I do not care for Zimmerman... it is the reaction of the RW that I find soooo disgusting.
BTW they look sooo cute. However my children would look a bit Irish and still be gunned down by the British.
I do understand the hate but that will not prevent me from ending it.

My eyes went to another display of Skittles. Could have been a coincidence, an expression of resistance or opportunism.
I had to do a double take, decide whether to bring it up or not.
