Absolutely agree.

Yes, those are some the facts that you have cherry picked. You choose to ignore many others.

We don't know that, do we. That's your conclusion based on no facts. And I would hardly call him a child.

He is not arrested by local law enforcement
Local police chief steps aside
The Feds step in to investigate
Yes, a few more facts.

Actually it's the racists like Jackson and Obama who are in the uproar. Many of us are content to let justice take it's course and form our opinions AFTER we learn the facts. Others, like you, prefer to ignore some of the facts like the injury on the back of Zimmerman's head.

I disagree. Any blacks that use this as an excuse to hate whites, hated them anyway. If anything, we are upset at the PD for doing a shoddy investigation.

This is what folks fail to get. While the death of Trayvon is tragic, we don't know the facts of what happened. What we DO know is that the Sanford PD did shoddy work and even attempted to change the testimony of a witness. THAT is where the outrage kicks in. Our "beef" is with the PD and the DA, NOT with white people.

And Trayvon's race is important because he was racially profiled. Not saying it wasn't justified and/or realistic, but the truth is what it is...and sometimes, it's ugly.

Like I said, you've already figured out that Zimmerman is the victim here.

What if Trayvon Had Been White, and the Shooter Black?

Obama would not have been able to grandstand.

And for people wondering why they haven't brought a case against Zimmerman yet, please remember that there's no statute of limitations on the crime of murder. You have a bunch of smart, geeky lawyers in the DOJ Civil Rights Division building their case right now. And once the Feds have said they have a case, you might as well just sign a plea agreement. Their conviction rate is something like 98.2 percent LOL.

Al Capone couldn't beat them.

Martha Stewart couldn't beat them.

If it goes federal (I doubt it), he's as good as incarcerated. Even if it doesn't, Holder will provide federal assistance to help Florida win the case.

If there was any question of self defense, of course they would have arrested the guy. The fact that they did not arrest him demonstrates that the police are essentially 100% sure that the shooting was in self defense. Would you expect to be arrested for shooting someone trying to kill YOU?

" which is a pretty clear cut case of a thug who was killed in self defense".

How is this clear? The investigation is not even over. YOU ARE A BIGOT!

Facts? You haven't even heard the grand jury testimony yet? If your basing the "facts" on media reports your probably using them to justify your personal feelings which is what starts these "racial" battles to begin with. I'm done reading this post already.

her because she has black america

other people, including just about
the whole city of sanford, fl.

The only questions here should be.............
Why did Zimmermam follow Trayvon when told NOT to?
Why did Zimmermam leave his vehicle and NOT wait to meet the arriving police officers as he was asked to?
Why did Zimmerman feel it necessary to pull a gun on a unarmed youth that he was fighting with?
Why did Zimmermam shoot a unarmed youth?
Answer these questions before claiming that you felt threatened Zimmerman!
