wutitiz, What injection of race? Martins' build, kind of tall and lanky, reminds me of Obama somewhat.

I think the actual call said they were playing in the street. And he was afraid that no one was watching and the child would get run over.

That would be the more difficult if not impossible point to prove - it more likely shows his intent to question and detain and wait for the police so that Trayvon does not get away like the others - as mentioned in the 911 call --- It does not show racially motivated intent to kill or murder.

Default Legal question

The Black Panthers has issued a bounty on Zimmerman, dead or alive. The amount is growing as more black celebrities are contributing to their fund. If Mr Zimmerman (and possibly his family) are attacked or murdered based upon the bounty, could criminal charges be brought against the Black Panthers and if so, what charges? Also, would those charges be state or federal? If federal, I seriously doubt Eric Holder would ever bring it to trial.

What?

Is President Obama supposed to never acknowledge the fact that he is African American?

And how does acknowledging that fact "inject race" into the discussion in the context of whether or not the shooting was racially motivated?

Never mind. Don't bother answering my questions because it will be nothing but more of the same "hate on Obama no matter what" crap that we see here daily, from the same posters, over and over and over.

That's part of the reason hate crimes are so stupid. Unless they have evidence that he targeted Trayvon because he was black it cannot be proven to be racially motivated.

Sorry. I'll go back and read the reports. It's never been my intention to mislead people or make false accusations.

Shiloh, I am not saying the call shows racial bias. I'm saying it shows the opportunity to cool down, and 1st degree is an issue of premediated thought processes.

The call likely discredits him linking his actions as being purely reactionary.

You're fighting an admirable fight here Roadking. Unfortunately facts and reason are not going to work. These libs are going to buy into whatever narrative Al Sharpton and MSNBC spoon-feed them. Wait for the facts?... they don't need no stinkin facts.

It's no different from the 'war on women' narrative. Georgetown declined to pay for Flukes BC bills. And not forcing them to do so constitutes a 'war on women.' Go figure.
