Recall George Zimmerman--not only did he instigate his confrontation with Trayvon, he literally stalked him for hundreds of yards, picked a fight with him, and then abruptly realized he was going to lose, prompting a reach into the holster for a little plan B... and the legal system STILL sided with him.
It's honestly bewildering that the kid was even charged, given the weight of the legal precedent behind the notion that his actions were legal. Truly a testament to what a powerful effect that BLM as well as the "Great Awokening" in general have already had on the functionaries of the legal system all the way in Wisconsin.
