Yes, but I'm specifically addressing those who are talking about other black boys being killed and the lack of an outcry. You're moving the goalposts.

Sometimes HOAs have a segment before the meeting is called to order where members can express concerns. It would be interesting to determine if Zimmerman spoke during meetings, what he said and what the Board approved.
Is'nt the job of the neighborhood watch is to.....hmmm perhaps WATCH! and not go out shooting people?

Seeing how this murder has been handled by the police and reading some of the ridiculous excuses on this board make me wonder if we have really come very far since the days of Emmet Till. It appears that some people believe that being a young black male should be punishable by death.

These idiots think that the police told Zimmerman he was free to go, have a nice day. You know damn well Zimmerman is not only hiding for his life right now but the police are watching every move he makes.

Gee it sure must be nice to live in your shoes. It really has more to do with the fact that he was able to shot a innocent child and then the police covering for him. Would it be different if it was a black shooter and a white child? You bet your butt it would have been! He proably would not had made it through the night without been murdered himself. You are the one filled with ignorance and yes proably hate as well.

For the record zimmerman was not hiding from anyone until the news broke on this case, he like the police dept thought that this case as well as many others would have been swept under the rug.

No they don't...your wrong...however, I and a whole lot of other citizens of the U.S. are getting tired and sick, litererally weary of the way some black people excuse they're actions b/c they're black and get away with it...or feel entitled to be able to do anything they want without any consequence. I don't care what color you are, if you break the law, you need to take responsiblity....

and then, some people would call my statement racists? Look at the statistics....man...it's ridiculous, in this day and age, to be living in that ghetto mentality...it's high time we start making these people, both black and whites, take responsiblity for they're lives.

I told my son, when he was growing up, if you ever, ever say that word, I'm slap you across the face, and I have never slapped you across the face. I raised him with blacks...who are good law abiding people, beautiful people...middle and upper class people...people who stopped looking for excuses and reasons why, but said, "I'm not going to live like that" and are now doctors, execs, attorneys, cops...

Trayvon is as much a victim of Black criminality as he is of Zimmerman in my opinion.

Those who complain about profiling act as if there is no basis for people to be suspicious of young black males. They are simply not dealing with reality. It's odd you rarely hear Asians profiled. When they are stereotyped it's because they are not acting up to the standards or norms of the community.

Wasn't it last year Memorial Day there were a rash of violent incidents all across the country committed by young blacks? Just last Xmas Blacks all across the country were practically killing themselves for some over price shoes. A community can't continue to be responsible for anti-social behaviors and expect the rest of the country to not take notice and quickly conclude that this community is a threat.

So my remedy is instead of whining and crying about whitey fix your own house first.
I think it's a reach to say that Treyvon "is as much" a victim of the black criminlaity than he was of Zimmerman, but this post is dead spot on.

So why is nobody taking responsibility for the actions of George Zimmerman? He murdered an unarmed child. Sounds like breaking the law to me. And who on this thread is excusing the actions of anyone black? What actions are there to excuse, anyway?

What does this have to do with this thread? Why do you think anybody cares what you told your son? Who you grew up with. Who cares and what does that have do with this thread? Do you think whatever you are talking about here(I have no idea what, you are all over the place) justifies what was done here? If not than it is irrelevent and perhaps you should start your own thread about your issues with blacks.

That has nothing to do with this issue. Sounds like you keep company with militia groups. Please tell me what actions you are speaking of? Also, please tell me about the last black person who killed a white person and was never even charged or arrested? If this were a white child and a black killer, don't you think people would be upset or are you so consumed with anger toward black people that you can't feel empathy toward a child or his family, when he was murdered with a bag of skittles and Arizona iced tea in his pocket? What did Trayvon Martin do wrong that anyone is trying to excuse? Lay off the hatorade.
