But why look at the big picture when we can narrow our focus down to what one man did to one other young man on one particular day.

If it's a bright shiny object that they want us to look at, it's usually because there's something else they'd rather we don't see. It's not magic, it's misdirection. If you're looking where they want you to look you won't see the things they'd rather we didn't see.

So to answer the OP's question, yes, I do not give a shit about the Zimmerman trial.
