Political Cartoons

> A real life case of 'vigilantism' came to light in 2012 when George Zimmerman, while on his route for his neighborhood watch, shot and killed a teenage boy named Trayvon Martin. The public outrage that resulted in Zimmerman using lethal force on a 'suspicious' subject led to a lot of media exposure at the trial. Zimmerman was acquitted of the charges for second degree murder.

*RJ Matson created political cartoons in response to the Zimmerman case.

*These cartoons, along with the public outrage at Zimmerman show how, in real life, most people do not condone vigilantism and would rather law enforcement handle all legal issues.
