Disconnect

I can't seem to make sense out of justice.

The thing that's bothering me the most right now about the Zimmerman acquittal, among a staggering number of others, is that a woman (an African-American, surprise!) who fired warning shots against an abusive man is sentenced to 20 years in prison.  She is not protected by the "Stand Your Ground Law."  George Zimmerman, on the other hand, kills Trayvon Martin and gets to go home.

Am I being naive?
