It's important to note that when we first heard of the Zimmerman/Martin case, there were no charges. It looked bad. It looked like he'd stalked a black kid and murdered him and the cops said idgaf

This case is different, or at least appears to be, in that she was charged from the beginning. It wasn't so much the race or the crime that people got mad about in the Zimmerman case, but the fact that he was walking about when it looked like he should have been behind bars. Of course, the reason it looked bad in the first place was shitty journalism that jumped to conclusions without knowing much of the facts

Granted, the Zimmerman case was turned into something it's not, so it would only be fair for those who made it all about race even after Zimmerman was clearly not a murderer to also be outraged about stories like the OP one
