Did you not read what you quoted?

In Virginia a magistrate is not what you really think of as a "judge". Most of them are not even lawyers. They're liked souped up court clerks.

It is astonishing that so many people are caught up in their own deep-rooted racist and stereotypical beliefs that they absolutely refuse to accept the basic undisputable facts of the case. Yet I am positive that if Zimmerman was a grown black man, and Martin was a young white teenager, these same individuals would do a complete 180 and call for Zimmerman’s head. I myself see the facts the same way regardless of what age or race Zimmerman or Martin is/was. Zimmerman LEFT his vehicle, APPROACHED Martin, and anything after that is a direct result of those two actions and decisions, now he has to pay the price for it.

And there are just no words for the Sanford PD. I strongly believe that had they thoroughly investigated this matter from the start, this story would not have blown up to the magnitude it has today. In that regards, I hold them even more accountable than Zimmerman.
Fine work

None of this would've happened if the loser would've kept his paranoid ass in the vehicle ... like he was supposed to.

But the pinhead didn't want, in his words, the 'assh*le' to get away ... even though the kid did absolutely nothing wrong.

This paranoid loser needs to go down hard (arrested and put behind bars)...

Agreed.

Hispanic would become illegal alien.
Unemployed would become welfare bum.
Neighborhood Watch Captain would become predator roaming the streets with a gun.
Son of a judge would become rich boy hiding behind Daddy's money and/or clout.

Thank God I'm not one of those people who pick and choose when to become outraged. The murder of anyone (especially a young person) is a heartbreaking thing. I couldn't imagine taking an "Oh well, s/he deserved it" approach just because the child was white.

This mindset is the very lowest of low.

No, not "guaranteed." White people aren't as quick to rush to judgement and make non-racial issues into racial issues as the black community is. The first "hint" of racism and Al Sharpton and his Pawns are on the scene making a mountain out of a molehill.

Personally, I feel this whole episode is a shameful exhibition of the caliber of people that we have in America. How can so many people have such utter contempt for Constitutionally protected due process? Skin color over everything else. It's disgusting.

Suppose the black kid had defended himself against the white guy with a legal handgun. Then who would be protecting whom?

How does this negate the fact that he might have friends in high (judicial) places?

Dude. You can't tell anything pro or con from that links image. Their enhancement method is very, very poor. I would let that one go and wait for more info to come out as this video is still fairly new.

white conservatives are...immediately after the shooting, they instinctively defended Zimmerman and attacked the character of the black kid. if the kid was white it would have been the other way around...GUARENTEED!...

OH MY GOODNESS! Are you living under a rock? The reason why so many people are upset is because they feel due process was NOT served. Why did it take multiple weeks of contact with the PD, protests, and media coverage for all of this information to be released from the police department??? If this case never gained national notoriety rest assured Martin's parents would NEVER have any peace. If that was YOUR child, you would want to know WHY you had to bury your son before his time. That is the bottom line! Forget race, forget all of the other BS, it is about one thing, JUSTICE. That is it. You hold disdain against others for the same exact thing you are doing yourself.
