Trayvon Martin. Oscar Grant. Do You See A Connection?

Is justice blind? Or blinded by color?


A jury of six women in  Florida has found George Zimmerman not guilty of second degree murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

Protestors in San Francisco held a peaceful rally but a small gathering in Oakland turned into a window-smashing exercise, according to the Oakland Tribune.

The decision came on the same weekend that local theaters debuted "Fruitvale Station," a film about the shooting of Oscar Grant by a BART policeman.
