They deserve the death penalty. That's definitely 1st degree murder. What's the point of going after people that had nothing to do with what you're mad about besides sharing the same skin color as the guy who shot your dad?

That said, I can understand their frustration with the case (check out the article below). Justifiable homicide? Self defense? Sounds to me like Jefferson should have been guilty of 2nd degree murder.

Stuff like this happens every single day. It's why Zimmerman has so many supporters. Many whites feel that when we're the victims of black-on-white crime, it goes unnoticed. When the roles are reversed, it's a international story.
