We are not savages who riot and kill people based on allegations. People like you sicken me.

Isn't that exactly what zimmerman did? Assumed he was thug(savage) and then killed him? Where was Trayvon's due process?

He was patrolling his neighborhood because there had been recent breakins. He did nothing wrong. The thug attacked him afterwords and he was shot in return for trying to kill zimmerman.

Ah, I don't think that there is much mystery as to who killed Nicole and Ron Goldman. The only mystery is why the LAPD tried to frame a guilty man or why Christopher Darden was such an idiot.

Trayvon did nothing wrong either, well aybe except for wearing a hoodie and being black. You cannot deny that if zimmerman had let him go, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

They call him and his parents names. They hope for GZ to get off. Don't tell me who they are because I know who they are and why this issue is important to them.

I can guarantee you that there are some conservatives who think Zimmerman was at fault, and there are some liberals who think Trayvon was at fault. Not everyone thinks the same things based on their politcal leanings, or fits into your neat little box. Your entire premise is horribly flawed. But your so convinced in your predjudices you wouldn't admit you were wrong if the truth bit you on the ass.

The "right/tea party" is no better for calling TM parents names and hoping GZ gets off than the "left" hoping GZ gets slammed and claiming TM is innocent.

If you are on either political side during this non political crime, and claiming to have the answer you are just as ignorant.

Anyway, carry on with your left/right debate instead of looking at the facts.

zimmerman is not the victim, plus
trayvon martin won't even be alive
to defend himself.

[tropolis]

and to answer your question, no i dont think itll be OJ like.

We know Zimmerman killed Martin, he admitted it.

We want to find out if he was just in his actions or not.

It's not just this case. I mentioned that Princess Diana got weeks of coverage after she died, but Mother Theresa got mentioned once or twice. The media focuses on a story and it gets bigger and bigger, depending on the attention it gets.

Also, in those other stories, was the killer set free without charges? Every time someone brings up all the other deaths, which are also tragic, I ask if there was an arrest or a trial. This is more than just the shooting of an unarmed teenager. I think we're going to start hearing about a lot of unsolved cases being reopened. Many people give up because they don't think they can fight the system. Trayvon's parents wouldn't just go home and accept that their son attacked Zimmerman and he was shot in self defense. It's like saying that there are rapes every day, but we only hear about a few. That's because the victim is always attacked, just like what's happening to Trayvon Martin and his parents.

If Zimmerman is innocent, he should be acquitted, but I believe he caused the attack, if there really was one, and should be held accountable. However, what I think doesn't matter. Florida Law and how it is interpreted, the evidence collected and eyewitness testimony is what will matter in the end.
