Dear George Zimmerman Letter

Dear George Zimmerman,

You know that I know, that we all know that you knew that this little boy was doing nothing wrong. You assumed just because you saw a black man walking through your cookie cutter surburban neighborhood, that he was a culprit in the so called many break ins, your neighborhood has had. Wait. I am using the wrong the word here. I said "Assume" but really, in all actuality you didn't assume anything. The writings are on the wall clear as day, on what you were thinking that night.
 First of all, you are the so called captain of your neighborhood watch. A couple of caucasian neighbors put it in your head, that you were the man who could protect the elderly and retirees from whomever has been breaking in your homes. If someone had been breaking in at all, because I really do not believe that there were that many break ins around that place. I believe you heard there was a break in, you assumed that the African Americans living in your neighborhood were the ones doing it, so you went and purchased  a gun.
 There are racist people all over the place. From the north to the south, from east to west. In the antebellum south, back in the day, a black person could look a white man in the face and shoot him dead. With that being said,  you have a gun in your home and your trigger finger was itching. You don't like the fact of all these blacks being in your beautiful suburban neighborhood, and you just knew they were the ones doing the break ins.
 George, you wanted a reason to use that gun. People walk down the street in hoodies all the time at all times of the night. But that is not even the point, the point is how do you say you felt threatend by a seventeen year old small framed boy? He was unarmed. You just shot the young man in cold blood.
 I believe that the Lord is the only one who should be taking out vengeance on you for what you did. I do believe that you will spend some time in prison, if you make it to trial. You are the most hated man across the world right now. I don't even want to call you a man, only a monster would shoot a child down in cold blood while he is begging for his life.
 George, the only thing I can say to you is to please turn yourself in to the FBI and tell them you want to go to trial. You know how when your ancestors would climb on horses and put on the white hoods and go riding out late at night to kill a black person (or some other race) for even looking at them sideways? Well we are ready to lynch you. Violence is never the answer, we are to look for justice in the hands of the law. But what are we to do when the law is not even on our side, and our blood is boiling and we are mad as hell because you took our brother from us for no reason at all.
What do you suppose we do? You can run but you can't hide. We know what you look like. I think some of us know where you live, if no one has burned your house down already. So you have three options. 1. Turn yourself in and tell the FBI you want to go to trial. 2. Someone kills you. 3.Someone beats you or shoots you without killing you, and turns you into a case v8. That would be turn you into a vegetable, so that you will be alive but you would be so brain dead the last thing you remember is shooting that brother down for no reason.
 The choice is yours. Turn yourself in.
