Is that hard evidence that George was a racist, for calling the police on African Americans? That's not hard evidence, it's just selectively cherry picking data to support your claim. If it had been changed from black to white, would it still be "racist"?

The only racism in this case is Trayvon calling George a "cracker".

no white should challenge that either, although several in this thread have challenged that.

This white guy supports everyone, regardless of skin color to legally obtain a self defense firearm if they want one.

I guess that was wrong but not this ?

I did not. Those mainly took place during the work week when I had little time to read or post.

If everyone else can refer to Trayvon as a 'thug' then I certainly can refer to Zimmerman as 'porky' - WHICH he certainly has become.

And if Trayvon would've stayed out of trouble and not been suspended, he wouldn't have been at his father's fiance's house and he'd still be alive.

How far do you want to go with your "what ifs"?

And he should certainly regret doing that very thing, but the fact that he got out of the car is no proof of guilt.

Agreed. There is no law in any state that says anyone of any color who qualifies can't carry a legal handgun.

No matter what color.

It's not the people who legally carry that are the problem.

What is sad is that people are maybe too indolent to do any legal research in order to understand principles underlying our legal system.....for example, the "Presumption of Innocence" is a legal principle that simply means that the burden of proof is upon the accuser and that the person accused does not have to prove anything. "Presumption of Innocence" applies to defendants in a court room at trial. It does not mean that anyone in the real, everyday world we all live in is literally "innocent."

There's no need to prove anything abou gZs thought process or state of mind because you'll ignore it anyway. There's a certain degree of glee and celebration of victory in every racist post that TM is dead.

I champion the law. Zimmerman is a wimp doesn't mean he is guilty of a crime. At worst Trayvon was wannabe thug. You see this a lot in young black boys trying to find their way in the world. I know because I was one of them. Most of us grow out of it.

If the sun had not been so hot on the day Trayvon's dad met his mom at that ice cream parlor...

It's good to have someone in the neighborhood that looks out for his neighbors and tries to make it a better place. Maybe TM should have gotten involved with NW instead of drugs and fighting.

Tell me...out of all those calls to dispatch, do we know how many times the police managed to make contact with the people he reported?
