That the local police department would buy your story without as much as an investigation is even more upsetting. Is this 1912 or 2012? Is this America or Somalia?

If Zimmerman doesn't get the death penalty or at least life without the possibility of parole, America will have lost apart of her conscience. Given the deliberate inaction of the local police department, it's encouraging to the see the FBI intervening. Let's see if justice is truly colorblind in this country.
he loves guns so much firing squad.

Are you not innocent until proven guilty?

If he cannot get a fair trial, then he walks free.

I realize that this is a hot topic and there is a lot of real, and supposed information out there, but the bottom line is, not a person here knows the whole story, and yet, he has been convicted. Kinda like that international banker accused of raping that maid in New York. Everyone THOUGHT they knew he was guilty, he lost his job, his credibility, and then it was found out he was being falsely accused. Think Tawana Brawley...

Yes, I believe that something bad happened, and I believe that Mr Zimmerman, was contributory to the incident, but until I KNOW who/what/why/how it happened in it's entirety, I am not going to put the death sentence on the table and trust me, I am ALL for the death penalty when required.
Why didn't the kid get a fair trial? It seems like mr. zimmerman convicted this kid without any evidence.

Shouldn't we wait for a trial and conviction first?

If this guy isn't convicted I will be convinced that America is beyond saving.

Yes he did, and as one jurur said. " Mr simpson is mistaken that we found him innocent , what we found is that the prosecution did not prove its case." The same could happen in this case.
