So get out of here with your "race doesnt matter" garbage. A White man did not kill that black kid - a Latino did. If white people were not framed as the EVIL people from day 1 in this case by the media there would be alot less white folks giving a hoot about the race in this case. But the media had to high light it was a White man as though it mattered so much...Turns out the killer is not white.

Blame the media for the race angle.
Then leave the race angle and don't argue it. You have a brain, turn it on.

The only thing that should be considered is that Zimmerman was a cowboy who thought he was going to save the day by shooting Trayvon.

Zimmerman stalked that kid in his automobile, got out and shot him dead.

Zimmerman took classes at the local junior college in "Criminal Justice" and made over 40 calls to 911 to report "suspicious activity" including neighbors who left their garage doors open in the complex. Tell me he wasn't on a mission to be an armchair cop?

And let's not forget the incompetence of the local law enforcement who sent a NARCOTICS investigator to a MURDER scene. No wonder the chief stepped down.

The other funny thing is 114 pages of posts on this topic by people who don't know the facts. But that doesn't stop them from forming a (prejudiced) opinion.

Here's the statement; it's hardly incendiary.

Exactly the only reason this a newstory is the shooter is not Black and the victim was Black.

Go to the "Ask a Jew thread" on the religioun forum.
That's the same as Muslim/Christian, if the father (or mother) is Muslim, and the mother (or father) is Christian/Catholic, then the kid has to grow Muslim.

Religion is so pathetic.

Then there is the neighbor who said the development went donhill because of the foreclosure cisis and homeowners renting to "gangsters and lowlives"

I'm familiar with the dynamic that is taking place in the development. marginally upwardly mobile Black folks move into an area. They themselves maybe ok but then they invite their buddies and relatives from the hood and things start to go missing. Arguments increase and shootings.

Is this similiar to Bill Gates buying a mansion and then letting some of his trailor park trash move next door to him? Why don't you do us all a favor and keep your clueless racist rantings to yourself. Hey bright guy all blacks do not have "buddies from the hood".

I am however asserting that Zimmerman had every right and reason to initially profile Trayvon. Obviously events took a tragic turn after that for reasons yet to be determined.

You really should take an aspirin or two, since your head has gotta hurt from so many of these

Oh by the way we have had a quite a few robberies as of late, you know bank rip offs and stolen mortages and there have been some shady looking white guys in suits and ties ...........Wheres is my gun?

It is horrible and tragic when a young life is lost such as in the Travon case in Florida. A full and unbiased investigation should occur everytime a life is taken by another person. PERIOD, no need for comparison to his own daughters or race or background blah blah blah pandering.
It would have been CS of Obama, or any one aspiring to his office, to fail to remark on the racial aspects of this case.

Courageously confronting divisive issues is not the same thing as being divisive. I was proud of Obama today. The difference between him and Romney is getting starker by the minute.

Zimmerman doesn't work, his wife works and the last job he had was 4 years ago working for Carmax.

He sits at home all day long with binoculars staring at the people in his complex and watching their lives and figured he'd play "homeland security cop" and patrol around.

What a douche.

You should know by now I don't post facts without backup. It's simply not my style.
I read the article. I know what you're talking about. No where in this article is there police confirmation of crime sprees. You have provided no proof. Until you do, maybe you should stop harping on this.
