The benefit is to not arrest people based on fear of a mob.

You give white people to much credit.

One thing about whites are, they don't need to do anything "quietly".

Your remarks also say that whites cannot think unless it's a "black and white" situation. That's an insult to whites.

Innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. It's one of the core Rights of our Nation and is in place to protect people, no matter what their skin color, sexual preference, economic status, or political leanings.

I, and I suspect no one else here, really knows what happened. We need to wait for the police and Prosecuting attorney to put together a case based on the available evidence, and then we need to wait for another Right to be invoked - trial by Jury of his peers.

Until that all happens, everyone needs to shut up, sit back and let the scales of justice work as they're supposed too.

I think you misunderstand.

It seems that many people are crying "racism".
"Where is the justice"?
"If this had been a black shooting a white, I bet he'd be in jail"

I am addressing THOSE folks.

I am wondering what THOSE people think the reason would be for not arresting Zimmerman IF there was any sort of compelling evidence.

What do THEY think is the benefit of purposely ignoring evidence and knowingly bringing a mob down on their city.

Really? I have heard right wingers say he should be charged. Why do you think it is so important to whites that they will change their vote?

Anyone that votes for President based on Zimmerman is probably too dumb to find the polling place

Ok, can we please stop this myth. 43% of white people voted for obama. That is less than 50%. Obama still needed every black, latino, woman, child and aliens to win the 08 election

Those would be racist whites and they weren't voting for him anyways.

Besides I thought he was Hispanic

He should be charged - and I just heard on the news, according to a report from the Washington Post, that a Florida Prosecutor is going to be charging Zimmerman. More to follow.
