Hispanics come in all colors. Espec in fla, there are many black hispanics. George zimmerman is a white of Hispanic origins, perhaps a little german mixed up in there, judging by his name..
Nope....he looks to be a Mestizo of Hispanic Origins.
If another black kid had shot him, would black folks be wearing hoodies and marching?? Would we even care??
Would people be marching? Who knows. Should we care? Absolutely.

Martin: Shut up, *****! Get the F* off my face!
And, Martin proceed to punch Zimmerman. Zimmerman ended up on the ground with the broken and bleeding nose, and with Martin on top of him.
Your assumption and quick conclusion would be foolish now, wouldn't it be. I am not saying that my scenario above is what happend. What I am saying is that let all the facts come out first before concluding anything.
I made conclusions too quickly without the facts? And then you invent a story.
Way to go.
We do know Zimmerman made a phone call to report a suspicious person. The operator told him to not approach the individual--he did so anyway. Zimmerman deliberately pursued Trayvon.
If Trayvon felt under threat--which is what his phone call to his girlfriend stated, he has as much right (and I am prepared to defend the statement more a right) to defend himself against the physically larger guy than Zimmmerman had for using lethal force against someone half his size. Trayvon simply had a large man coming at him. Zimmerman had a teenage half his size, and Zimmerman was fully aware he was armed himself. Zimmerman instigated every event that took place.
This isn't in the news just because some "white" guy shot some black kid. It's in the news because it criticizes Florida's stand-your-ground law. It's in the news because it was a black, innocent teenager. It's in the news because the police department had zero integrity with regards to investigating the case. It's a failure of the local justice system, and that's why it is absolutely huge.
So, as you said, let's use the facts. Zimmerman followed this kid against the instruction of the emergency operator, the kid felt threatened by him, and the ensuing scuffle between a light-weight teen and a large armed man ended up with a dead kid on the sidewalk, and no police investigation.
This isn't a political issue. It's a human issue. What we know now strongly points to suspicious circumstances on part of Zimmerman. The man deserves a fair trial. Let's make sure he gets it.
What if Trayvon Had Been White, and the Shooter Black?

This is not an exercise in mere speculation. We know what would happen in such a case. There would be no white mobs in the street chanting "No justice, no peace!" There would be no whites holding a "million hoodie march" in New York City. There would be no white equivalent of Al Sharpton, the professional race-baiter behind the 1987 Tawana Brawley hoax, leading marches in the streets of the shooter's hometown. There would be no Federal civil rights investigation by the Justice Department. There would be no comments from a president who seems congenitally unable to keep his mouth shut on matters involving left-wing political correctness. And there would be no national media attention from biased, left-wing "reporters."
So,anyone know of any reason why this isn't called hispanic on black crime?
It doesn't fit The Narrative.
