The recent decision of the court to acquit George Zimmerman has caused a great stir amongst communities and the media.  Unfortunately within the media as well as the trial, the story of what exactly happened on the night Trayvon Martin was killed has become a bit muddy.  In the aftermath of the trial it's been portrayed in some instances as a race driven crime and this could be detrimental whether it's true or not.  Once the media gets a headline line that, they push it because it seems compelling and people lose site of what the trial is truly about.  It also begins to pit people against one another even though it's something that is much bigger than race.
