Where have YOU been. Black being killed isn't something that just started this week.
Yes, I know. That's what i am saying. I see it all the time in the news. At this time it is ALL I see, and before this, other incidents have been on local news on daily bases.

Well, it would if the "middle-finger" pointing one is Trayvon...which it's not. The other one could possibly be him, but not sure how gold teeth=deserving of death.
it wasn't about him feeling threatened.... The whole "threatened by the black man with a bag of skittles" didn't come into play until he was knocked to the ground and having his face pounded.
This AFTER following Martin, calling the police and finally making the decision to approach him. Zimmerman provoked the entire situation.
If he decided to stay in his car, a block away and allow the police to intervene he likely would not have shot anyone. The police may have been able to do there job and perhaps no one would have lost their life.
Zimmerman created this entire situation and provoked the altercation.
I've yet to hear or read what "weapon" Trayvon used to hit Zimmerman in the back of the head? Was it the bag of Skittles? Supposedly they were fighting on grass. As for Zimmerman's "eye witness", was he so full of fear that he just stood by and watched what was going on? Were these two, big brave men actually in total fear of Trayvon? Did the police take photos of Zimmerman's head injury??
If Zimmerman has an "eye witness", I bet the "eye witness" thought that SYG would result in no arrest. I wonder if there is an arrest of Zimmerman and it goes to court, if the "eye witness" is prepared to take the stand and make the same testimony.
Guess what? Your speculation as to who, what, when, or where is of no value. Not on the board. Not to police. Not to society. In the United States, the justice system gives credit to eye witnesses. You can speculate until you're blue in the face as to whether or not you believe the eye witness account ......but the bottom line is that it only makes you look ignorant for second guessing the person who was actually there and actually saw the event as it played out.
So why do you do this to yourself? Unfortunately, you're not alone. Millions of people have declared Zimmerman guilty in the court of public opinion.......which goes to show how shallow-minded Americans really are.
You should hold yourself to a higher standard.
