Like I said, the fact that Trayvon Martin was shot by George Zimmerman isn't the national case.
The national case is a. he wasn't immediately arrested b. the fact that Zimmerman has a whole horde of defenders coming out of the woodwork with bizarre and absurd rationalizations for his behavior.
A and B indicate the fact this nation has a serious race issue.
The shooting in and of itself, not so much.
There also seem to be hordes of people ready to convict him in the court of public opinion. That speaks volumes as well, no?
Was Zimmerman's safety on prior to approaching Trayvon?
Did he take the safety off as he followed Trayvon?
Most folks that I know who carry have their weapons on safety to prevent an accidental shooting.
Really grasping here .... here let me educate you yet again
The PF-9 is a semi-automatic, locked breech pistol, chambered for the 9mm Luger cartridge. It has been developed from our highly successful P-11 and P-3AT pistols with maximum concealability in mind. The PF-9 has a single stack magazine holding 7 rounds. It is one of the lightest and flattest 9 mm ever made. Firing mechanism is Double-Action Only with an automatic hammer block safety. The PF-9 is available in blued, parkerized, and hard chrome finishes. Grips are in black, grey, and olive drab.
Extreme media bias in Zimmerman-Martin story (shocking)

Do you know how many kids go to 7/11 in this country? Should they stay at home now? The only one making this racial in this thread is you. A child of ANY race shot to death for going to the store to get a candy bar and a soda is news anywhere.
You might want to look in the mirror here. If the kid is white, what do you think the odds are that you'd be thinking that the perpetrator should be going to a jury of his peers.
noexcuseforignorance,
You seem to have an excuse. You need to re-read the news and get the story right. If this would have been a story about one Black kid attacking another Black kid there would be no story, because that happens every day of the week. But the news media tried to make a Latrino in the story white, so the story could read a White Man against a Black Teen. The headline should have read 'Black Teen attacks Latino and was shot'. That is what actually happened according to eye witnesses.
I know black people who do not want to live in an all black neighborhood because of crime and break ins.. they are afraid of their own...It has been like that for decades.. there is plenty of black on black killings and getting worse.
One black guy says he won't go out at night because of the gun shots her hears. Can anyone realize the blacks should clean up their act and stop shooting each other and acting like thugs breaking in to peoples homes?
I am sure there are plenty of good blacks who don't want to live in the neighborhoods with the thugs.It is the thugs that make it bad on all blacks.
Can anyone be adult enough to see that.. if black people want respect , they better lean on their own who act like thugs making it hell for the black decent person who is not a thug.
You know there is truth in that.
Why paint all Blacks with a broad brush? Your post is disgusting!
I'd be suspicious if a strange kid was outside my house that late. The left wants everybody to lock their doors, hide, and pray the bad man goes away.
It doesn't work like that. Its ok to be sispicious, especially with all the stuff going on these days.
I'd be extra suspicious if I saw a black kid on my block, no blacks near my neighbohood for whatever reason(property taxes maybe) but every break in we've had the last few years have been black kids.
It is what it is and that's how I've been conditioned.
If you think I'm going to risk my family's safety just to be nice you're stupid.
I'd expect to be treated the same way if I was caught in their hood, but I know I'd act civil when confronted.
He was told to stop by a dispatcher, which isn't an order..
Just the fact you think it's ok for an armed person to pursue someone just because they look suspicious and engage them in a confrontation where the pursuee ends up dead assures me you aren't wrapped too tight.
There's no SELF DEFENSE WHEN YOU'RE PURSUING SOMEONE. You're the aggressor! Plain and simple.
I hope I'm not neighbors with any of you crazed lunatics.
