Boy, 13, doused in gasoline and set alight in racially-motivated attack in Kansas City | Mail Online

Where is the hate crime outrage and search party here? No politcal parties getting involved. Rev Al isn't speaking out. No Presidential condemnation. Oh wait...

No joke, I totally mean it. Treyvon should not have been there. Am I the only one who heard the recordings?? Zimmerman asked "what are YOU doing here?" Young & dumb Treyvon is & its too bad, because he should be alive, I think he had a dad so there was a lot of potential there. Again it sucks he was killed people, but the law is the law in Florida, zimmerman was out with a gun, why was he out with a gun? The gun must have been legal. The cops let him go home & about his business. Its just some things BLACKS are not allowed to do, If you feel other wise I feel bad for you. Thats life & life is real this aint no civil rights fantasy.

First, nice attempt at deflection. Secondly, from the New York Daily News article, the victim doesn't know the identities of these attackers, and police ARE considering it a hate crime. I'm not sure how you can conflate these stories at all.

The call taker’s suggestion is not a lawful order that Mr. Zimmerman would be required to follow. Zimmerman’s statement was that he had lost sight of Trayvon and was returning to his truck to meet the police officer, when he says he was attacked by Trayvon."

An unarmed teenager who has you on the ground and is beating you is certainly a threat.....which makes the case not so "clear-cut"...
The unarmed teenager was defending himself against a grown man who was aggressively stalking him. We know that he was being stalked according to the account of his girlfriend.

And yes, it is a clear cut case. You don't pull out a gun in a fist fight, especially when you started it.

Naw, we can only feel sorry for a black man who has no understanding of his rights in America...

Apparently the police officers didn't think that there was probable cause to arrest at the time. And again, THE EVIDENCE WILL BE SUBMITTED TO A GRAND JURY. Jesus, it's not that hard to understand. If Zimmerman was not justified, or possibly even if he was, he'll have his day in court. Calm down.
If you think this needs to be investigated, then you're on the side of the protestors. The protests are about the fact that Zimmerman wasn't taken into custody and wasn't going to be investigated further.

Jesus, it's not that hard to understand.

I like how you talk so tough here on the internet. Its cute. Ive made it this far without your coaching. My opinion is know your place & know your surrounding. You are nobody til somebody kills you. Ask Treyvon.

Where does this info about Trayvon being 6'3 and Zimmerman being 5'4 come from? The reports show that Trayvon was kind of a skinny little kid and frankly he looks more like 13 than 17. Moreover, they say Zimmerman had at least 100 lbs on him.

Reverend Al didn't fly in and help search? He didn't use this as an example of racism in America? Wow.
