Editorial:
George Zimmerman was acquitted of killing Trevyon Martin, a young black man.
What followed was public outcry from the Black community calling for justice and civil rights charges to be brought forth. We are concerned that the justice system failed the community. We are concerned about racial profiling, stereotyping, race relations, and social justice. And we agree that there needs to be more dialogue about repealing Florida’s “stand your ground” self-defense law.
These are all valid issues. Yet, these are not new issues.
