No one has mentioned that the very reverend Al Sharpton came to town and got everyone even more worked up and fanned the flames with his racist remarks. It's a shame that these communities can't look at these things more objectively. They are hurting themselves. What was Wilson supposed to do while this thug was beating the shit out of him while going for his firearm. Lets just imagine he did get the gun. What do you think he would have done with it?????? Wilson rightfully feared for his life and accordingly was justified in using deadly force
