George Zimmerman, the man who admitted profiling a black teen, following him, confronting him, and fighting with him has been found not guilty of the murder of that teen by a Florida jury. 

At the time of his death, 17-year old Trayvon Martin had done nothing more than go out to buy an Ice Tea and some candy from a local gas station.  He was unarmed.

The jury took about 16 hours to decide that the actions of George Zimmerman, the adult son of a Florida judge, were somehow the result of “self-defense”.  

“You have a little black boy who was killed,” said Benjamin Crump, an attorney for the parents of Trayvon.

“It's going to be reported in history books and 50 years from now, our children will talk about Trayvon Martin's case like we talk about Emmett Till,” Crump said, referring to the 14-year-old black young man who was tortured, grossly disfigured and murdered in 1955 in Mississippi after being accused of flirting with a white woman.
