Personally, I believe the supporters of Zimmerman are worried about the impact this decision could have on CCW and SYG. They may not care about the individuals involved in this case, but they know the greater issue is CCW and vigilante justice.....Not so much about race.

Precisely.

In sum, those who would support Zimmerman are merely protecting their own metallic phallus and similar (fearful) ideology.

That's the way I see it too, Dave.

That is why their heroes like LaPee-air at the NRA have been scaring them with lurid tales of rape, pillage and plunder in that Uhmerican Rifleman magazine. If people realized that they were turning this great country into an armed camp full of cowards, cowering in the dark whilst stroking their blued and chromed plated steel phalli, they would approve gun control in a heartbeat.
