Vigilante justice is going to come back and bite those who supported it when it benefited their beliefs and values. Sooner or later the shoe is going to be on the other foot. And the trial opened that up. We now have to wait and see what the story is behind these events. Someone could have thrown a rock at that car. Thrown a skateboard at it. Not that they did, but until we know it's now possible to justify mass murders.
The problem with the Kyle verdict is that vigilante justice was magnified as acceptable, but we all know there is nothing good that ever comes from vigilante justice. It will happen again, and more frequently. The toothpaste can't go back into the tube. If someone feels threatened for whatever reasons, they can act, and they can kill.
Think of the next black teen who brings a gun to a Klan rally. They will attack him. Him killing them is no longer out of the question (him getting away with it is), but those who supported Kyle would think differently about what happened (they'd likely say he shouldn't have never went, or he knew where he was going and getting into and asked for it by showing up).
Seriously? Wow. I never agreed with you much in politics, but this is different level.
