Thats the number of people killed by a gun in the time spent here blogging over the course of the Zimmerman trial.
87 per day...21 days (my guess)...1827.
Don't know the racial, gender, or age breakdown...just general stat pulled off the web..

Imagine, if we were to leverage all the attention and animus on display here to bring to one another's attention our concern for the lost and contempt for the accused, for the remaining 1826.
But, alas, those folks apparently dont carry enough cache to garner even the slightest attention.
Odd, that.
