"I live in a world where the woman who flour bombed Kim Kardashian was arrested at the spot but the man who KILLED Trayvon Martin is still free," is a tweet that's popularizing Twitter, being retweeted constantly.
The so called "flour-bomber" gained publicity on March 22 when the woman, who is remaining anonymous, doused Kardashian with a white powder while she was doing interviews outside a West Hollywood hotel.
As interviewers talked with Kardashian, a woman ran up and, to the crowd's surprise, covered Kardashian in flour. Kardashian took the next ten minutes to clean the powder off of her before returning to finish her interviews.
The unidentified woman was immediately detained, but Kardashian will not press charges. CNN's Marquee blog does cite her as saying that she does not want people to think that they can get away with such a thing in the future.
Kardashian's family members were not quite as understanding as she; both sisters Khloe and Kourtney tweeted their reaction to the incident, believing that if they were there the woman would not have thrown the sack of flour.
The incident has received much publicity, flooding social media sites as well as CNN and ABC News websites.
Much of the public has responded in outrage as authorities had the "nerve" to arrest the woman for throwing a baking ingredient at a celebrity, but not the man who murdered Florida teen Trayvon Martin. Martin's story is also receiving much publicity.
So what are your thoughts? Were authorities out of line for arresting the woman?
