was so incompetent it didn't care about your unarmed child winding up dead at the hands of a shooter with a questionable and unconvincing story of self-defense--you'd be screaming for the man's arrest, and you'd be blasting the government, and you'd be calling for protests.
I really do think you'd react just the way Martin's parents did.
And you haven't said anything to indicate you would have reacted any differently than Martin's family did, if you felt your child's questionable death, at the hands of a shooter with an "unconvincing" self-defense story, was being ignored by the state.
I think the bidders are out of their minds.
