Yea, that is a bit of a double standard.

OJ did get popped in the civil trial, probably just like Zimmerman will too. The difference, I think, is that OJ had more to loose in the civil trial. I'm sure Zimmerman is already functionally broke between the attorney fees and inability to get another job. Maybe there are book deals and media interview options, but I think he's being punished either way.

Florida actually has interesting statutes against civil suits in this instance (that Texas should look at implementing). They make it much more difficult when he's been found not guilty in a criminal proceding. If he were smart he'd already been in Canada by now but I don't think he's the sharpest tool in the shed.

Agreed. I think expatriating quickly is the best choice he could make

Sure there have been some relatively peaceful protests in Houston, but virtually no violence.

They had about 80 marchers in downtown Houston. Very organized and no issues. And thats how it should be. Use your First Amendment rights in the manner it was meant.

Mostly no issues. The front page picture on the Chronicle yesterday showed a white lady at the courthouse getting shoved around by the activists. And the River Oaks demonstrations this weekend have me worried since there will also be a pro-Zimmerman group there to oppose the pro-Trayvon crowd. Hopefully they can all behave themselves.
