Zimmerman's surely guilty according to the lynch mob mentality that the media created.

No.

I put forth no alternative scenario. The kid went to the store to get candy and was killed by a vigilante because he looked like the stereotype of what the vigilante wanted out of the area.

This kid was stalked and murdered like an antelope by a lion in Africa.

This is pretty straight forward.

It is people like you who are trying to read more into it. Like the antelope ran and hoofed the lion before the fatal blow so the antelope is at fault. he should have never hoofed the lion. Are you freakin' serious???????

and we don't even know if the kid did!!!!!!!!! (which he had every right to)

This is the worst exchange we have ever had here on Political chat.

Let me ask you this. Had the kid had a legal gun, could he have drawn it and shot the fat guy because he felt a reasonable threat?

Now
If a black man was chasing a white kid and the white kid felt threatened, stopped shot and killed the black man would anyone here be defending the black man?

Yet, because the black kid may have tried to defend himself with his fists because he felt threatened it's ok to kill him.

What is wrong with you people???????

Nobody arguing George Zimmerman's side of this has cared to admit that Zimmerman could have prevented this all in the first place by simply not leaving his house with a gun.

Zimmerman looked OK in the PD video released last night. Well at least on my 60" HD plasma with pause! Bet in court it will be a hit.

Because, then, you have to question why he legally owned a gun...

Well, I'll agree with you on one thing, this is the worst exchange we've ever had here.

Life sure seems cheap lately....

[piece-itpete]

I dunno, it really shows differences in a stark light.

I see that we know more and more what really happened as the thread continues

This isn't black vs white. Zimmerman is hispanic!

I love how the left is tying itself up justifying physical assult.

If the police protect you, why are their murders and rapes?

I completely disagree.

Doesn't fit the story as well. Only black guys are scary, unless they're being followed by a hispanic guy...

This thing is ugly all around, and my heart goes out to the poor kids parents and family. But it's become a much bogger thing, an indictment on much bogger issues. Look at what ccw guys are being called and accused of.
