    Trayvon Martin's Murderer George Zimmerman Arrest & Charge Anticlimactic & Late

    By EWillies1961  |  Posted April 12, 2012  |  Kingwood, Texas
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     EWillies1961 shared his thoughts on the arrest of and filing of second-degree murder charges against George Zimmerman, the shooter of Florida teen Trayvon Martin. 'Zimmerman being charged really does not change my opinion of the system at all,' he said. 'I feel he was charged simply because of the attention this story got. It got local, state, national, and international attention. Absent an arrest the United States has displayed what many already know, there are two justice systems in America.'
    - jmsaba, CNN iReport producer

    Zimmerman’s arrest seems anticlimactic. While I am happy he finally is in jail my biggest concern is why he was not arrested in the first place. I really wish this was not all about race. But it is. Until all of America can be honest about this case this problem will repeat itself. There are two justice systems. I know it and most that deny knowing do as well.
