the nation? If there is a major impact, let’s hear about that. Instead, the focus seems to be on how much like crazed LA Lakers fans the people who are reacting to the trial can act. At least the Lakers fans are limited to acting like fools and tearing up one city. Folks who are angry about Zimmerman seem to be taking their frustration out across the country.
