I don't know what's all the arguing about on here, seems clear as of now.
You're NO fool...and are exactly right, I believe. Did you see the close up pic of the Low life who killed this young, helpless kid??

Mean as hell looking.

Exactly. This is about a teen getting shot for no reason. Imagine you have someone following you, what would you do? Unless it's someone in a police car and in a police uniform anyone who has their wits about them is going to run.

Which is what this kid did.

I may have to retract this. There are reports of two shots being fired but now they are being disputed.

This was part of a CNN report 30 minutes ago.
There are eyewitnesses who say the kid was face DOWN in the ground when the pile of **** was standing over him. How does a dead man end up face down unless he is shot from behind?

It's good that enough noise was made though. Now that it reached the media, of course the Feds are gonna get involved for PR and damage control purposes. Hopefully, they'll open a separate probe in regards to police misconduct.

So IMO don't look for Obama to come out the same way he did to go after a cop he said acted stupidly. He wants Latino votes and will avoid this like fire.

What happened is a tragedy.

The real racist mainstream media is still calling him white and making this out like a white old man killing a young black kid.

The man is not white and I wish they would stop this crap.

To say that insults and trash talk were not thrown back and forth...resulting in blows being thrown....wrestling..etc.etc. Followed by Zimmerman getting his tail whipped and either..

1 - reaching for his gun out of anger

OR

2 - genuine fear for his life

Is not unfathomable.....I personally feel that he followed him then antagonized....there was a confrontation and trash talk. Zimmerman was probably getting taken to task by a teenager and out of rage..pulled the gun and killed him.

That's what I think happened. And it's unfortunate that the boy is dead.

So let's just paraphrase your position...

No matter what the circumstances, you are most likely on the side of the scruffy, fat low life Zimmerman (or at the very least will give him the greatest benefit of the doubt).

And because even though this is America, young Black men should not dare walk down a street if he is not personally known to every White (or Whitish) person in the vicinity, or if he does not have his "negro slave pass" from good ole massa that would allow him to leave the plantation. Otherwise, the young Black man is subject to being shot by any good, upstanding White (or Whitish) citizen.

We get your position Hot Handz. No doubt about it.

That's got to be an Evil Agenda at work....as is this whole stinkin' inept way this has been swept under the proverbial 'rug.'

White people outnumber black people by a very large margin in this country and black people still shoot each other way more often than white people shoot black people. That young black man (is he a man now... in order to pull at the heart strings you guys have been making him out to be a helpless baby but now all of a sudden he's a man?) stands a much higher chance of getting shot by another black man than any evil fat, whitish guy.
