Oops, wrong story. Why didn't the white-black homeowner stay inside his house and wait for 911 to come instead of confronting that innocent teen?

If the white-black man would've stayed in his house, the teen boy would've been alive today with a promising future.

Did you read your own link, OP? That story is like apples and oranges to the Zimmerman case.

It is different. But I will say this. I think if you reversed the skin color in this story, and homeowner was white, kid was black and everything else stayed the same......I think we would have similar reaction from the same folks speaking out against Zimmerman.

They would say he didnt have to go out side, hes racist. He shouldve just called the police and stayed inside. He just wanted to shoot a black kid. How dare they find him not guilty, lets get the NAACP and Holder involved.

The above would absolutely happen if skin color was reversed.

As little as I know, I dont think the guy did anything wrong and deserved to be acquitted.

Exactly like George deserved to be acquitted.

Same story, reverse colors.

The perpetual victims won't see it that way, though.

Maybe this story will resonate then:

One white fellow against four black gang members. Had to dig for this story, as the media can't seem to find the time to put it on.

Why didn't he just wait for the police instead of looking for trouble outside his house? He didn't need to kill that little boy.

This story certainly does not relate to the Trayvon Martin case in any way.
