I can't Bear it

Wrong Zimmerman. Photos were from Internet search hits under topic, "images".

When I posted that, I wasn't intending to even involve Zimmerman because I did not know who he was nor the history behind him. Missed it also because text is so tiny in the cartoon, hardly noticeable. I posted it because often the press reports are taken as gospel truth when in fact they are not. This is why I don't watch boob-toob (TV) news and a believe less than half I read.

Now that you mention this, I looked up Zimmerman and found: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Zimmerman . Makes for an interesting read and how society continued to hound this man, already convicted in the press and in certain factions of the radical leftists and ultra-sensitive victimists. This was even though he was exonerated by a trial jury.

Again, the demented part of my mind did not know what this may historically represent politically. I was thinking more in the sense of that venerable by funny newspaper cartoon, "The Far Side". For example, polar bears breaking into igloos and taking people. One tells the other, "I like the ones that are crunchy on the outside and chewy in the inside."
