Latino is not a race. He is white. If that is all you are in this thread to argue about I take it you will go away now?
Wrong again. I am here to teach you the correct fact about this mans race. He is not white as you want him to be.
It is a sad thing that happened but lets not get race involved and do the blame game until you have the facts correct, which you do not.
Let get the facts correct. Have you taken the time to look at his picture and his facts or are you one of those who want him to be a white person so you can go on another meaningless rant.
Zimmerman has a Hispanic father. And grew up in a multi race family.
"White. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as "White" or report entries such as Irish, German, Scottish, Italian, Lebanese, Near Easterner, Arab, or Polish."[12]
Some other race. Includes all other responses not included in the 'White', 'Black or African American', 'American Indian and Alaska Native', 'Asian' and 'Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander' race categories described above. Respondents providing write-in entries such as multiracial, mixed, interracial, We-Sort, or a Hispanic/Latino group (for example, Mexican, Puerto Rican, or Cuban) in the "Some other race" category are included here."[12]
"Two or more races. People may have chosen to provide two or more races either by checking two or more race response check boxes, by providing multiple write-in responses, or by some combination of check boxes and write-in responses."[12]
Barrack Hussein Obama has a black father and a white mother, most believe he is a black person, but in this case Zimmerman has a Hispanic ( not white ) father so it is now different?
Which way to you want this to be? You cannot have it both ways.
Lots of questions-
Why on earth would a person where a hoodie over their head in 85 degree temps is beyond me.
Why would Zimmerman be armed?
Why did Zimmerman end up with a bloody face?
The local people are having a hard enough time with this and the media and racist are making matters worse by making this a race issue when it is not a race issue at all.
From what I have heard so far, Zimmerman had been in trouble before. Why he is not in Police custudy is amazing. What a private citizen would be doing chasing down a kid who was just walking is beyond me. If that was my son who was killed by this loose cannon I'd be hunting him down.
Why is it that of all the "millions" of scenarios that you've come up involve Trayvon being the aggressor?

I don't know which one is true any more than you do, the difference is I'm honest enough to admit that I don't know while many here are running full steam ahead with their ideas claiming that they're "facts".
Once again you don't get it! Maybe the block captain had no right to approach, but it seems many young black kid's seem to have a chip on there shoulder when asked a question, why is this? Maybe the kid got defensive when asked why he was where he shouldn't have been and if so, it may have escalated the situation. Survival 101, shut up and be polite.

It was raining that night. Why WOULDN'T he be wearing a hoodie? Many people wear hoodies when it is raining rather than carry an umbrella - I being one of them.
I saw the segment this morning on am show and heard the 911 call where the kid is screaming for help repeatedly. This guy's 911 call prior to his confronting and shooting this kid had him talking about following him, the caller sounded loopy....This guy was told not to follow this kid, by the 911 operator. the guy was following the young man while driving. That in itself is scarey.....If my kid was followed I'd be mad enough. I cannot believe this nut case took it further.
This story is so sad, so tragic, the kid had an ice tea and a bag of skittles after walking home from store..where he had walked to get a snack..Such a senseless killing of a young man. I am so sad for the parents.
They probably have the segment online by now...Good Morning America, Robin Roberts

It also wasn't anywhere near 85 degrees. While FL had a warmer winter than normal it was not 85 degrees on Feb 26th.
The weather NOW is just starting to see temps in the mid 80s.
