The shooter, crime watch volunteer George Zimmerman, said he felt threatened by Martin. If you feel threatened by a kid who is running away from you, you have a pretty low threshold for feeling threatened. Randi Rhodes
I would say that's pretty cut and dry....Don't know about anybody else...Something tells me you wish it was this loaded though....
Did you grow up in the 30's??
All joking aside, do you take yourself seriously?
Do you ever go back and read your post. Its obvious you don't care for black America. Then you come rushing to the defense of a murderer. How can you even begin to think about a kid just walking and ending up dead is somehow fair unless you have feelings about people like Trayvon. Stop playing games. I'm sick of it.

Yeah, I'm sure you're so upset about it. This is nothing but a catalyst to get you up onto your soapbox to start preaching your hatred and racism. What do you think about all the innocent people (blacks) that get gunned down by black gang members for absolutely no other reason than to be cool?

That has nothing to do with this thread. Stay on topic.
If Trayvon Martin was a white kid that got shot in his father's Gated Community by a mostly white (Zimmerman's dad is white and his mother is "latino" (which basically means a combination of Spanish(white) and indigenous blood)) neighborhood watch self appointed "captain", there would be a sh*t storm just like it is now. But for different reasons of course. They would probably focus on the "law" of the state with its ccw and no back down doctrines. Still, a sh*t storm nonetheless.
Now it gets interesting from this point. What do the police do? 17 year old white boy that wieghs about a buck fifty endangering a 250 pound 28 year old armed with a gun claiming self defense. I guess my bias would be showing if I assume that the man would at least get arrested. Also the phone records of him talking to his girlfriend right up to the point when Zimmerman attacks him? Not looking good for Zimmerman while he's in jail.
So basically, your premise is completely incorrect because it can't be a cold case since the shooter is known. Sheesh.
Also, even if we look at your premise about a "white kid getting robbed and shot" and no one solving it, don't you think the same could be same for the numerous cases of black kids getting "robbed and shot." Here's a little exercise for you. See how many "black kid robbed and shot, no suspect found" national stories there have been in the past 6 months. Then do the same for "white kid robbed and shot, no suspect found" national stories for the past 6 months.
Anytime you start an argument with "if" it's a weak one. A white kid would most likely not get gunned down because he would not be profiled in the 1st place. He wouldn't be profiled because white kids had not previously been robbing people's homes in Zimmerman's development.
Too bad - just like you make generalizations others do as well. Who cares anyway? I have had many foreign black people befriend me and some that wanted to date me. Most of them seemed capable of judging people as individuals, unlike yourself. If someone looks at me and sees a thug or welfare queen without knowing me, I woudn't want to associate with them anyway. I don't keep company with ignorant, closed-minded racists or self-loathing black folks. Seriously, do you think that having a Ghanian accent is going to keep you or your children from being racially profiled? In this case, do you think it would have kept Trayvon Martin from being killed? No matter how much you go out of your way to disassociate yourself from black people, to the racist, you're still a ******.
I have no Ghanaian accent, I was born here. Carry on.
