    No, Zimmerman is not a cold blooded killer. He used a gun in self defense when the aggressive TM attacked him.

    So, yes, it does matter.

    No.. you're wrong. I watch Msnbc, cnn, etc.. I know for a fact TM couldn't have attacked Zimmerman. Just look for yourself. How can such a little boy "ground and pound".. .Makes no sense... Stop watch faux news!!!!

    Not at all. You have to be doing something far worse. Like walking home from a convenience store while wearing a hoodie.

    How was it stupid? He was a neighborhood watchman, he saw a person walking closely to homes in a neighborhood with recent crime. He called 911, who did ask him questions about the person and in order to answer them, he HAD to at least follow the person to some degree to ascertain those answers. When he answered to the affirmative that he was following the person and was told by the 911 dispatcher that "we don't need you to do that", he attempted to return to his vehicle and then got jumped.

    What GZ did is no different than what many neighborhood watch people have done for many years. I grew up on a neighborhood that had a watch group and as a teenager out and about have been approached by these people myself.

    GZ did nothing to warrant a physical attack, period.

    Perhaps the difference is that in this case, the circumstances are fairly cut and dry. There is no confusion, no fool with a gun running around chasing children.

    Maybe going forward we should compare apples to apples, rather that just complaining every shooting that involves folks of different races be treated the same.

    There is NO way Trayvon was walking closely near homes .. Look at the slide show.. George painted a picture of TM that was a lie from the beginning.. to make himself MORE important.

    George made NO attempt to return to his vehicle.. NONE.

    Batman.. I man ZimmerMan does not return to his vehicle. You confront Batman... I mean ZimmerMan in the middle of the night in his neighborhood while wearing a hoodie and you will die.

    Not only that, but Batman has the resources to "game" the legal system in such a way that he will not be found guilt of murder during any trial... Why??? Because...


    He's Batman.. I mean ZimmerMan.... don't mess with a psychopath..

    Whites don't need to.

    As we saw with Zimmerman, whites can do stupid stuff and still get treated with deference by authorities.

    How many weeks of protests did it take for the police to actually file charges?

    Zimmerman white?? He clearly looks Hispanic, or mixed race. Have you seen his mother and uncle?

    GZ wrote that he was white on all his job and school applications. Do I care? Nope.

    ...and how many days did it take for the race hustlers to pressure them into filing those trumped up charges? 2nd degree murder??? Ridiculous.

    Requesting a move to the Zimmerman forum. Also, you do realize that this case had nothing to do with contentious, stupid legislature that was hotly debated at the time, and the shooter was promptly arrested and tried? These failed comparisons to the Trayvon/Zimmerman case completely ignore every single factor that made it a national news item.

    Every.

    Single.

    Factor.

    Maybe. But one look at his mother clearly shows he's not.
