How is this the 'RIGHT THING'?
I hope to become an attorney - a defense attorney - the law does not ally.

This is all a part of a repukikan party CIA-inspired right-wing plot to keep the black man down. Even those photos of Treyvon with gold teeth are obviously photoshopped.

Here's a photo taken of Treyvon shortly before he was murdered in cold blood by that racist nazi White man.

As millions of people rally online and thousands march in the streets demanding justice for Trayvon Martin, the state or federal prosecution of George Zimmerman seems increasingly likely. But ... as millions of people rally online and thousands march in the streets, Zimmerman's prospects for a fair trial seem increasingly unlikely.
No he could not at this time get a fair trial

Watching the Town Hall Circus Act has been really entertaining. The truth will expose itself and I believe the ring leaders, clowns & animals will face disapointment and will have to be transported to the next city for the newest adventure.

You want to believe that this case is about racism. I believe it is about the non-action of the Sanford PD, some of which is racist. You have yet to provide a comparable b/b case such as this one. If you can, and no public outcry resulted, you will have a point. Otherwise, you don't.
Birth control is widely available to these women, provided free by the same system that provides the means to have these children and pay for them. When the system quits rewarding these women for having child after child and they start having children because they want them not just for there cash value, the problem of troubled young black men being raised as criminals in the streets will slowly go away. These children are born into a life of crime, caused by abuse of the system.

Default An adult shot a child. This is the way I look at the Trayvon Martin case.

Nothing else really matters. Not the self-defense law. Not the races of those involved. What outrages me the most is the fact that Zimmerman was not automatically arrested for shooting a child and brought in for questioning.

Shouldn't a case where a child is shot to death be thoroughly investigated regardless? Why is it good enough for an adult to say, "He was trying to hurt me so I shot him" and that's that?

It makes absolutely no sense.

CNN did the right thing; sent the tape to FBI crime lab at Quantico. Perhaps they will call the murderers lawyer for a second opinion (LOL)!
I have little doubt that the forensic lab at the FBI will be able to figure out exactly what he said.

Nothing good happens when you vote Republican

Right, so if thats the ONLY way you look at it, you wouldn't agree with an adult cop stopping with lethal force some columbine type kid shooting up a school and aiming his gun at the cop...

OK.

He is a large black male, I doubt Mr Zimmerman could judge his age by how much he saw and I doubt he could see much of his face because of the hoodie. The silouett of a large male can be intimidating.
