The Zimmerman trial in the eyes of the left was never about a black teen being killed it was about gun control

The left tried to paint George Zimmerman as a racist and continue to use this trial as a fund raiser. The jury has spoken and Zimmerman has already been investigated by the FBI months ago to see if his actions was hate crime. It was not! It is sad that a teen lost his life and based on the evidence the jury had no option but to render a verdict of not guilty.

The question is this! Why does the left continue to spaz out over this? My take is this! This trial in the eyes of the left was never about a black teen, it was about a potential gun control issue.

Most murder of black Americans is done by black Americans where are the riots? You also have white on white crime black on white on crime. I look at crime as a crime issue not a race issue.  It is the left that contends it is a race issue but the motives are deeper than race, it is a social agenda. But there narrative did not work with this trial to achieve an end game. You can argue and debate, but facts are facts and facts won in the end. The Zimmerman trial in the eyes of the left was never about a black teen being killed it was about gun control. The left is mad because of a missed opportunity.
